This series of questions may help you determine if you are a compulsive overeater.
- Do you eat when you're not hungry?
- Do you go on eating binges for no apparent reason?
- Do you have feelings of guilt and remorse after overeating?
- Do you give too much time and thought to food?
- Do you look forward with pleasure and anticipation to the time when you can eat alone?
- Do you plan these secret binges ahead of time?
- Do you eat sensibly before others and make up for it alone?
- Do you hide your food?
- Have you tried to diet for a week (or longer), only to fall short of your goal?
- Do you resent others telling you to "use a little willpower" to stop overeating?
- Despite evidence to the contrary, have you continued to assert that you can diet "on your own" whenever you wish?
- Do you crave to eat at a definite time, day or night, other than meal time?
- Do you eat to escape from worries or trouble?
- Have you ever been treated for obesity or a food-related condition?
- Does your eating behavior make you or others unhappy?
- Is your weight affecting your health?

- Do you crave specific types of food products, such as wheat, milk, flour, rice?
