I have forbidden foods that I don’t let myself eat
I try to avoid certain foods high in fat, carbs, sugar, or calories
I get mad at myself for eating something unhealthy
If I crave a certain food, I don’t allow myself to have it
I follow rules that dictate what/when/how much to eat
I eat emotionally (when I’m not hungry but anxious, stressed, sad, bored…)
I sometimes think I don’t deserve / haven’t earned eating or eating a certain food
I often don’t know what I want to eat
I sometimes feel guilty after eating
Oftentimes when I eat, I don’t feel satisfied by what I ate
I don’t trust my body to tell me when to eat
I don’t trust my body to tell me what to eat
I don’t trust my body to tell me how much to eat
I skip meals, even when I’m hungry
I can’t tell when I’m hungry
I can’t tell when I’m comfortably full
Most of the time, I don’t want to eat nutritious foods
I don’t often eat foods that make my body perform well
I don’t often eat foods that give my body energy and stamina
