What do eating disorder behaviors actually look like? In this Mental Health Minute, Veronica walks through the signs that are easy to miss:
Avoiding food or hiding food
Binge eating in secret
Feeling a lack of control around food
Purging and compulsive exercise
Constant body checking in every mirror
Sudden dieting or an intense fear of gaining weight
Emotional changes count too, like irritability, isolation and depression. Most importantly, eating disorders don’t have one “look.” Many people with an eating disorder don’t look underweight at all. If you notice these behaviors in yourself or someone else, reach out early. It doesn’t need to be a crisis to deserve support.

About Me:
My name is Hong Jeong, licensed therapist, LCSW. I make videos about self-healing and I believe that healing happens within us first and then we can find healing outside. I pull healing concepts from different modalities such as CBT, ACT, DBT, EMDR, IFS, Somatic Experiencing, Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, and many more. My goal is to share various types of healing content and help you cultivate your own healing journey. It’s because there is more than one way to heal your pain.
