Do these sound like body dysmorphia symptoms?

Fixation on one or two body parts (mine are my bust waist hip ratios)
Uneasy behavior around food (facial tics, dizziness)
Avoiding situations with food involved (grocery shopping and going out to eat)
Distorted views on body image.

The first and fourth certainly seem that way (imho); the other two, not so much.
