vlp1968 83 Posted September 12, 2011 I came up as strong indications of a food addict. I wasn't sure how to answer a lot of the questions. My story is I am pretty much maintaining a 100 pound loss. However, my eating is irratic. I restrict myself very much on some days, go overboard on eating other days. I am currently a little above the range I want to stay in.

Sistersue 12 Posted September 13, 2011 You might want to look into a FAA or an OA group if you are having trouble keeping your eating stable. I looked at the FAA food plan and it fits pretty good with what I already eat when I eat right. Having been a drug addict I know that have to just avoid the things that trigger me, starches, and wheat. I look forward to overcoming this addiction.

transforming jlaroux 78 Posted September 13, 2011 So, I took the quiz two times. one with my responses from pre-banding, and one with my honest responses 4 months post band. I guess I'm on the right track. I went from being high to moderate. Still a food addict, probably always will be, I just cannot eat the way I used to. It's not possible now, but I guess its the same with other addictions, once an addict, always an addict. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

size10again 11 Posted September 14, 2011 I took the quiz twice. Pre band answers had me at moderate, post band has me at some concern. It is SO nice to not be as focused on food as I was pre-band! Joan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
