Grocery Shopping – Simple Task or Time Consuming Nightmare?

I don’t know of many people who actually enjoy the mundane task of going grocery shopping but for those who suffer from an eating disorder it can be an absolute nightmare. For them going to the grocery can be time consuming, mentally exhausting and costly.  Check the results we collected from Dr. Norton’s Online Survey concerning grocery shopping.

• 75.2%  debate whether or not to purchase each particular item
• 44.4% find themselves fantasizing about binging on certain foods while grocery shopping
• 30.1% spend more than they can afford on food

These statistics, which are from a sample of over 125 respondents, are good examples of why Dr. Norton provides the service of shopping coach.
