What Are Eating and Body Image Issues?
EDEN uses the term eating difficulties to refer to a wide continuum of women’s (and men’s) experience. It can include a preoccupation with food, yo-yo dieting, body image dissatisfaction, self induced starvation and vomiting, laxative abuse, eating past fullness, steroid abuse, and excessive exercising (among others). Included in this continuum are the eating disorders anorexia and bulimia.
