Eating Disorders

Eating disorders are serious, widespread conditions that cause both physical and emotional damage. Contrary to popular belief, eating disorders are not really about food or weight, but instead, they’re about attempts to control or avoid emotional and stress-related issues. Families By Design can help sufferers develop a healthy relationship with food and body image.

Eating disorders include: Anorexia Nervosa, in which you become too thin, but you don’t eat enough because you think you are fat. Bulimia Nervosa, which involves periods of overeating - followed by purging, sometimes through self-induced vomiting or using laxatives and Binge-Eating, which is out-of-control eating.
