    Emotional Eater: Moderately Low (used to be high until I just kept telling myself that I wasn't hungry when I was mad/sad)

    Big Eater: Moderately High (most definitely!! mostly because I usually don't snack)

    Addictive Eater: Moderately High (give me bbq pringles and I can eat the whole can in one sitting)

    Not sure still if mine is true . I mean I go off and on and go without eating for days , and I can't help it ... I just lose my appetite when I'm upset or depressed . I only eat to survive now , that's how I think about it . But yet I don't lose any weight , because my body is keeping my fat stored , and storing everything I eat . Like it's on lock down LOL

    Didn't think that was right at first until I read the description for Big Eater. Yep, that's me except for I don't finish off someone else's meal. To me, that's just gross. If anything, I usually give away my food.

    This was entirely unsurprising. I am a binge eater, so I knew this stuff about myself already, but it's still fun to take the test.

    Emotional Eater - moderately high
    Yep, that's me

    Low in the other categories.

    Guess I need to quit being so emotional! :wink:

    Big Eater - Moderately High
    Addictive Eater - Moderately High
    Lazy Eater - Very Low
    People Pleaser Eater - Very Low

    I took this test thinking about how I've changed. I'm gonna do it again with the mindset of who I used to be and compare the difference. Expect an EDIT coming this thread's way :)

    I am an emotional eater and a control freak eater. I pretty much knew about the first one, but I found the second one interesting.

    This surely doesn't explain why I've gotten so fat. I think my biggest problem is I have to force myself to eat very small meals very regularly because my metabolism seems to have slowed down dramatically. Another problem is my husband is an addictive eater...and if I keep certain things around that are good for me to eat, somehow, I have to hide them, so they will be around for me to eat? (Sorry, but I'm not good at hiding food...that seems a bit obsessive).
    Sorry if I sound like a downer. I'm having a rough day...and I'm depressed.

    I'm an emotional eater and an addictive eater....I kinda could have told you that. BUT, it was interesting to read and understand a little bit more about myself.

    This was a very interesting test. I was surprised at the results of a couple of categories and some not so much. I did refuse to go to a buffet tonight with my husband for a get together with his sis and Aunt. I know what would happen if I went. My willpower isn't THAT good. I love my fruit and vegetables, but the sweets would call me by name! :drinker:

    I'm very low, low, or moderately low on everything else.

    Pretty much. I feel addicted to sugar, and I almost always eat bad in a social environment.
