Resources and Self-Quiz

How much time each day do you think of food, dieting, or your body?

The appropriate treatment can break this obsession and help put these thoughts in proper perspective.

Do you...

     ____ Obsess about food throughout the day?
     ____ Feel out of control around food?
     ____ Feel embarrassed by the way you look?
     ____ Use vomiting, laxatives, diuretics or diet pills?
     ____ Subject yourself to fasting or very low calorie diets?
     ____ Exercise vigorously more than an hour per day?
     ____ Eat so much you become ill?

If you have checked one of more of these symptoms, you may have an eating disorder.

Don't let it control your life any longer.
