Bulimia: Do You Have A Problem?

Are you like Mary? Let's ask the question in another way.

• Do you feel your value is in your thinness?
• Do you think about food all the time?
• Do these thoughts interfere with your concentration?
• Do you avoid social situations because you feel fat?
• Do you avoid situations where there's food?
• Do you feel your life would be better if you lost 5 or 10 pounds?

If you have answered yes to one or more of these questions, you are having a problem with food and body image. It may be that you have an obsession, which means that thoughts about food and your body go round-and-round in your head and you can't stop them. If you don't pay attention to these obsessive thoughts, you may begin to act in ways that can be harmful to your health.

DON'T WAIT ANOTHER DAY. The sooner you get help, the better your chances of recovery.
