Are You An Emotional Eater

I eat to make myself feel good, warm, or to avoid facing up to or dealing with a problem so I am your typical emotional eater.

If you identify with this then try this fascinating psychology site.  I have just completed the emotional eating questionnaire.

OK Let me be up front with you here....there are 149 questions and it requires ABSOLUTE HONESTY to get a decent result.

This was the short result I got at the end.

Snapshot Report

Health Locus of Control

100

You feel strongly that how you behave now can have an impact on your health in both the short and long-term. While your genes predetermine some aspects of health and some illnesses can strike randomly and without cause, you realize that many short-term and even long-term illnesses can be prevented. You don't consider yourself as a victim of your circumstances, and know that you can control your eating habits or the precursors that lead to emotional eating.

You can obtain the full report for $6.95 (about £4.50).

If you think this insight will assist you to lose weight it is not a huge amount to pay.

I have just looked at some of the rest of this site......... A M A Z I N G

ACCIDENT - PRONE (NESS) TEST
SENSITIVITY TO CRITICISM TEST
STORE MANAGER TEST
ARGUMENT STYLE TEST - you are going to be doing a lot of arguing with yourself whilst you are learning new eating behaviours so this could be verrrry helpful.

So......psychology today is worth a visit.  Never mind the tests, there are loads of articles, you are gonna be on this computer (on this site!) for a good couple of hours.
