All of us have different ways of eating. Sometimes we might eat more than we do on other days, sometimes we might eat healthier than other days. If we’re feeling very sad or tired we might eat less or more than we usually do. These changes don’t always mean we have a problem with eating.
You might want to ask someone you trust for help if any of the following apply to you:
- If your worries about eating are taking up a lot of your time and you’re starting to worry about losing control of those thoughts
- If people who care about you are starting to get worried about the way you do or don’t eat
If you think you are doing any of these things then you might want to mention them when you ask for help, if you are:
- being secretive about being food
- struggling with confidence about your body
- comparing yourself to others and it effecting how you eat
- being sick a lot
- not eating for a while
- overeating more than you are hungry for
- worrying about gaining or losing weight.
