A naturalistic examination of feeling fat: Characteristics, predictors, and the relationship with eating disorder behaviors.

Objective: Although literature implicates feeling fat in the maintenance of binge-spectrum eating disorders (EDs; e.g., bulimia nervosa, binge-ED), research in this area is small, nascent, and relies on retrospective self-report.

Differentiating types of dietary restraint and their momentary relations with loss-of-control eating.

Objective: Despite evidence supporting the link between dietary restraint (i.e., attempts at dietary restriction) and loss of control (LOC) eating among individuals with binge-spectrum eating disorders (EDs), some research suggests that dietary restraint may not be linked to LOC eating in all contexts.

Reward mediates the association between engagement in noneating activities and state body dissatisfaction: An ecological momentary assessment study.

Objective: Momentary worsening (i.e., greater than one's average levels) of state body dissatisfaction (BD) has been implicated as a proximal risk factor for eating disorder (ED) behaviors in binge-spectrum EDs.

An examination of daily sleep characteristics and subsequent eating disorder behavior among individuals with binge-spectrum eating disorders.

Introduction: Specific characteristics of sleep (e.g., duration, quality, and fatigue) are positively associated with (ED) behaviors, specifically binge eating (BE) potentially through decreased self-regulation and increased appetite.

Changes in affect from non-eating activity engagement as predictors of loss of control eating: an ecological momentary assessment study.

Purpose: Loss of control eating (LOCE) is supported as a maladaptive regulation strategy for high negative affect (NA) and low positive affect (PA). Yet, little is known about the day-to-day activities outside of eating that may precipitate such changes in affect and impact risk for LOCE. The current ecological momentary assessment study sought to examine whether (1) low NA and high PA at a given survey would prospectively predict lower likelihood of a LOCE episode at the next survey, and (2) having recently engaged in various non-eating activities would be associated with changes in average NA and PA levels at the same survey.
