. The 20 Questions

Are you a food addict?
.
To answer this question, ask yourself the following questions and answer them as honestly as you can.

1. Have you ever wanted to stop eating and found you just couldn't?

2. Do you think about food or your weight constantly?

3. Do you find yourself attempting one diet or food plan after another, with no lasting success?

4. Do you binge and then "get rid of the binge" through vomiting, exercise, laxatives, or other forms of purging?

5. Do you eat differently in private than you do in front of other people?

6. Has a doctor or family member ever approached you with concern about your eating habits or weight?

7. Do you eat large quantities of food at one time (binge)?

8. Is your weight problem due to your "nibbling" all day long?

9. Do you eat to escape from your feelings?

10. Do you eat when you're not hungry?

11. Have you ever discarded food, only to retrieve and eat it later?

12. Do you eat in secret?

13. Do you fast or severely restrict your food intake?

14. Have you ever stolen other people's food?

15. Have you ever hidden food to make sure you have "enough?"

16. Do you feel driven to exercise excessively to control your weight?

17. Do you obsessively calculate the calories you've burned against the calories you've eaten?

18. Do you frequently feel guilty or ashamed about what you've eaten?

19. Are you waiting for your life to begin "when you lose the weight?"

20. Do you feel hopeless about your relationship with food?

If you answered yes to any of the above questions, then you may be a food addict. You are not alone. FA offers hope through a real solution to food addiction. These questions are copyright © 2000-2003 Food Addicts in Recovery Anonymous

. Here is a success story

I used to be fat and crazy, now I'm not! At 5'3'', I came into FA weighing
287 lbs. and wearing a tight size 22-24. My knees and feet hurt, I had
shortness of breath and borderline high blood pressure. I was only 38 but
felt 83. Now I'm 135 lbs., a size 6 or 4, and in perfect health. I'm in the
"fabulous forties" and feel younger and more energetic every day. The best
part is that the mental obsessions with "What do I eat?", "Where can I get
it?", "Who might see me?", and "How can I get more?" are all over! A Higher
Power controls my life now - NOT FOOD. -- Jennifer H. (Charlotte)
