5. Do you look forward with pleasure and anticipation to the time when you can
    eat alone?

6. Do you plan these secret binges ahead of time?

7. Do you eat sensibly before others and make up for it alone?

8. Is your weight affecting the way you live your life?

9. Have you tried to diet for a week (or longer), only to fall short of your goal?

10. Do you resent others telling you to "use a little willpower" to stop overeating?

11. Despite evidence to the contrary, have you continued to assert that you can
      diet "on your own" whenever you wish?

13. Do you eat to escape from worries or trouble?

14. Have you ever been treated for obesity or a food-related condition?
