"Success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has
reached in life as by the obstacles which he has overcome."
Booker T. Washington
DID YOU KNOW. . .
..."emotional eating" to manage uncomfortable emotions --
- may create or increase emotional distress, becoming
a vicious cycle, causing more emotional eating.
...compulsive overeating, or "food addiction" --
- is not resolved by surgery. Emotions and behaviors
need to be addressed for gastric bypass surgery to be successful.
...eating disorders, such as anorexia --
- can occur together with OCD, or
obsessive-compulsive disorder, often.
- occur frequently with alcohol abuse.
When there are two co-existing problems, or "dual
diagnosis," it is essential to treat both problems. At Possibility
Counseling, your care will be closely coordinated with your doctor and
other healthcare providers.
"I dwell in possibility."
-- Emily Dickinson
