I mean, being 13 months postop means I have spent a year focusing on this physical self. I found that I had trouble answering the questions re: now, today, rather than re: a year ago. I saved it and will go back in 6 months or so to see how I do after more time has elapsed. Thanks, Dawn, for posting the link. Interesting. I would have liked more reflection on the meanings of the ratings, though. hugs, Ann Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What does it mean to have a high, or very high, or extremely high score? What are you at risk for? I mean, I know I have a goofed-up body image; who wouldn't after what we've been through. But what does that mean, what can one do about it, etc., etc. These things are interesting but they also drive me nuts. hugs, Ann Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 11, 2000 Report Share Posted October 11, 2000 I agree with Carol. Mine was a 34--- but that's because I have lost 143 pounds and have a frrm tummy secondary to an abdominoplasty. It would have been in the 90s otherwise!

My question is: The lower the number, the lower the self-esteem? the higher the number, the higher the self-esteem? Or vice-versa? Well, Carol, I always thought we were a lot alike!

Guest guest Posted October 11, 2000 Report Share Posted October 11, 2000 My score was a 74. It sort of feels like there is supposed to be some more pages to explain what we are at high risk for. Did anyone else get that feeling? Dawn, thanks for sharing this test. It is interesting to see conformation of what we already knew. By the way, have any of the guys taken the test? If so, what are your results???? Blessings! Renonna ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 12, 2000 Report Share Posted October 12, 2000 I got a 25, now if the test had asked how I felt about myself during bathing suit season, I am sure my score would have been different and yea wasn't there supposed to be more pages to explain what the score meant?????
