Body Image & Eating Concerns

Over 29 million Americans experience a clinically significant eating disorder during their lifetime. The National Alliance for Eating Disorders defines eating disorders as a psychological condition that affects your relationship with food. If you need outpatient services to help manage your body image or eating concerns, check out this . Food is not the enemy and you are more than a number on a scale. We come in many different and beautiful colors, shapes, and sizes. So let's focus on celebrating and honoring our bodies instead.

Disordered Eating Symptoms

  • Extremely restricted eating
  • Extreme thinness (emaciation)
  • A relentless pursuit of thinness and unwillingness to maintain a normal or healthy weight
  • Intense fear of gaining weight
  • Distorted body image, a self-esteem that is heavily influenced by perceptions of body weight and shape, or a denial of the seriousness of low body weight
