What type of overeater are you?

I found an interesting article at this website.  I am not sure I agree with all the other parts of the site but I found this interesting.

• The Sad Overeater: this type of overeater tends to eat by self-medicating.  Usually the underlying condition is due to depression, boredom, or loneliness. People with Seasonal Affective Disorder fall into this category as well.
• The Compulsive Overeater:  this type of overeater thinks about food all of the time. It is difficult to change their focus to something else.  Nighttime-eaters fit into this category.  These people tend to overeat and/or gorge during the night.
• The Impulsive Overeater:  this type of overeater sees food and just takes it without any afterthought.  They intend to eat well, but when they don’t, they use the old saying, ‘I’ll just start my diet tomorrow.’  This type of person usually has problems focusing, being inattentive and is often bored.  People with ADD can fall into this category, according to Dr. Amen.
• The Anxious Overeater:  this type eats to calm down feelings of anxiety, tension, feelings of being nervous or fear. 
• The Impulsive-Compulsive Overeater:  this type of person is a combination of the compulsive overeater and the impulsive overeater.  He or she may be disorganized, easily distracted, have a short attention span; also may focus on anxious or depressing thoughts.

I think I have fallen into all of these categories at one time or another.  I think right now I fall into the Impulsive.  I take food or just a taste or bite all throughout the day. All those bites can add up to 500 calories or more a day. Now if it take a deficit of 3500 calories a week to lose one pound and I am eating 500 calories more each day....you get the picture.  I am determined to lose this year instead of mostly maintaining. Thank God for maintaining too but I am in this to loose...sounds funny.  I was once in a group that called ourselves "The Losers".

I don't think we can really win this battle without knowing what is "eating" us.  Do you agree?  I am also going to be sharing some wisdom from this book also.  I got the 21 day devotional for free on Kindle and I can't wait to get the book...saving for that.

Leave me comments please....I get lonely   :)
