ABSTRACT
Do you wonder if you might have an eating disorder, or if you could be on your way to developing one? Ask yourself these questions…
• Do you constantly calculate the fat grams and calories you’ve eaten? • Do you weigh yourself often and find you are obsessed with the number on
the scale? • Do you exercise because you feel like you have to, not because you want to? • Do you avoid eating meals or snacks when you’re around other people? • Do you ever feel out of control when you’re eating? • Are you afraid of gaining weight? • Do your eating patterns include extreme dieting, strong preferences for certain
foods, withdrawn or ritualized behavior at mealtime, or secretive bingeing? • Has weight loss, dieting, and/or control of food become one of your major
concerns? • Do you feel ashamed, disgusted, or guilty after eating? • Do you spend a significant amount of time worrying about the weight, shape,
or size of your body? • Do you use diet pills, herbal supplements, laxatives, or vomiting as a way to
control your weight? • Do you feel like your identity and value as a person is based on how you look
or how much you weigh?
