EATING DISORDER COUNSELING at Aletris in Scottsdale, AZ
Concerned about how your body looks? Using food to control or soothe your
emotions? Are you afraid of becoming fat? Do you fear certain types of food or think about food in an unhealthy way? Do you exercise excessively? Do you hide the amount you are eating or not eating to make it appear to others that you are not restricting your diet? If you answered “yes” to any of the questions above, you may have an eating disorder. At the very least, you may have “disordered eating” which can lead to an eating disorder.
