Do you feel out of control when you are eating?
Do you think you have problems with binge
eating or bulimia?
A short-term treatment program is now being formed at the
TAMU Psychology Clinic to help with these problems. This will
be an affordable and scientifically supported treatment that will
address: gaining control over binge eating/vomiting, reducing
weight and shape concerns, building self-esteem, and developing
healthy eating patterns.
