Hello. I am a researcher (and former ED sufferer) participating in a study of the causes of anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa. I have a short survey that is being distributed across the Web in hopes of finding answers and raising ED awareness and prevention. (I read through the guidelines and did not find anything regarding research, but if this is against the rules, feel free to delete this post.) I want to make it 100% clear that I am not profiting off anything regarding this research, and I need nothing personal, except for age and gender (for statistics purposes, so feel free not to release either). Your input is greatly appreciated!

Age:

Gender:

Describe your feelings towards anorexia/bulimia (lifestyle choice, disease, etc.):



What were/are you trying to achieve through anorexia/bulimia (weight loss, gaining control, pleasing others, etc.):



Are you ever content with yourself (if so, what do you like about yourself):


If not, what would make you content with yourself:



How often do you think about your own weight?


How often do you think about the weight of others (family, friends, peers)?


How often do you think about celebrity/model weight?

If there was not so much emphasis on celebrity thinness, do you believe that you would still feel the way you do?


When did you begin anorexia/bulimia and what “drove” you towards it?


How long were/have you been anorexic/bulimic?

What caused you to stop (if applicable)?

Will you ever stop (if applicable)?


Did/does athletics play a role in having anorexia/bulimia:


What/who inspired/inspires you to continue anorexia/bulimia:


On a scale of 1-10 (1 being not at all, 10 being absolute), how in control did/does having anorexia/bulimia make you feel?


Thank you all so much!
