Tuesday-20/12/11-Triumphant Tuesday-Rachel-Body Checking as a Behaviour

Today I have looked at the topic of body checking.
This might seem like an odd behaviour to explore, yet it is something everyone with an Eating Disorder will have experienced.
Body checking behaviours include excessive weighing, measuring body parts, trying on clothes compulsively, but also avoidance behaviours such as not looking in mirrors, avoiding clothes shopping and many more.
This is a fascinating topic (and hopefully video) as it is yet another behaviour that adds to the complexity of Eating Disorders.
