Abstract
This study examines the extent to which self-disgust explains the association between eating disorder (ED) diagnosis and fear of fat. Data from a community sample of females with an ED and healthy controls were analyzed and the findings showed self-disgust uniquely mediated the association between ED and fear of fat.
