How many minutes of your day do you spend thinking about your weight? Do
you feel controlled by what you eat and how you look? From counting
calories, to watching the scale and worrying about meals, these types of
thoughts can easily take over your life.
February 20-26, 2011 is National Eating Disorders Awareness Week. As
part of this national observance, the Counseling Center will be offering
confidential screenings for eating disorders with the opportunity to
discuss your results with one of our staff. The screenings can be
completed in our office at 204 Halladay Student Services, or online at
www.mentalhealthscreening.org/screening/TEXASCOMMERCE

"While a single number on the scale never tells the whole story, for
thousands of college students, the daily struggle with the mirror or the
scale heightens feelings of depression, isolation and low self-esteem,
which can increase the likelihood of developing an eating disorder,"
says Dr. Nicki Moore, Ph.D., licensed psychologist and assistant
athletic director for psychological resources & strategic planning at
the University of Oklahoma. "Eating disorders can be successfully
treated and often prevented when an individual seeks help in the early
stages."
