Read the specific descriptions without a health label.
A complete original guide to this part of eating and body-related experience, with category records, uncertainties and independent support.
Choose whether each original statement describes your past four weeks, partly describes them or does not describe them. Cannot judge, no relevant experience and prefer not to answer remain separate. The twenty choices form five records of four statements. Six category counts in each record add to four, with the original statements and selected labels retained. Labels have no points, and counts are neither symptoms nor severity or frequency. There is no total, mean, cutoff, health tier or eating-disorder result.
Attention and daily life are the subject
These four prompts describe food thoughts interrupting another activity, worry before an eating occasion, returning to an earlier occasion and difficulty joining a shared activity because of food or body concerns. They record your own account of occupied attention. They do not measure the time taken, identify a disorder or tell why a thought returned.
Planning and preoccupation are not interchangeable
Thinking about shopping, a cultural occasion, an allergy or a practical meal arrangement can have many meanings. Such planning does not automatically fit a sentence about unwanted interruption or worry. Answer the wording rather than a general opinion about food. The form cannot decide whether a responsibility, preference or concern explains the experience.
A difficult moment is not a fixed identity
A fitting statement describes a recollection over four weeks, not a permanent identity or a forecast of future eating. A partly fitting answer can preserve an exception, and a non-fitting answer cannot guarantee that another concern is absent. No comparison with other people or a normal range is supplied. Different selections remain different descriptions.
No diary or monitoring is required
The exercise does not ask you to count thoughts, inspect meals, track weight or monitor an eating event. You can use a broad existing recollection or select cannot judge. Repeating the form more often is not a treatment task and does not demonstrate progress. Public readings stay free whether you complete all choices or none.
Choose how much of the topic to carry forward
You may finish after reading, keep a concern private or choose an appropriate professional conversation. You do not need to reconstruct every thought or provide the website with a narrative. Seeking support is not conditional on this record and does not require a particular body shape, diagnosis or pattern across the other four topics.
How the record works
Choose whether each original statement describes your past four weeks, partly describes them or does not describe them. Cannot judge, no relevant experience and prefer not to answer remain separate. The twenty choices form five records of four statements. Six category counts in each record add to four, with the original statements and selected labels retained. Labels have no points, and counts are neither symptoms nor severity or frequency. There is no total, mean, cutoff, health tier or eating-disorder result.
Origin, limits and independent support
- FermatMind authored these twenty statements and five complete readings. They are not EAT-26, SCOFF, a diagnostic checklist or a validated translation of another instrument. Reliability, validity, norms and English–Chinese equivalence have not been established. The record cannot assess nutrition, weight, medical stability or an eating disorder. A low count cannot establish health, and a fitting answer cannot establish a condition. The public health source supplies background, not an item bank or endorsement.
- If eating or body concerns trouble you, you can seek support from a qualified health professional without finishing this form, a particular count or a particular appearance. This exercise prescribes no restriction, compensation, body checking, weighing, food diary or change to food or activity. It cannot decide urgency or explain physical symptoms. For immediate danger or severe current symptoms, seek local emergency medical help rather than continue the questionnaire.
