Obsessed About Your Weight?

Many women (and men!) today find themselves applying the “less is more” philosophy to their bodies and how they see themselves—sometimes without even realizing it. This means that some have started focusing on calories over nutritional value, even on dress size over the enjoyment of a food experience! “Fat” is the new evil, “thin” the new ideal, and dieting a sort of unofficial religious activity.

Find out just how much fat talk (and fat thoughts) have seeped into your everyday life by taking the quiz below!

1 .) When trying on a new outfit, what’s the first question you ask yourself?
* Does it flatter my figure and complexion?
* Does it make me look fat?
* Does it fit my budget?

2 .) So you gained a few pounds over your last vacation. What thought runs through your head?
* Ohmigod, I’m so fat! Got to go on a diet and call my trainer stat!
* This isn’t good for me. I’d better make sure I exercise and eat healthier from now on.
* So what? I had a few days of great eating! That’s what vacations are for!

3 .) Which star do you think has the sexiest body?
* Cameron Diaz
* Paris Hilton
* Scarlett Johansson

4 .) A sexy woman . . .
* Is slim and svelte
* Has attitude

5 .) When ordering at a restaurant, your main concern is:
* Healthiness
* Flavor
* Calorie count

6 .) A little black dress is a fashion essential because:
* It hides all the little bulges
* It flatters any figure
* It works for any occasion

7 .) The most unattractive feature a woman can have is:
* An unhealthy lifestyle—if we don’t take care of our bodies and minds, who will?
* I don’t know; it depends on the person. Bad teeth, maybe?
* Thunder thighs and tummy flab

8 .) Have you ever considered going on a starvation diet or engaging in other radical strategies for weight loss?
* Of course not, I love food too much!
* Once or twice, but never seriously
* Yes, in an emergency—like a sudden trip to Bora!

9 .) Why do you diet?
* To lose weight!
* To introduce better nutrition into my lifestyle.
* What diet?

10 .) The foods you try to avoid as much as possible are:
* Processed foods or food with a lot of synthetic flavor, preservatives, etc.
* Carbs, sweets, and just about anything fattening
* Why deprive myself of anything I’m not allergic to?

Let me know your answers!
