Disordered Eating Quiz
1. Do you worry that you have lost control over how much you eat?
2. Do you compensate if you feel uncomfortably full? (ie. exercise, vomiting, laxatives)
3. Have you or a family member ever suffered with an eating disorder?
4. Have you restricted or dieted in the past? Have you lost weight intentionally or unintentionally?
5. Do you ever eat in secret or hide food?
6. Does your weight affect how you feel about yourself?
If you answered yes to any of the above questions, you would benefit from speaking with a therapist and dietitian to improve your relationship with food and body.
When you are consumed by disordered eating and body hatred, it affects all areas of your life. Relationships with family and friends can become strained because it feels like your emotions are all over the place. Depression and anxiety are exacerbated by disordered eating behaviors. It can make life feel really overwhelming and exhausting.
You don't have to live like this anymore.
