Vickie's Viewpoint

In the previous blog we pointed out some of the recognizable characteristics of overweight women. For example, they eat to relieve stress or eat quickly or tend to be carbohydrate addicts. But what about the hidden traits? These are the characteristics that overeaters themselves my not even be conscious of.

Here’s Some Not so Obvious Traits of Overweight Women…

They might have a tendency to…

• Eat often unconsciously while reading or watching TV.

• Be scared of change.

• Feel guilty after splurging.

• Have no idea what their dreams are.

• Have a large capacity to tolerate, stuffing down every little thing instead of setting boundaries.

• Put others ahead of themselves.

• Have a hard time saying “no” when offered food. It’s difficult to disappoint others.

• Focus on getting a quick fix instead of working on their long term goals.

• Either under earn, over spend or both.

• Binge eat alone.

• Have a clutter problem.

Can you think of any others? I would love to get your comments.
