Everyone eats differently and has a different relationship with foods but if the way you eat or do not eat is taking over your life, you could have an eating problem.
It is not unusual for eating habits to change slightly, one day you might feel really hungry and another day not so much. But if these changes are drastic like you’re focusing a lot on controlling what and how much you are eating or if you make yourself sick after eating these are signs you might have a problem.
It can be different for everyone, here are some of troubling eating behaviours you might be experiencing when it comes to food:
Making yourself sick after eating
Loosing your appetite/feeling nauseas around food
Dramatic weight loss or gain
Eating when not hungry
Feeling you need to be secretive about eating
Stick to a rigid set of diet rules
Check and weigh your body often
Feeling very anxious about having to eat/digest food
Excessively exercise to keep weight off after eating
Obsessive about your body and the effect food has on it
Avoiding socialising when you think food will be involved.
