“For
some of us, the battle to attain a certain shape or size becomes an
obsession,” says Judy
Gifford, Director of FindingStone Counseling Center.
“The focus on food, dieting and exercise goes way beyond
what is normal or healthy and leads to dangerous health effects and
psychological pain. But
there are ways to call a truce.”
Helping
people gain control of this internal battle is the motivation for FindingStone's
participation in the National Eating Disorders Screening Program, a
national outreach taking place February 14-18 across the country.
FindingStone Counseling
Center is offering free, anonymous education and screenings for
eating disorders on Friday,
March
24, 2000 from 9:00am -
7:00pm at 4450 North 12th
Street, Phoenix, AZ Local residents will be able to take a
