Interview questions asked to obtain phenotype measures

Intentional Weight Loss	Overeating
Did you ever lose a lot of weight on purpose, or, while you were growing up, did you keep your weight down on purpose?	Were you ever greatly concerned about eating too much, looking too fat, or gaining too much weight?
Did you ever feel fat, even though your family and friends were very concerned that you had become much too thin?	Has there ever been a time in your life when you went on eating binges – eating a large amount of food in a short period of time (usually less than 2 hours)?
After purposely losing a lot of weight, what is the lowest weight you ever dropped to? Did friends say you were to thin or skeleton like?	Did you go on eating binges as often as twice a week?
How tall were you at the time? How old were you?	During these binges were you afraid that you could not stop eating, or that your eating was out of control?
Were you intensely afraid of gaining weight or becoming fat? While you were losing weight did your period stop for 3 cycles or more (when you were not pregnant)?	Did you do anything to prevent weight gain from binge eating, such as making yourself vomit, taking laxatives or diuretics, dieting strictly, fasting, exercising vigorously, or anything else?
