Eating Disorder & Body Image Assessment

This assessment does not provide a diagnosis. It’s a brief check-in designed to help you reflect on patterns and consider whether extra support might be helpful.

Adults & Teens (Self-Assessment)

Answer Yes or No to each question.

1. Do thoughts about food, weight, or body shape take up a lot of space in your day?

2. Do you feel anxious, guilty, or ashamed after eating certain foods or amounts?

3. Do you skip meals, delay eating, or limit portions to feel more in control?

4. Does your mood for the day depend on what you ate, how you exercised, or what the scale says?

5. Have food or exercise routines started to interfere with school, work, relationships, or social plans?

6. Do you feel distressed when you can’t follow your usual food or exercise rules?

7. Do you eat in secret, hide food, or try to hide your eating from others?

8. Do you compare your body to others in a way that leaves you feeling like you are not good enough or needing to change?

9. Do you use exercise to make up for eating or to manage uncomfortable emotions?

10. If nothing changed about your eating or body for the next year, would you feel distressed?
