- I use weight loss medications and supplements inappropriately.
- I exercise excessively.
- I feel compelled to exercise even if I am tired, unwell, injured.
- I binge on food followed by feelings of anxiety, guilt or self-disgust.
- I do not feel able to eat until I have exercised.
- I feel that my body is never quite ‘right’.
- I feel terrified of gaining weight.

If so, come along to EDEN’s Drop-In service located in the University of Auckland Recreation Centre (room off foyer) to have an informal 30-minute chat.

- Consider the next steps.
Look out for the signs in the Recreation Centre foyer. Feel free to bring a support person if you’d like to.
