Is This Book For Me?

Read the following statements and see how many sound familiar to you:

I often feel like food is the only thing that I can control in my life.

I think that people are lying when they say I look fine. I know I need to lose weight.

I never tell the truth about what I’ve eaten or not eaten when people ask me.

I believe that I can’t eat because I’ll get fat.

I figured that if I stopped eating, I would at least be in control of something. Now that I’ve stopped eating, I can’t start again.

I constantly compare my body to others. I wonder whether my thighs are fatter than hers.

When I look in the mirror or weigh myself I am happy to see that I’ve lost weight even if others think I’m too thin.

My looks are the only thing I have. Everyone knows that if you aren’t pretty and thin, no one will like you.

You might be questioning whether or not you have an eating disorder. That’s probably why you chose to take this quiz. If you suspect that you are suffering from a food-related or

body image problem, most likely, you will have related to two or more statements in the quiz you have just taken. If this is the case, you will be comforted by the fact that many other girls or women just like you reported the same feelings. Some people’s reactions cause them to be afraid, while others are anxious or in a great deal of pain. This is not unusual. You are not alone. In this workbook you can work out your feelings in a series of drawing and writing exercises that will enlighten you and help you to begin your road to recovery!

I’m not just a body...
