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.
