List of measures used in the current study

Scales used	Included global score/subscales, scale interpretations, and range of possible scores
Perception of Teasing Scale (POTS) [19]	General Weight Teasing Subscale. Items were modified to ask of current adulthood perceptions of teasing, not those of childhood as in the original scale. HS = frequent perceptions of teasing, 0–5
Weight Bias Internalisation Scale Modified (WBIS-11) [20]	Global score, HS = high internalised weight stigma, 1–7
Eating Disorder Examination Questionnaire (EDE-Q) [21, 22]	Global score and subscales on restraint, eating concern, weight concern, and shape concern. HS = high levels of disordered eating, 0–6
Dutch Eating Behaviour Questionnaire (DEBQ) [23]	Three subscales measuring restrained, emotional, and external eating. HS = high levels of disordered eating, 1–5
Three-Factor Eating Questionnaire (TFEQ) [24]	Three subscales measuring restrained eating, disinhibition, and perceived hunger. HS = high levels of disordered eating, 0–21/16/15, respectively
Clinical Impairment Assessment (CIA) [25]	Global score, HS = high levels of psychosocial impairment from disordered eating, 0–48
The Questionnaire on Eating and Weight Patterns (QEWP) [26]	Global score, HS = high levels of disordered eating, 13–58
Weight Efficacy Lifestyle Questionnaire (WEL) [27]	Five situational subscales: negative emotions, availability, social pressure, physical discomfort, and positive activities. HS = high self-efficacy in dietary restraint, 0–9
Exercise-Avoidance Motivation Scale (EAMS) [28]	Global score, HS = high levels of exercise avoidance, 1–7
Assessment of Quality of Life (AQoL) [29]	Two superdimensions of physical health (pain, senses, independent living) and mental health (happiness, mental health, coping, relationships, self-worth). HS = good/better QoL, 0–1
Impact of Weight on Quality of Life-Lite (IWQOL-Lite) [30]	Five subscales: physical function, self-esteem, sexual life, public distress, and work. HS = poor QoL, where weight negatively impacts QoL, 4–55, subscale dependent; 31–155 total score
The Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale (GAD-7) [31]	Global score, HS = high levels of anxiety, 0–21
Depression Anxiety Stress Scales (DASS-21) [32]	Three subscales: depression, anxiety, and stress. HS = high levels of distress, 0–42
Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ) [33]	HS = high levels of depressive symptoms, 0–27
Tolerance of Mood States Scale (TOMS) – Scale 2 [34]	From the recommendations in the scale development paper, we only assessed data from Scale 2 (explained in the Supplementary Material): maladaptive responses (general and eating) to intense moods. HS = more likely to respond to negative moods in a maladaptive way
Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSE) [35]	Global score, HS = high self-esteem, 0–30
The Multidimensional Body-Self Relations Questionnaire (MBSRQ) [36]	Ten subscales: appearance evaluation, appearance orientation, fitness evaluation, fitness orientation, health evaluation, health orientation, illness orientation, body areas satisfaction, overweight preoccupation, self-classified overweight. HS = see Table 5, 1–5
Brief Pain Inventory (BPI) [37]	Two subscales: the severity of pain and how pain interferes with daily life. HS = high levels of pain, 0–10

Note. HS high score on this scale indicates. A different research team selected all of these measures. We are simply reporting on data that has been already collected; thus, we have no rationale for why specific measures were used instead of others. For the POTS, we also computed the extent to which teasing upset the individual, where HS = teasing negatively affected the individual. Findings from this subscale of the POTS can be found in the Supplementary Material (Tables S4–S6)
