This is an observational study — meaning researchers watch and measure what happens rather than testing a new medication. The study asks a simple question: when people with eating disorders do an activity right after eating, does it help lower their anxiety? You would use a mobile app to report how anxious you feel at different times during two weeks of your regular hospital treatment.
Mealtime anxiety is one of the hardest parts of eating disorder recovery. Researchers want to understand whether a simple strategy — doing an activity after meals — might help patients feel calmer and cope better with the distress that eating can bring.

You would spend two weeks in the hospital receiving your regular eating disorder treatment. During that time, you would use a mobile app to report your anxiety and distress levels several times a day. For one of the two weeks, you would try doing an activity right after meals to see if it helps you feel less anxious. It's straightforward and fits into your normal treatment routine.
