Eating and Body Image Concerns
Have you found yourself obsessing over how many calories you eat in a day? Or isolating from social engagements for fear of eating too much?
​
Is your 10 year old commenting about how “fat” they are, or you notice that they have been missing at mealtimes, or complaining that they had a big lunch so aren’t hungry at dinner?
​
Do you spend a lot of time in front of the mirror checking your body, pinching parts of your body, or criticizing yourself because of how you look? Do you ever exercise to the point of exhaustion, or use exercise as a form of punishment?
These might be passing concerns but they are also signs of what we can see with budding eating disorders, so it could be useful to explore in a conversation with one of our team.

Food can be a complicated, wonderful, difficult subject. Understanding a person's relationship with food
and the impact is has on their life is paramount to successful changes. I have over 15 years of clinical
nutrition experience working in a variety of clinic, hospital and outpatient settings and love being part
of a multi-disciplinary team. A team approach provides clients with the best possible, individualized
plan to optimize health.
