    I could take that quiz twice and get different answers, before MFP YeS to almost everything, after 9 months of healthy living, I am very comfortable saying no. my score as of today is 0 which i guess is good, says not addicted. Thanx for posting though.

    Agree. My score was 0 (not addicted), but I could see my answer being different at this time last year.

    I sat there trying to answer the questions as I would have six months ago, but I couldn't remember the feelings from that time. I gave up and answered them as I would now. I'm not an addict. I seriously doubt that though, sense I think about food constantly.

    I don't need this quiz to say yes or no. I, myself can admit that I definitely have a food addiction. However, with that being said... this is my result!

    Your score: 17

    Error on page. :sad:

    Stupid IE9.

    (I already know the score would be bad, I don't need a test to tell me I have an unhealthy relationship with food.)

    I'd say I'm less addicted and more obsessed with it.
