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.
Purpose and an action remain distinct
These four statements concern changing later eating, changing activity, doing something uncomfortable to counteract eating and feeling bound by a rule to make up for it. They retain broad descriptions of intention and action without naming or instructing a technique. The form does not determine medical effects or whether a behaviour meets a clinical definition of compensation.
The reason in the sentence is not assumed from an activity
An activity, rest period or change of schedule is not automatically an attempt to undo eating. The described intention matters, and this page cannot infer it from an outside observation. Even when the wording fits, the record supplies no account of what happened or how often. You may decline to describe it without being assigned a conclusion.
No behaviour is prescribed or compared
The record does not recommend a way to compensate, choose between methods, set targets or explain how a behaviour works. It gives no instruction to continue, intensify or test an action. No result turns eating into something that must be earned or undone. Real concerns about an action or its physical effects need appropriate individual support.
Counts do not measure medical seriousness
One fitting statement may concern something important, while several partly fitting statements may involve different uncertainties. Their counts cannot order those experiences or decide which one needs attention first. Unknown or withheld answers are not a clearance. You can raise a concern without meeting a count or describing every other theme.
You can stop without an explanation
If this topic feels uncomfortable, choose prefer not to answer or end the exercise. There is no requirement to look up a behaviour, recall more detail, try a substitute or disclose what happened. A professional conversation can start with a general concern about wanting to undo eating; this website does not collect that conversation or decide its outcome.
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.
