RULE

One sign of an eating disorder is that food, weight, and body image rules your thoughts, speech, and actions. You always think about food, your weight, or your body. Conversations revolve around weight or body image. Your responses, discourse, and thoughts revolve around losing weight, and you often think about or use inappropriate ways to lose weight.

If you feel like you have lost control over your life, you might have an eating disorder. You feel like food dominates your life. Thinking about weight affects your mood. You often compare yourself to others and feel out of control when you eat.

Can you identify with any of these factors?
