What's driving your binge eating?

Bingeing rarely comes from just one place. For most people it's a mix of how we cope with feelings, how we respond to food around us, and the rules we hold about eating.

This short quiz looks at three patterns that commonly drive bingeing: emotional eating, external eating, and restrained eating. Answer honestly, there are no right or wrong answers, and at the end you'll get a personal breakdown of which pattern (or patterns) feel strongest for you right now.
