Body size estimation, body satisfaction, and feeling fat were assessed before and after meals on two occasions, in a repeated measures design, in 20 normal young women. A consistently negative self‐appraisal was identified, including low satisfaction, feeling fat, and overestimation of body size. Body image was more negative in restrained than unrestrained eaters and became more negative after eating.
