Do you worry and obsess about your weight and what you eat?

Do you feel like you don't measure up to the body image presented in magazines, television and the movies?

Find that diets don't work and only make you feel worse about yourself?

If you answered yes, you may be at risk of developing an eating disorder. You may also find yourself struggling socially, emotionally, professionally or academically. You don't have to live this way.

Most common behaviors seen in people with body image issues:

• frequent glancing in reflective surfaces/mirror checking
• skin picking
• avoiding mirrors
• repeatedly measuring or touching the undesired body area
• repeated requests for reassurance of one's looks
• elaborate grooming rituals
• camouflaging some aspect of one's appearance
• avoiding social situations where others might see the disliked body area
• anxiety when with other people

Increase your self-esteem, develop the relationships you want, and learn to be happy and healthy at any size.
