I TEND TO SNACK:
1. Never
2. When I'm stressed or upset
3. Whenever I feel hungry
4. Vending machines between meals
5. Midmorning or midafternoon
IF I SPLURGE AT A MEAL AND OVERDO IT:
1. I feel terrible all day and skip breakfast the following day
2. I feel guilty
3. I figure it's OK if it was healthy food
4. I probably did it because I skipped a meal

MY DINNER USUALLY CONSISTS OF:
1. Three cheese enchiladas or macaroni and cheese
2. Lean meat and a salad when I'm feeling good, French Fries when I'm stressed
3. Chef's salad, pasta with chicken and parmesan cheese, a whole wheat roll and a cup of frozen yogurt
4. Drive-thru or microwaveable meal
5. Chicken or fish, steamed veggies and wild rice
EATING IS:
1. Something I worry about constantly

OK. Now, if you chose mostly #1's, your relationship with food feels like a roller-coaster. Focus on eating three balanced meals per day.
If you picked mostly 2's, you use food to help you cope. Find alternative ways to deal with stress like Pilates, walking, stretching, playing a game, or shopping at the mall, NOT on line.
If you have mostly 3's, you tend to choose the right kinds of food but have problems with portion control. Practice cutting your original servings in two.
If you scored majority of 4's, you tend to eat fast and on the run. Plan ahead. Pack snacks like fruits, raw veggies, trail mix, grilled chicken, granola bars, and protein bars.
If you checked 5s, you tend to eat well, and have a healthy attitude toward food!
