If you’re constantly thinking about or controlling what you eat, or feel compelled to make yourself sick, you may be suffering from an eating disorder. These are common and can affect anyone; many well-known people have talked about their eating problems. The important thing to remember is that help is available, and you don’t have to suffer alone.
