Use the questions below as a self-reflective guide. Do you… feel intense fear of gaining weight? feel that you lack control over food or when you’re eating? experience anxiety if you cannot control food in your environment? feel that your weight or shape is a defining factor in how you think about yourself? compensate for food you have eaten by exercising or other means?
