The various body shape items generated as a function of the patient's true BMI. The patient's true BMI is 16, so body shapes with a BMI of 17, 16 or 15 are considered to be correct. In contrast, body shapes with a BMI of 11, 12, 20 or 21 are considered to be inaccurate (i.e. BMI -4/-5 and BMI + 4/+ 5)

Iowa Gambling Task Modified; BIGTM), the participant chooses to make financial investments in one of four "body image" companies. In the BIGTM, the four companies (named BUC, JOR, NEP and VAM) replace the four original piles of cards. Based on the patient's BMI, each company generates a body shape item that may or may not represent the participant's own body (see Fig. 1). In general, administration of the BIGTM might enable a person to learn about an appropriate representation of his/her own body. NEP and VAM) offer body shape items that are equivalent or close to the patient's real BMI (BMI + 1 or BMI - 1, randomized between the two companies; for a true BMI of 16, these items respectively correspond to BMI 17 and BMI 15 in Fig. 1). BUC and JOR) offer body shape items that are far from the patient's true BMI (BMI + 4 /+ 5; BMI -4/- 5, randomized between the two companies; for a true BMI of 16, these items respectively correspond to a BMI of 11, 12, 20 and 21 in Fig. 1).
