Are you at risk for an eating disorder?*

	Learn to love yourself »   When you look in the mirror, catch yourself before you say something negative. Instead, say something positive. It will feel better. »   Keep a "Top 10" list of things you already like about yourself, on the outside and the inside. Add to your list often. »   Eat when you are hungry. Rest when you are tired. Surround yourself with people and possessions that remind you of your inner strength and beauty.

Do you …

• skip at least one meal a day?
• count calories and fat grams every time you eat or drink?
• constantly think about food, weight or body image?
• label foods “good” and “bad"?
• vomit after eating or use laxatives or diuretics to keep your weight down?
• worry about what your last meal is doing to your body?
• weigh yourself every day?
• determine your mood for the entire day based on the number on your scale?
• exercise because you have to, not because you want to?
• exercise more than 45 minutes, five times each week with the goal of burning calories?
• exercise to lose weight even if you are ill or injured?
