Due to Western society’s notion of being physically thin as something to desire, it is not uncommon for people to worry about their weight. However, someone with an eating disorder experiences a constant and excessive preoccupation with their weight, it becomes the focus of their life, which can lead to mental and physical health issues.

When you feel like you need to control what you eat and feel guilty if you don't follow certain rules about food, you might be getting caught in the vicious cycle of an eating disorder. An eating disorder is a complex relationship with food that affects people of all ages and genders. There are different types of eating disorders but symptoms typically range from a mild preoccupation with food and body image to a deep fear of gaining weight, body dysmorphia, excessive exercising, purging, and binging.
Eating disorders are insidious conditions that creep up over time. Often it starts as a desire to lose a few pounds, tone up, and be healthier. However, it can take over your whole life and make you feel helpless and trapped in an endless cycle of preoccupation about what you eat and how you look.
Additionally, negative body image has been shown to be linked to dieting and eating disorders. Over time, your body image concerns can lead to attempts to control how you look. You might be trying different diets, exercising more, or trying to eat healthier. This could mean cutting out food groups, fasting, and/or excessive exercising to control your shape and weight. These are painful cycles that can leave your feeling frustrated with yourself and at a loss as to how to break free from the endless preoccupation of food and weight.

Arzu Ferguson
Psychologist, M.Sc., RP, C. Psych.
Living with an eating disorder can be very distressing and detrimental to your daily life. When choosing a therapist, it is important to find someone that will understand your situation. Likewise, you want to feel at ease when sharing your feelings and thoughts. My goal as a therapist is to work as a team to challenge negative thought patterns, create healthy eating habits and develop healthy coping mechanisms. I have advanced training in Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and have worked with clients suffering with bulimia nervosa, anorexia nervosa and binge eating disorder. For further information, please feel free to contact me and receive a prompt reply.
