Unlikely to be an Emotional Eater

This score suggests that you have a healthy relationship with food and are unlikely to use it as a coping mechanism for emotions. You eat primarily for nourishment and enjoyment rather than to manage feelings.

Occasional Emotional Eating Tendencies

Sometimes you may turn to food in response to emotions, but it doesn't appear to be a consistent pattern or significant concern. It might be helpful to pay attention to these instances and consider healthier coping strategies.

Moderate Emotional Eating Patterns Present

This score indicates a more consistent pattern of emotional eating. You may find that food brings you comfort during emotional times, and it might be affecting your overall well-being. Consider seeking resources or support to understand and manage these tendencies, such as self-help books, support groups, or counseling.

Strong Emotional Eating Tendencies; Consider Seeking Professional Help

A score in this range suggests that emotional eating is a significant part of your life and may interfere with your health, well-being, or daily functioning. This could indicate an underlying emotional issue that needs professional attention. Therapy with a mental health professional specializing in eating behaviors can provide personalized strategies to understand and manage emotional eating.
