You understand that when it comes to food and your body that there are some days when you will feel great and other days when you might not for some reason. Nonetheless, you know that that is all part of being human. You also understand the importance of balancing your physical health needs with your mental, emotional and social health needs. Whilst your relationship with food appears to be quite healthy at this stage, if you are ever unsure, just need a reminder of this, or anything changes, please be sure to reach out to us at any stage.

A score between 13 to 22 points indicates that your relationship with food is healthy most of the time. There may be times when you feel concerned about your relationship with food.
