Can seeing the scale help teens with eating disorders? new study tests open weighing

This study compares two ways of weighing teens and young adults with eating disorders like anorexia: open weighing (where they see their weight and talk about fears) and blind weighing (where they don't see it). The goal is to see if open weighing reduces anxiety about weight gain, a core symptom that often makes treatment harder. About 70 participants in a partial hospital program will be randomly assigned to one method, and researchers will track changes in eating disorder symptoms, fear of food, and body image over time.
