Summary:

Krista describes a high degree of anxiety related to her weight, causing her social relationships with her family and friends to suffer. She spends most days working out and trying to control her weight. She keeps track of both her weight and BMI, setting a target BMI she wants to achieve. She has experienced rapid fluctuations of both gains and losses of weight, due to her binging and purging. She reports that the binges were often associated with feelings of anger and shame directed at herself, as well as when she felt blame toward other people. She currently claims to have stopped purging, and instead controls her weight by limiting her diet, exercising, and using laxatives. As the interview progresses, Krista appears to recognize her problems with eating and weight-controlling habits, expressing thoughts that her life is not worth living. She reports that she would like to seek help, but is unsure what to do.
