A note about eating
Body image concerns are something I work with. If you're struggling with an eating disorder, such as restricting, bingeing or purging, a specialized team is the best place to start. Talk to your family doctor or call Nova Scotia's Mental Health and Addictions Intake at 1-855-922-1122.
