Introduction Internalized weight stigma (IWS) is linked to binge eating disorder (BED) symptoms and reduced self-efficacy, yet it unknown how changes in these factors may interrelate. The current study examined cross-sectional and longitudinal associations of BED with IWS and eating self-efficacy among treatment-seeking adults with high body weight. Disinhibited eating was explored as a mediator. Methods

Longitudinal associations between weight stigma and disordered eating across the weight spectrum Eating Behaviors (IF 2.936) Pub Date : 2023-07-25 Riley Keast, Samantha Withnell, Lindsay P. Bodell
Weight stigma reflects discrimination or stereotyping based on weight, and this construct is associated with body dissatisfaction, low self-esteem, and eating pathology. Recent research suggests that internalizing weight stigma (i.e., endorsing negative stereotypes about one's weight) mediates associations between experienced weight stigma and disordered eating. However, much of this research has been

Background Binge-type eating disorders (EDs; i.e., bulimia nervosa, binge eating disorder) are common among young adults with high body weight, yet few interventions target both conditions. This study tested an online guided self-help intervention that provided cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) tools for EDs and behavioral weight loss (BWL) content to young adults with binge-type EDs and high body

Reduction in eating disorder symptoms among adults in different weight loss interventions Eating Behaviors (IF 2.936) Pub Date : 2023-07-24 Kerri N. Boutelle, Ellen K. Pasquale, David R. Strong, Dawn M. Eichen, Carol B. Peterson
Restriction of food intake and counting calories as part of weight loss programs are thought to trigger eating behaviors and attitudes which can lead to eating disorders. We have developed a treatment model, Regulation of Cues (ROC), that targets appetitive traits, including food responsiveness and satiety responsiveness, which could address overeating at an implicit level and reduce risk of detrimental

Testing replicability of the relationship between weight suppression and binge eating in three non-clinical samples varying in lifetime weight history Eating Behaviors (IF 2.936) Pub Date : 2023-07-23 K. Jean Forney, Megan L. Rogers, Charlotte L. Grillot, Gabriella Pucci, Thomas E. Joiner, Pamela K. Keel
Objective Increased weight suppression, the difference between an individual's highest and current weight at present height, predicts binge eating among eating disorder samples. Less is known about this relationship in non-clinical samples of individuals with a history of higher weight. Methods Lifetime highest BMI was tested as a moderator of the relationship between weight suppression and binge eating

An exploration of the association between premorbid weight status on patient and caregiver factors at pre and post-treatment among youth with anorexia nervosa/atypical anorexia nervosa Eating Behaviors (IF 2.936) Pub Date : 2023-07-23 Rachel Kramer, Rachel Radin, Sarah Forsberg, Andrea K. Garber, Erin E. Reilly, Lisa Hail, Kathryn M. Huryk, Jessica Keyser, Lindsey D. Bruett, Daniel Le Grange, Sasha Gorrell, Erin C. Accurso
Patients with atypical anorexia nervosa (AAN) or anorexia nervosa (AN) with premorbid history of higher weight (PHW; median BMI ≥ 85th %ile) may report greater eating disorder (ED) pathology, anxiety, and depression, than patients with premorbid history of lower weight (PLW; mBMI <85th %ile). Less is known about caregiver attitudes or treatment outcome related to premorbid weight history. The current

Ecological momentary assessment of state affect prior to and following loss of control eating in young men Eating Behaviors (IF 2.936) Pub Date : 2023-07-21 Gina Williamson, Elizabeth W. Cotter, Li Cao, Claire Guidinger, Nichole R. Kelly
Objective Loss of control (LOC) eating is prevalent but understudied among young men. Affect regulation models propose that LOC eating functions as a maladaptive effort to escape from distressing affective states. As such, negative affect is thought to increase before and decrease after LOC eating. However, examinations with young men are lacking and it remains unclear whether specific emotional experiences
