My immediate reaction: I know I'm overweight, but am I that bad?
My next day reaction: Ok, I'll look at it.
My right now reaction: Ok, I have to go, but I'm embarrassed.
It's the OA Questions that got me thinking I actually have a problem. That, and everyone I know seems to know I like being rewarded with cookies.
- Do you eat when you’re not hungry? -Well, yeah. If I don't finish those Thin Mints, someone else might.
- Do you go on eating binges for no apparent reason? - If you're assuming that the new season of Lost is "no apparent reason," then yes.
- Do you have feelings of guilt and remorse after overeating? - I always chalked that up to being raised Catholic.
- Do you give too much time and thought to food? - Is thinking about it all the time too much time?
- Do you look forward with pleasure and anticipation to the time when you can eat alone? - Less people to share with!
- Do you plan these secret binges ahead of time? - Me and a row of Oreos. Tonight. Shhh.
- Do you eat sensibly before others and make up for it alone? - Sometimes. Sometimes I don't eat sensibly in front of others.
- Is your weight affecting the way you live your life? - I can't shop at Urban, if that's what you mean.
- Have you tried to diet for a week (or longer), only to fall short of your goal? - About once a month.
- Do you resent others telling you to “use a little willpower” to stop overeating? - I resent their skinny asses.
- Despite evidence to the contrary, have you continued to assert that you can diet “on your own” whenever you wish? - Well who else is going to make me do it?
- Do you eat to escape from worries or trouble? - Food understands me in ways you never will.
- Have you ever been treated for obesity or a food-related condition? - Not yet. Nor do I want to be.
- Does your eating behavior make you or others unhappy? - Me.
