Eating disorder Treatment in florida

You are here because you are trying to find a solution to your problem. Recently you’ve noticed that you have an unhealthy relationship with food. The isolation and stress caused by the pandemic have impacted your mood to the point where you do not recognize nor understand your energy level. You don’t feel like doing anything and lack motivation. You are constantly thinking about your shape and weight which has made it very difficult to concentrate on things you are interested in.

These constant thoughts about your body have caused you to deliberately try to limit the amount of food you eat. In an attempt to reach your goal, you’ve gone for long periods of time without eating anything at all. You’ve tried to exclude from your diet any foods that you like which have caused you to follow definite rules regarding your eating. You find it very difficult to concentrate on things you are interested in.

While experiencing low mood, you noticed that no matter how you feel, you no longer rely on your intuition and choose foods that do not resonate with you. Instead, you crave and overeat foods that will later make you feel uncomfortable. This leads you to feel increasingly anxious since you are unable to maintain a balanced schedule and lifestyle including: morning routine, nutritious meals, water intake and self care.

You feel withdrawn and isolated from friends, family, and activities because you are not happy with how you look or feel confident in your clothes. It’s hard for you to remember when this all started but you have a sense that things have progressively led you to this cycle.

A part of you desires to be healthy and break the cycle.
