If you think you may have a problem, Merryl Bear, Former Director of the National Eating Disorders Information Centre (NEDIC) recommends asking yourself these questions:

How do these behaviours impact my life?
How do they help me?
How do they hurt me?
In looking at how they help me, is that true help?
Is there something more productive I can do in helping me achieve what I want to achieve?
Is it genuinely not interfering with my ability to live a full and engaged life?

If you need help, or know someone who may, please call or email Riverwalk Eating Disorders and Wellness Centres at (905) 886-6632 or info@edoyr.com or contact the National Eating Disorder Information Centre
