Troubled Eating

Food becomes an issue when you:

• Feel guilty when you're not on a diet
• Are constantly weight watching
• Have to exercise to compensate for your eating
• Feel guilty when you eat or other people see you eating
• Make yourself sick after eating
• Take laxatives
• Eat only low calorie or high fibre food
• Eat more than you want to but feel that you can't stop
• Feel anxious and panicky before eating
• Lots of people have problems with food and eating and it is nothing to feel embarrassed or ashamed about. All the organisations you contact will treat your enquiry confidentially.
