Discussion: Confronting Eating Disorders – 15 Points
This discussion is on confronting eating disorders. First you need to assess if you have eating disorder tendencies. Take the Friends of Choices Self-Test. The best way to complete the test is to print it out and then mark “true” of “false” by the statements. Include answers to the following questions in your discussion/reflection activity.
- What was your overall reaction to the statements on the Self Test?
- What were some statements that you didn’t think were risks for an eating disorder, that really are risk behaviors?
- Describe if you or anyone else that you know ever had or are currently struggling with an eating disorder?
- Who is (or was) responsible for intervention and how did they do it?
- How would you approach a friend or family member who you suspected has an undiagnosed eating disorder?
