Do you really have a weight problem? Consider the way you eat, and your present weight.

Did you ever stop to think about whether this eating and weight thing is really a problem for you - or just a preference?

Here are a few questions to ask yourself so you can clarify the matter:

• If you felt you could easily lose weight, would you want to?
• Does your self-esteem suffer in any way because of your eating or your weight?
• Do you find yourself unable to change either one despite many tries?
• Do you ever feel hopeless about your eating and your weight?
• Do you hide from others anything related to your eating and your weight?

If you are able to answer these questions directly, it should give you a very good idea about whether you have a real problem on your hands, or whether this is a way of being that you freely choose.
