How to recognize if you or someone you care about may be struggling with an eating disorder....

• Do you make yourself sick because you feel full or want to eat more?
• Do you worry that you have lost control over how much you actually eat?
• Have you recently lost 15 pounds or more in a three month period?
• Do you see yourself as fat or overweight when others tell you that you are skinny or too thin?
• Do you find that you constantly think about food?

If you answered 'yes' to two or more of the above questions, you possibly could have an eating disorder.
