Eating a large amount of food (while feeling out of control) Made yourself sick (vomited) to control your weight? Used laxatives to control your weight or shape? Exercised to lose or to control your weight? If you have ticked 3 or more statements, you could well have, or be on your way to developing an eating disorder. It may be necessary at this point to explore the possibilites of getting some help for this, if you aren't already. One option is to go and see your local G.P (doctor), or to make some sort of appointment to see someone in the medical profession who would be able to help you, or refer you to see someone.
