Here are 5 short questions you can ask yourself (or someone else) if you suspect an eating disorder.
- Do you make yourself sick because you feel full?
- Do you worry that you may have lost control over how much you eat?
- Have you recently lost more than 6kg in a 3 month period?
- Do you believe yourself to be fat when others say you are too thin?
- Would you say food dominates your life?
If you answered YES to 2 or more of the questions above you (or the person you know) may be at risk of having an eating disorder. Here’s what to do next.
