Eating Disorders > How do I know if I have an eating disorder

You can be fairly certain that you have an eating problem if your eating behaviour or attitudes about weight interrupt your life and take pleasure out of it. Typically, people with eating problems are preoccupied with their weight, shape and the food they are consuming.

You may have an eating problem if your experience some of the following:

1. excessive concern about weight, shape and calories
2. unusual eating habits
3. irregular menstruation or ceasing of menstruation
4. depression or irritability
5. guilt or shame about eating
6. strict avoidance of certain foods, particularly those considered fattening
7. feeling fat when not "overweight"
8. use of laxatives, diuretics, purgatives
9. excessive exercise
10. vomiting to purge food
11. noticeable weight loss in anorexia
12. frequent weight fluctuation in bulimia
13. extreme concern about appearance, both physical and behavioural
