AB  - (1) Background: Perfectionism has been linked to eating disorders and might be a 
      risk factor for the appearance of eating pathologies. The aims of this study are 
      (a) to verify the relationship between perfectionism, emotional eating (EE), 
      binge eating (BE), and body mass index (BMI); (b) to identify the variables that 
      predict BE symptoms and BMI; (c) to study the role of perfectionism as a mediator 
      between EE and BMI. (2) Methods: 312 adult participants answered a 
      cross-sectional survey that included the Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale, 
      the Emotional Eater Questionnaire (EEQ), the Binge Eating Scale (BES), and a 
      sociodemographic questionnaire including BMI. (3) Results: The results suggest a 
      direct correlation between EE, BE, and BMI, showing that EE is a powerful 
      predictor of BE symptoms and BMI. Furthermore, two dimensions of perfectionism 
      have a mediator role between EE and BMI, specifically doubts and actions and 
      concern over mistakes: the presence of these two components of perfectionism 
      reverses the relationship between EE and BMI. (4) Conclusions: These results have 
      significant implications for the understanding of the two different 
      (pathological) eating patterns: intake restriction and overeating and should be 
      considered in intervention programs.
