If you believe you are having trouble with your attitude about and behavior with food, why not speak to a counselor about it. You would not be alone. Approximately 8% of the students who are seen in the Counseling Center report having difficulty with "disordered eating." The Counseling Center library has paperbacks and videos for additional information or check out the online Virtual Pamphlets.
