Some surprising facts from the Colonel
The Food Anxiety Quiz

 
send this quiz to a friendsee all quizzes
 
 
1. I think about food:
  rarely. In fact, I often have to remind myself to eat
  a few times throughout the day – usually only when I'm hungry
  constantly – even if it’s not mealtime, I’ve got food on my mind
 
2. When I go food shopping
  I plan all my meals to the last ingredient, and then buy exactly what I need
  I grab whatever looks good – the meals will come together later
  I usually bring along a list of basic needs and then improvise
 
3. After indulging in a decadent dessert, I usually feel:
  a little guilty, but remind myself that I deserve a treat every once in a while
  guilty and depressed – I can feel the extra fat on my thighs already
  full and content – nothing hits the spot better than chocolate
 
4. The day after eating too many crisps, I usually
  work out if I feel like it
  stick to my normal workout routine, maybe increasing the incline on the treadmill a bit
  add an hour on to my cardio workout and restrict my food intake
 
5. Knowing the nutritional content (i.e. fat grams, calories, etc.) of the food I eat during each meal is:
  essential – I count every calorie and every fat gram to make sure I stay on track
  not important to me at all – who wants to worry about numbers while eating?
  quite important to me – I try to have a general understanding of what I'm eating
 
6. The recent talk about low-carbohydrate diets has made me:
  adjust my eating habits or at least pay more attention to them
  totally change my lifestyle – carbs are the enemy
  laugh out loud – why people are so mad about food is beyond my understanding
 
7. Cookery shows are:
  the perfect remedy for insomnia – they put me straight to sleep
  interesting if the cook is making something I can
  a secret obsession – I become so fascinated with watching the preparation, I actually forget to eat
 
8. When my friend orders fish and chips for lunch, I usually:
  get a salad and drool over every bite she takes
  order them too – why shouldn't I?
  go for something a little less fattening, but nick some of her chips
 
9. When I come face-to-face with a lavish spread at a party, I:
  stick to small portions so I can sample everything without overdoing it
  feel totally overwhelmed and conflicted. I want to eat but don’t let myself indulge
  dig right in, if I'm hungry. If not, I head to the bar
 
10. When I'm upset about something, I am most likely to:
  lose my appetite
  share some chocolate with a good friend
  gorge on all my forbidden foods when no one can see me
