This will be measured by asking patients to complete a measure of their behaviour before and after the 10-week program. Secondary outcomes encompass change in appearance overvaluation, disordered eating (excluding binging), and impulsivity; these variables are evaluated using Beliefs About Appearance Scale, Eating disorder Examination Questionnaire, UPPS-P Impulsive Behavior Scale respectively with responses scored on Likert or numeric scales ranging from 0 - 6 depending on the questionnaire."
