10 Questions to see if you may have a food addiction

If you feel that you may be suffering from a food addiction, there are a few questions to ask yourself:

1) Do you always feel hungry even though you know you just ate not too long ago?

2) Do you race through your food with thoughts about the next thing you can eat?

3) Is a good part of your day consumed with thoughts about the day’s meals?

4) Do you eat your groceries (a good part of the time) before you can get them home from the store?

5) If you drive past a fast-food eatery, are you able to have the will power to not pull in, even though the smell is tempting?

6) When there are leftovers, do you put them away for later, or are you always finishing them up?

7) If you do eat fast food, are you tempted to upgrade a combo for a bigger sized fry and drink even though you know you shouldn’t really be eating the fries to begin with?

8) How much sugar do you consume? If you drink sodas or add sugar to your drinks, it may be a good idea to do an experiment and see how much you use.

9) If you just have to have a certain food immediately, do you ever have to borrow or use money you shouldn’t be using just to pay for it?

10) Do you ever hide wrappers, food packaging, receipts or other food-related items so people won’t see it?
