Eating Disorders |
 |
| Are
you addicted to exercise? |
| Are
you struggling with accepting the body you have? |
| Are
you severely limiting the amount of food you take in daily? |
| Are you
overeating and then using different methods to rid your body of the
excessive food you have taken in over a short amount of time? |
| If you
have answered "yes" to any or all of these questions, you may be
experiencing symptoms of an eating disorder. Thousands of
college students face the challenges of adjusting to these years
filled with new experiences and responsibilities. For some men
and women, this includes struggles with their appearance, weight,
and satisfaction with their bodies. Eating disorder behaviors
can become a way to feel some control when different parts of life
feel out of control. However, eating disorder behaviors are
not a healthy way to cope and can lead to serious problems with
health, relationships, and self-esteem. |
