Why Am I Overeating Quiz

Example Questions From the Test

• 1After a tense conversation, you pass through the kitchen. Which response is most like yours?

  • I often start eating and realize midway that the argument, not hunger, prompted it.
  • I commonly keep eating until I feel overly full because stopping brings the tension back.
• 2When food comes in a large package or oversized serving, how does that affect you?
  • Package or serving size rarely changes the amount I decide to eat.
  • I may eat somewhat more because it is there, but I usually notice the effect.
  • I often use the package or plate as the stopping point rather than my satisfaction.
  • I commonly continue until most or all is gone despite noticing physical fullness.
