Abstract

Do I weigh myself often and find I am obsessed with the number on the scale? Do I exercise just to burn calories and not for health and enjoyment? Do I ever feel out of control when eating? Do my eating patterns include extreme dieting, preferences for certain foods, withdrawn or ritualized behavior at mealtime or secretive bingeing? Have weight loss, dieting, and or control of food become one of my major concerns? Do I feel ashamed, disgusted or guilty after eating? Do I constantly worry about the weight, shape or size of my body? Do I feel like my identity and value is based on how I look or how much I weigh?
