Introduction: Eating disorders are defined as psychosomatic illnesses resulting from a conflicting relationship of the individual with the food. Objective: the study aimed to investigate the eating behavior and to evaluate the perception and satisfaction with the body image of mothers of patients with eating disorders. Methodology: It is a quantitative research carried out in a specialized service in the interior of São Paulo. The methods used were a 24-hour Reminder, the "How is your diet" test, the EAT- 26 and the Silhouetted Figures Scale. Thirteen mothers participated in study, out of the 18 patients attended by the program. Results: the EAT-26 was negative, with 17.23 points, the How-to-eat test showed an average of 38.85 points. Discussion: Regarding body image, mothers' dissatisfaction was noted. The study concludes that mothers are dissatisfied with body image, although they do not present eating behaviors similar to the habits of patients with the disorder. Conclusion: Few studies have been conducted evaluating the eating behavior of patient’s mother with eating disorders, so it is necessary to carry out more research involving this aspect. Family participation in treatment is necessary to achieve success.
