How to Stop Stress Eating, Binging, Overeating, Emotional Eating, Purging, Restricting, and Eating Disorders: Self-Checklist
Do you want to learn how to stop stress eating or how to break free from any other form of eating disorder? Call it what you will, whatever your stressful experience of food, the solution is simple and fast when you’re using the right tools that get straight to the root of the problem.
This checklist will help you to get clear on how food is impacting your life. Every yes answer on this checklist is an indicator that food is taking up more space and causing you more stress in your life than it needs to.
We can help if you:
- Eat with a feeling of being “out of control”
- Eat in secret
- Engage in constant low calorie or crash dieting
- Follow strict rules or rituals about eating
- Eat when not physically hungry
- Feel controlled by food
- Eat sensibly in public and then binge when you’re alone
- Plan secret overindulgences in advance
- Feel excited thinking about time alone with food
- Eat large amounts knowing that you will vomit or purge through exercise, restriction, or laxatives after meals
- Depend on laxatives, diuretics or enemas to control weight

- Refuse to talk about food/weight because of shame, embarrassment, or fear.
- Fear being fat regardless of weight
- Use food to hide feelings of anger, loneliness or rejection
- Use food to gain a sense of control over your life
- Perceive foods as “good” or “bad” and judge yourself as good or bad, or as having had a ‘good’ or ‘bad’ day depending on what you’ve eaten
- Find yourself engaging in self-criticism (name calling, using statements to judge your behaviour like “you’ll always be fat” “you’ll never be thin” “you never stick to anything’ ‘you have no willpower’)
- Use your weight to determine personal value – if you don’t weigh X you’re ugly, fat, stupid, gross, unworthy or some such blanket, depressing, self-judgement
