Most people with an eating disorder (ED) do not receive good treatment. The investigators have developed a new brief group treatment that is supposed to work by reducing how much women with an ED value the impossible thinness standard promoted by the media and how much they value/crave binge foods. The investigators want to test whether the treatment actually changes those two mechanisms using brain scan data, which is more objective than completing questionnaires and even interviews. In the first phase of the study (R61), the investigators will compare women in the treatment versus those on a wait-list. If the investigators can show that the treatment "works" (does what the investigators think it does) compared to no active treatment (women will be allowed to seek and receive outside help but investigators will not provide it until after the wait-list), investigators will conduct the second phase of study (R33),where they will randomly assign women with an ED to either the new treatment or to a group treatment that represents what many college mental health clinics provide to their clients with ED.
The purpose of this study is to assess the effectiveness of two body acceptance programs for women. Participants may experience reduction of eating pathology and prevention of future obesity and eating disorders; may derive a sense of altruism and contribution to furthering understanding of a public health problem.

Inclusion Criteria: aged 21 and older, BMI>=25, and presence of recurrent binge eating on the MOVE! Survey. Exclusion Criteria: more than 4 MOVE! sessions in the prior year; active psychosis or suicidal ideation; medical or psychiatric illness, or cognitive deficits that interfere with providing consent or completing assessments, and; pregnancy or lactation. Participants will be recruited from the VA's MOVE! Program at VA Connecticut Healthcare System (both Newington and West Haven campuses). Those participants who meet eligibility and are interested in the study will meet with a research associate who will obtain written consent. A baseline appointment will be made where the participant will complete written assessments, anthropometric measures (weight, height, blood pressure etc.), along with a blood draw. Participants will then be randomized, by luck of a draw, to either MOVE! or MOVE!+clinician-led CBT treatment. For those randomized to the MOVE! condition, participants will continue in the MOVE! program by meeting with the multidisciplinary team in a group setting once a week for 60 minutes, for 16 weeks. The group sessions are lead by a dietician, health psychologist, and physical therapist. For those randomized to the MOVE!+CBT treatments, participants will continue in the MOVE! program as described above, but will also partake in up to 10 individualized sessions over a 3-month period. Participants will be given a treatment manual to read at home, ask to complete daily food logs and work with the study therapist to create goals and complete homework that is geared at examining and changing how participant think about binge eating and how that thinking affects behavior. Lastly, a walking program will also be incorporated into the treatment. For both treatment arms, 3 months from treatment starting, then again at 9 months and 15 months, participants will be asked to complete post and follow up assessments, much like the baseline.
The PROLED study is a prospective and longitudinal study of patients with Eating Disorders. Annual interviews and collection of biological samples are done, as well as during changes in disease course e.g. during hospitalization. Included are qualitative interviews, psychometric tests, questionnaires which are used to collect data on psychopathology. There is also collection of blood, urine and faeces.
