For many people, summertime conjures up images of barbecues and beach vacations, family time at the pool and 4th of July fun. It’s also a season where we get bombarded with advertisements and messages about getting a “beach body” or becoming “bikini ready.” For those who struggle with food addiction, binge-eating, emotional eating, compulsive eating, weight issues, and poor body image, summer can be a time of high anxiety instead of a season filled with fun.
If you are one of the 46,000,000 (yes 46 Million!!) people in the United States who struggle to control their eating behaviors, you are not alone! The diet industry is a BILLION dollar business for a reason — millions of people struggle to eat well, eat consistently, enjoy their food and manage their weight.
Have you ever:
- Eaten in secret or tried to hide the amount or type of food you were eating from others?
- Felt shame or guilt about what you are eating?
- Weighed yourself multiple times per day?
- Consumed large amounts of food in one sitting while feeling out of control?
- Stood in front of a mirror pinching, pulling or otherwise examining your body shape appearance?
- Lost and gained and lost and gained weight in a year-to-decades-long cycle?
- Avoided social events because of shame or disgust over your physical appearance?
- Eaten more rapidly than normal?
- Eaten until feeling uncomfortably full (sometimes to the point of physical pain)?
- Eaten large amounts of food even when not feeling physically hungry?
- Tried to “be good” but find yourself “falling off the wagon” and repeating old behaviors?
If you answered yes to any of the above questions, you will benefit from supportive treatment at Aurora Center NYC.
