- You have negative feelings about your body image and do unhealthy things to feel better about it like using laxatives or making yourself throw up after meals.
- You eat many different kinds of food or a lot of one thing in a very short period of time or you continue this for hours.
- You feel shame and guilt after you eat. You eat secretly.
- You eat to numb out feelings or to comfort yourself.
- You have an unrealistic view of your body (like you think your fat when you’re not) and you restrict your food intake.
- You have a lot of anxiety about food and other issues.
- You strive for perfection and this reflects in your view of your body. You engage in compensatory behaviors to achieve this.
- You restrict your food intake as a way to control your situation and the chaos you feel around you. 10. You exercise to burn off every calorie you take in. Of course there are other behaviors I could add to this list. You probably know if something is off with your eating behavior and your feelings about food.
