Eating Disorders Counseling in Okemos

Have you or a loved one become so preoccupied with food and weight that it has taken over your every thought?

Perhaps you excuse yourself to purge after meals, have excessive food restrictions, or engage in secretive exercise. Recognizing the warning signs of eating disorders may or may not be as apparent as you think. These harmful behaviors create the illusion of control while wreaking havoc on multiple aspects of your well being, such as your mental and physical health.

The good news is that the effects of eating disorders are preventable and most are reversible with early intervention. In order to begin treatment, it is important to recognize the signs of an eating disorder either in yourself or in your loved one.

Signs of an eating disorder:

  • Dramatic fluctuations in weight
  • Excessive or secretive exercising
  • Purging after meals
  • Expressing extreme body image dissatisfaction
  • Feelings of guilt after eating

While eating disorders are not limited to the signs mentioned above, it is important to realize the seriousness of these debilitating disorders. Health consequences can be severe and even life-threatening, resulting in cardiovascular issues, such as the risk for heart failure, gastrointestinal issues, such as muscle weakness in the intestines and throat sores from purging, and psychological issues, such as depression, body dysmorphia, and other co-occurring disorders.

Full recovery is possible.
