What Type of Eater Are You?

You've tried every diet under the sun. Now, let's look at the habits, beliefs, and "sneaky" behaviors that are keeping the scale stuck.

C) I tell myself I "deserved" a treat after a long, stressful day.

D) I don't usually eat late, but I’m still thinking about what I ate earlier

C) The Hidden Consumer: Eating standing up or while cooking so it "doesn't count."

E) All of the above. My eating habits feel like a tangled web of all these things.

5. You’re at a dinner party or a family gathering and you’re already comfortably full. What happens when the dessert tray comes around? *
