Dr. Heidi Fowler answered

Specializes in Psychiatry

Help: If loosing weight, calorie counting, disatisfaction with your body and such have become too much of a focus in your life- you might consider therapy. Unfortunately eating disorders and body dysmorphic disorder are all too common problems in our society. Take care.
