Eating disorders: bulimia inventory1. Do you binge often? 2. Do you feel your eating behavior is out of control? 3. Do you purge through vomiting, or using laxatives or enemas? 4. Do others in your household complain that you spend too much time in the bathroom? 5. Do you exercise excessively or use diet pills? 6. Are you constantly dieting or weighing yourself? 7. Are you preoccupied with thoughts of food or calories? 8. Do you plan binges or hoard food in anticipation of a binge? 9. Do you eat in secret or mislead others about your food intake? (For example, do you order a salad while eating out, but go on a binge once you are home and alone?) 10. Do you make excuses for the quantity of food you are buying-for example, telling the person behind you at the checkout stand that "company is coming"? 11. Do you spend large amounts of money on food? 12. Have you ever shoplifted food? 13. Are you very angry with yourself when you feel you have eaten too much, even if it is just an extra nibble? 14. Does feeling good about yourself depend on your ability to exert total control over eating or weight? 15. Do you isolate yourself from others if you feel a few pounds overweight? 16. Do you depend a great deal on others for approval? 17. Do you have difficulty asserting yourself even if you know you are right? 18. Are you excessively moody? 19. Are you excessively fatigued? 20. Have you noticed puffiness in your face or swelling in your neck glands? 21. Do you have trouble with your teeth, such as pain or discoloring? 22. Have people around you mentioned they have noticed unusual or offensive odors? 23. Has your weight fluctuated a lot recently? In this inventory there is no arbitrary number of "yes" answers that would indicate the presence of an eating disorder. Instead, you can use it to raise your awareness about the possibility of serious problems. If there is reason for concern, I urge you to see your doctor for a complete evaluation. Don't put it off. The longer an eating disorder persists, the worse it gets. *10/35/5* WEIGHT LOSS «No Prescription Online Pharmacy» |
