A. What to do?

adverbial clauses, phrasal verbs, idioms, future perfect and other functions
practiced during this learning activity.
B. How to do it?
Food has been described as ambrosia and the elixir of life. For some, eating is a
biological necessity while for others it is a passion that can turn into an
obsession. Experts define food addiction to be a disorder where the addict is
preoccupied with food, the availability of food, and the pleasure of eating. There
are three recognized food addictions:
Anorexia Nervosa: Anorexics fear weight gain and, thus, starve themselves.
Typically, anorexics are obsessed with weight gain and body shape and, like
bulimics, exhibit obsessive behaviours to achieve a particular body image.
Their notions of the perfect body and often distorted sense of their own bodies
make this disorder as much psychological as it is the menstrual cycle, hair
loss, unhealthy skin pallor, and dehydration.
Here are some signs that you or someone you know may have one of the
aforementioned food-related pathologies.
Even if you have a doubt that you may be a food addict, you should seek help.
Nip the problem in the bud before it grows into something unmanageable and
serious. You must consult a nutritionist, doctor, psychologist, an eating
addiction center or specialist. There are programs run by groups like
Overeaters Anonymous that run 12-step programs which are extremely
beneficial.1
