This test covers eating, appetite, rules, control, guilt, shame, relief, avoidance, physical activity, checking, the body, appearance, comparison, rumination and readiness to change. What the test asks, for example Eating If you deliberately skip meals to control your weight. If you eat at regular times, without trying to delay or skip your meals. Appetite If you keep eating even when you're no longer hungry. If you stay tuned in to your hunger and fullness, and you stop when you're no longer hungry. Rules If you have a list of 'forbidden' foods that you refuse to eat. If you allow yourself to eat what you enjoy, without imposing strict rules on yourself. Control If you feel a loss of control while eating, as if you couldn't stop. If you eat at a pace and in amounts that suit you. Guilt If you count calories obsessively. If you eat a normal meal without guilt. Shame If you eat in secret to avoid being seen by others. If a larger meal than planned leaves you neither shame nor disgust. Relief If you eat to manage your emotions (stress, sadness, boredom, anger). If, after a difficult day, you find comfort somewhere other than food. Avoidance If you avoid restaurants or dinner invitations for fear of not being able to control what you eat. If you refuse to eat with others for fear of losing control. Physical activity If you exercise excessively mainly to burn calories. If exercise remains a pleasure and a moment of well-being for you, not an obligation tied to what you've eaten. Checking If you weigh yourself frequently (several times a week or a day). If your mood does not depend on what the scale shows. The body If you regularly check certain parts of your body (stomach, thighs, arms) by pinching or measuring them. If overall, you feel at peace with your body just as it is today. Appearance If you choose your clothes mainly to hide your body. If you welcome compliments about your appearance with ease, without brushing them off. Comparison If you perceive yourself as bigger than others tell you you are. If you look at your body without comparing it to other people's. Rumination If your physical appearance is a constant preoccupation in your mind. If food takes up an obsessive place in your daily thoughts. Readiness to change If your relationship with food has a real impact on your life and health. If you believe you are capable of growing in this area.
