examples of the types of calls and drop-ins echo might receive: "How I feel about myself depends almost entirely upon how I feel about how I look." "I can't go a day without exercising." "Midterms are coming up and I'm so stressed..." "I'm really concerned about gaining the freshman fifteen and what everyone will think." "My roommate is getting extremely thin. I'm worried." "I ate the whole box of cookies. I just couldn't stop." "I feel fat." "The race is in a week; I'm only doing this because I have to lose weight for the big day." "Food is my only dependable source of satisfaction." "My boyfriend made a comment about my weight." "I don't even know what a normal diet is anymore." "Bingeing gives me a sense of security." "My friend is extremely concerned about her appearance. I don't know what to say." "Food has become an obsession. I'm losing control over my life and I feel scared and helpless."
"I just want to learn more about echo and eating concerns."
