Although, I have to say, I've been keeping 130 pounds off since 1993 (with the exception of a 30 gain and subsequent 40 pound loss, and this since 3/16/98). So it can be done, even if you are an underachiever like myself!

I got a 240, but didn't count any partial scores. Don't think I need counseling tho (been there, done that). I only binge a quarter as much as I used to and it decreases every week because in someones famous words "nothing tastes as good as thin feels"!

Article: Ready For Weight Loss Success? This Quiz Will Tell

An eDiets.com Exclusive by Dr. Here it is my friends.The long awaited Great Weight Loss Test. If youpass this test you will bealmost certain to lose all your excess weight --and keep it off for as long as youlive. If you donot pass this test, do not despair. Weight loss is stillpossible -- and even probable -- if you use thetest as a guidelinefor change. Each question designates a particular andimportant area of weight loss that must beattended to if youare to become a successful loser of weight. If you are notup to par on any question, then use thatinformation to pointyou in the right direction. I have created thistest from my personal and professionalobservations of successful andunsuccessful dieters. To the best of my knowledge,these questions will directyou to the heart of the weight loss matter. Theyare as straight to the pointas possible. I am aware that some may becontroversial but I am convinced thatevery one is relevant and necessary for long-termweight loss. I suggest that you takethe test and then give serious consideration toyour answers. Use whateverscore you get as an encouragement to look deeperand work harder on theareas that need attention. If you get a perfectscore, celebrate and keep upthe good work. But remember, almost no one willqualify as perfect. This is atough test. Let's get to it. The Great Weight LossTest Please answer allquestions with YES or NO. All questions have anumber value. Evaluate your score atthe end of the test. 1. I exercise at least20 minutes every day. Yes=10 No=0 2. I live with someonewho is overweight. Yes=0 No=15 3. I believe that willpower and self-discipline are the best sources ofweight loss. Yes=0 No=10 4. I believe that myuncomfortable feelings are a major cause of my overeating. Yes=40 No=0 5. I often ask myselfwhat I really want to eat and then eat exactlythat food. Yes=20 No=0 6. I regularly stopbefore I eat something and ask myself, "Whatfeeling is driving me to eat thisfood?" Yes=20 No=0 7. If I am chronically20 pounds or more overweight, I consider myself afood addict. Yes=10 No=0 8. I often hate myselffor being overweight. Yes=0 No=15 9. I often hate my bodyand/or its parts. Yes=0 No=15 10. I pay regularattention to my spiritual needs. Yes=20 No=0 11. I am aware of myemotional needs and wants. Yes=20 No=0 12. I am good atcommunicating my emotional needs and wants to thepeople closest to me. Yes=15No=0 13. I have aconstructive plan for increasing my love andacceptance for my body. Yes=15 No=0 14. I have aconstructive plan for increasing myself-acceptance and my self-esteem. Yes=20No=0 15. I have forgivenmyself for the significant mistakes in my past.Yes=15 No=0 16. I have at least oneperson that I am regularly open and honest with. Yes=25 No=0 17. I believe that Iwill be more lovable once I lose weight. Yes=0No=15 18. I regularly spendtime in nature. Yes=15 No=0 19. I meditate at leastfour times a week. Yes=15 No=0 20. I drink at least 32ounces of water every day. Yes=10 No=0 21. I have honestlyevaluated the emotional traumas of my past andhave established aconstructive process for healing them. Yes=20 No=0 22. I see my weightgain as an opportunity to learn more about myselfand become a better person.Yes=20 No=0 23. I am learning tohave compassion for myself and for otheroverweight people. Yes=15 No=0 24. I am aware thatthere are no magic pills or techniques that willcreate quick and easy weightloss. Yes=15 No=0 25. I am committed tomy own physical, emotional, mental and spiritualhealth for the rest of mylife. Yes=20 No=0 To be realistic, youmay need to give yourself a partial number forsome questions (unless youare a perfectionist). For example, your answer to question #23 may be"sometimes." Then take 5 or 10 points instead ofthe entire 15. Do the samewith every question. Most of us can say at least apartial YES or NO to all ofthem. You are the official scorer here. Be honestbut please don't cheatyourself out of points. The maximum number ofpoints available is 430. I do not know anyone whohas reached this pointlevel. All of us have work to do. If you have morethan 370 points, you have thebest chance at significant long-term weight loss.If you are under 250, Istrongly suggest one-on-one or group counseling sothat you can get specificprofessional support for the issues that blockyour progress. If you are somewhere inthe middle, you can use the questions to focus onthe areas that need moreattention and get to work on them. Whatever yourscore, there is hope if youare willing to do the necessary inner work. , D.Min., is a counselor, organizational consultantand seminar leader. Helives and works in Boca Raton, Florida.

I'm with ya Terry! I kept off 140 pounds for 3 years, gained back 40, lost 25 so far...still working on the last 15 pounds or so. I got a 295 on the survey...so tell me why I had another 200 grams of carbs yesterday???? Ugghhhhh!!! I already know the answer...lack of rest and stress!!! So frustrating!! I'm back on the band wagon today...at least I can just stop the carbs the next day and get back on. I think the fact that it makes me feel like crap is a good thing...encouragement not to put that nasty stuff in my mouth in the first place! At least the end is in site...graduation friday so I'll have a bit more time to myself. All I have to do is survive Mom and Dad and all the other relatives coming from the east coast for 2 weeks. (And 2 batches of cookies and 2 cakes to make!) Have a great holiday everyone, I'm off to start 'mother' cleaning, they are staying with us...at least everyone else is in a hotel! Yea! Take care, Marie

Terry:

I would hardly say that keeping 120 pounds off for 8 years is underachieving!
