“I have been struggling a lot with eating lately.
I'm not bulimic or anorexic, and my weight is where it should be. I even eat healthily.
But I think about food all the time. I'm constantly planning when and what I'm going to eat
at my next meal. After I eat, I often feel fat, and when I look in the mirror, I am aware
that the image I see is distorted by my worries about food. When I go out to lunch with people,
I try to order something healthier than what the other person gets. My worries about food are
dominating too much of my thoughts. Can SCRS help me to change the way I think about food?”
WHAT SCRS CAN DO:
- help you think about whether you might be worrying about food in order to avoid dealing with other aspects of your life
- help you address distortions in your thinking about food and body image
- help connect with you support groups at the university or in the community, if necessary
