This study, as a type of multiple baseline design, was carried out in two phases (losing weight and keeping weight) on four female high school students afflicted with obesity. Before the treatment sessions started, special tools such as evolutionary checking list and eating disorder questionnaire were used. At the beginning of each treatment session, sick people were weighed and their data were shown through data visual analysis, charting and calculation of the recovery rate.

All participants then completed three factor eating questionnaire (TFEQ) and social physique anxiety (SPA) scale in one session. Also their Weight and BMI were measured by body composition instrument. Following the data collection, data analysis by ANOVA revealed that the BMI and eating behaviors have significant differences in different levels of SPA.

Abstract
| This study investigated the comparison of abuse experiences and mindful eating in women with high body mass index with and without binge eating disorder and women with normal weight. This study was descriptive with comparative design. The study population consisted of women referring to two nutrition counseling centers in Rasht in 1400. The sample consisted of 179 women who were selected by purposive sampling method. Data were collected using Stice's Eating Disorder Diagnostic Scale (2000), Bernstein's Childhood Trauma Questionnaire (2003), and Framson's Mindful Eating Questionnaire (2009). Results of univariate and multivariate analysis of covariance showed that the abuse experiences in overweight and obese women with binge eating disorder were higher than overweight and obese women without the disorder and in both groups were more than normal weight women. Women in the binge eating group had lower scores in mindful eating than women without the disorder, and both groups had lower scores than normal-weight women, even when controlling for age. According to the findings, abuse experiences and mindful eating have important role in the pathology of obesity, overweight and binge eating disorder. Designing educational/therapeutic programs aimed at reducing the psychological consequences of abuse and teaching mindful eating techniques can be helpful. |
