A QUESTION
Whether you starve yourself, as in anorexia nervosa, or whether you binge and then purge as in some cases of anorexia nervosa, but mainly in bulimia nervosa, or whether you feel overweight and are obsessed with dieting, I hope that you will find answers that will soon set you on the road to recovery.
Despite modern technology and advanced medicine, the problem of loving yourself and your body remains a constant battle in the lives of many people.
The solution is not in dieting, but in finding out who you are and learning to love yourself from the inside.
This means establishing the causes of your eating disorder, rather than simply treating the symptoms (i.e. the weight, the purging, the starvation, the diet, etc).
My understanding of this issue stems from years of experience as a psychologist specialising in this area. Let me share my knowledge to help you understand this area of your life.
