It is possible that you are at a good weight for your body, and should not be trying to lose weight at all, but simply trying to change your habits to more well-rounded, healthful ones. Developing consistent, healthy eating habits that you will be able to maintain for the rest of your life will also help you get to, and keep, an adequate weight for the long run. Although not as glamorous as the diet industry's promises, changing your eating behaviors actually works. You might want to try a group next semester to help you with your eating behaviors, and improve your self-esteem and body image, called Food and Fitness for Thought. If you would like to speak with a nutritionist privately about your food and exercise questions, you can make an appointment by calling Health Services at x4-2284.
All services are free and confidential.
