"Willpower alone does not work,
.....because it’s a disease."
Millions of Americans suffer from an eating disorder. Their lives are controlled by food. Gaining or losing weight becomes the focus of their existence. They often feel guilty, isolated, depressed and ashamed. They may be compulsively overeating, binge purging, or starving themselves. All of them have one thing in common - they are suffering from an eating disorder which can be fatal if left untreated. With professional support, lifelong recovery and freedom from an eating disorder can be achieved. The key to recovery is to understand the cause of the self-destructive behavior and to acquire the tools to facilitate the necessary changes.
We believe that the eating disorder has acted as a survival mechanism to help the individual cope with their life. For this reason, we not only address the mistaken beliefs but also teach each individual new coping techniques to handle life's situations.
