Negative body image can sometimes lead to the development of an eating disorder. If you think you or someone you know might be suffering from an eating disorder, take this quiz developed by the Center for Eating Disorders at Sheppard Pratt(www.eatingdisorder.org/about_eating_disorders/resources/quiz.php) to help identify if you or someone you know may need help dealing with an eating disorder. It's a good way to start on the road to recovery.

That assessment told me that I have an eating disorder but my doctor and I knew that already. Here's to 2008 and getting better!

Thanks for taking another stab at the quiz. In addition to you, we got some other comments that the quiz was a bit vague, so we revamped it to hopefully be more helpful. A new, revised version is now up-and-running and we'd love for you guys to take it and let us know your feedback(http://www.eatingdisorder.org/about_eating_disorders/resources/quiz.php). Thanks!

Your answers suggest that you may be predisposed to developing an eating disorder.*
Predisposed to me developing an eating disorder eh, well prouably because I'm more in recovery right now so my score isn't as high as it would have been before.

I hope you can gain the weight but sometimes eating disorder clinics can help. It's been nearly a year a year on Jan.30 since I have been out of Inpatient treatment and yes I am still struggling at time but I am doing much better, I am in a normall weight range , though my parents would disagree since I'm 116 lbs and I'm suppost to be 120-125 lbslbs. But I'm in the healthy range Bmi so ya. 4 stones that is incrediably small wow I can't imagine that the lowest I've gotten was 6.8 stones and I was stuck in IP. Take care of yourself because I was told at that weight if I kept that up I wouldn't make it to Christmas, I have mind you and I am doing much better, so be careful hun. Anorexia can kill you. If you need the clinic the go for it it can save your life. Plus if you get to low they will force you in actually I'm suprised they haven't forced you in already at your weight. Though of course I don't know your height so that makes a difference. Sorry if I sound mean but I'm very concerned being a recovering anorexic myself I know what it's like and I also know what it can do to you and I can also say recovery is well worth it.

I weigh 6 stone 4 lbs so I'm slightly worried now. My doctor is too so I have to see her every week just to talk about things and make sure I'm ok. I've been referred back to the mental health team because of my ED and BPD too. xx
