Does the number on the scale determine your mood, how you feel or how your day will be? Do you weigh yourself multiple times a day to see if you gained or lost weight? Are you unhappy with what you see in the mirror...
 
Are you afraid of being fat or worried about your weight? Do you feel fat even though others say you're too thin? Do you think you will be happy if you are thin...
 
Do you count every calorie you eat? Do you constantly think about food or label foods as "safe" and "unsafe"? Do you feel undeserving of eating certain foods? Do you exercise for hours a day to burn calories or purge after you eat... 
 
Do you eat when you're upset? Does food give you comfort? Do you eat large amounts of food even if you're not hungry? Do you feel controlled by food...

If you are feeling controlled by the fears, worries, and rules about food, weight and appearance, you might feel frustrated, depressed, anxious, confused, and exhausted. Solutions for Eating Disorders can help you take control of your thoughts and feelings so that you can open yourself to new possibilities... 

 


What causes Eating Disorders?

Eating disorders are very complex and   usually develop as a way to cope with difficult feelings, stress, and/or relationship conflicts. Eating disorders do not have one identifiable cause, instead they usually develop from the combination of a variety of vulnerabilities including psychological factors, emotional difficulties, personality features, social & cultural factors, and family difficulties. Through  the therapy process, you can develop an understanding of the factors that contributed to the development of your eating disorder and the purpose it serves so that you can begin the process of healing and develop new ways of coping. 

Solutions for Eating Disorders provides special counseling services to help you discover why you are thinking and worrying about food, weight, and your appearance... to help you understand, resolve, and heal the fears and worries you have about food and weight...
