      COULD I HAVE AN EATING DISORDER?

Eating disorders (bulimia and anorexia nervosa) affect the individual in various ways. Typically they follow a progressive course from mild to serious symptoms.

These questions were designed to help you identify a problem with eating. This problem may be in the beginning stages; it may have settled already in a set pattern, or it may be quite advanced.

If you recognize through the questionnaire that your eating is becoming a problem, please contact one of our counselors at the Counseling and Wellness Center by calling our phone number 832-1945 or by clicking on one of the counselors photos in the "Meet the Staff" page.

SELF IDENTIFICATION

  • Do you sometimes feel that if you could only lose weight, you would then be able to achieve all of your other goals?
  • Do you diet or fast as often as weekly or monthly?
  • Are you frequently depressed because you feel fat or overweight?
  • Do you frequently overeat (or frequently control the amount you eat) when you are under pressure or when you feel unhappy?
  • Would you eat more than others if you didn't control yourself?
  • Do you feel "good" or "bad" according to how much you eat, how much you weigh, or how much exercise you get?
  • Did you at one time purge occasionally when you wanted to, but now purge regularly? Does purging let you feel in control?

    Private, confidential screening for eating disorders is available at any time by calling the number below for an appointment with a counselor.
