How often:

• Do you weigh yourself or find yourself preoccupied with numbers on the scale or with counting calories?
• Do you feel shame, guilt, disgust, fear after eating something "bad?"
• Do you think about controlling food and/or your body that you don't have much mental space left for other things in life?
• Do you base your self-worth on how you look or how/what you eat?

If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, you may be dealing with disordered eating or an eating disorder.

At the Student Counseling Center, our coordinated treatment team includes a therapist, dietitian (nutrition counselor), and a medical provider (in coordination with Student Health Services).
