Title: 1. Questionnaire: Find out about your individual eating habits!
Course: Looking Ahead

Find out about your individual eating habits!

Read the statements below and decide whether they apply to you or not. You have to make a decision, even if it might be difficult sometimes.
Rank the statements with numbers from 1 (=absolutely not applies to me) to 6 (absolutely applies to me).

PART A concerns the importance of your inner signals (like hunger, thirst, appetite, repletion) for your eating behaviour.

* I always eat when…
… I am hungry
… I feel like it.
… I'm stressed.
… I'm bored.
… I feel lonely.
* I stop eating when I'm full.
* Sometimes I have a ravenous appetite for sweets.

PART B concerns the importance of outer stimuli (like rules, habits, influence of other people)

* I always eat together with my family at fixed times.
* I don't have to eat just because others eat.
* An open packaging (e.g. a bar of chocolate) does not lead me
into temptation.
* I always finish off my meal even if I don't like it.
* Frequently, I eat just 'out of solidarity'.

PART C concerns the importance of acquired attitudes towards food and knowledge about it

* I consciously eat healthy food
* I don't mind where the food I'm eating comes from or what it is
made of.
* I watch calories.
* I control my eating habits because I want to stay slim.
* I'm interested in the living conditions of farm animals.
* I don't read a lot about a balanced diet.
* I feel guilty in case I ate too much.
* I'm vegetarian.

After you have completed the test, please sum up and evaluate the results: What are the things that mainly influence your eating habits and what is less influential?
