A problematic relationship to food, eating, and exercise can look like constant concern about weight and appearance; constant preoccupation with food; feeling out of control, especially at mealtime; and/or overexercising.

Choosing the right therapist is critical. Make sure they are someone who can listen without judgment; they sincerely acknowledge how hard it can be; they don’t assume to know how you feel; they ask how they can be of support/help; they stay positive and encouraging.
