Do I Have a Problem with Food?


T F  
    I lie about what I eat.
    I feel in control of myself if I restrict the amount of calories, food, and/or fat I eat.
    I spend a lot of time worrying about food and fat.
    I often feel anxious or guilty after I eat a food that is high in fat.
    I go on eating binges and don't stop eating until I feel sick.
    I would rather die than be fat.
    I feel fat even though people tell me I'm thin.
    I believe that being in control of my food shows others that I am in control of my life.
    I have a secret stash of food.
    If I eat something "bad," I compensate by trying to exercise the calories away.
