7 signs of eating disorders you shouldn’t ignore
Concerns about food and body image are common, but when they become ongoing worries or lead to harmful behaviors, they can begin to seriously impact both physical health and overall daily life.
Here are 7 signs of eating disorders you shouldn’t ignore—especially if they’ve been affecting you for weeks or months.
1Preoccupation with food or body Persistent thoughts about eating, weight, or shape can interfere with your daily life and focus.
2Restrictive dieting or fasting Severely limiting food intake or skipping meals can be a warning sign of disordered eating.
3Binge eating episodes Regularly eating large amounts of food in secret or feeling out of control while eating.
4Purging behaviors Using vomiting, laxatives, or excessive exercise to “undo” eating is a red flag for an eating disorder.
5Strong feelings of shame or guilt Overwhelming emotions tied to food or body image can impact self-worth and relationships.
6Noticeable weight changes Rapid weight loss, gain, or fluctuations may signal underlying disordered eating patterns.
7Withdrawal and low mood Avoiding social situations, feeling isolated, or experiencing depression linked to eating habits.
