The following FEAR FACTOR list is a rating scale I use with my recovering anorexic and bulemic clients, who I love dearly. We come up with meal plans using all 1's and 2's to start, and gradually add a 3 once or twice a week. As confidence grows, the variety and "Safe" foods grow which is so wonderful to see...for both of us. Also consider that sometimes some foods may be 1's or 2's but too many together may be too much quantity and not be as "safe", so it'll be a higher number, but only as a meal.
1 Very safe food
Won’t make me fat
I won’t throw this up

2 Safe food most of the time
Most days I don’t think it’ll make me fat
I rarely throw this up
_____________________________________
_____________________________________
3 Somewhat scared (depends on the day)
I may try one of these foods one to two times a week
if I’m feeling strong and courageous
______________________________________
______________________________________
4 I don’t feel comfortable eating anything here but maybe in the future
This is too fattening
I don’t have a good record with keeping this down
______________________________________
______________________________________
5 NO WAY Makes me fat
I can’t stop when I eat this
I throw this up every time.
I don’t see it in the future at all
