Is this trying to stop me from eating?
No — eating is always a reasonable choice here, whatever you find underneath the check-in. This is a pause to notice what's going on, not a gate you have to get through first.
What if I can't tell whether it's physical hunger or something else?
That's completely fine — "not sure" is a real answer, not a failure to categorize correctly. This is a moment to notice, not a test to pass.
What does it mean if I choose "a sudden pull toward one specific food"?
It usually means something underneath is asking for comfort as much as food is. The tool offers one gentle option alongside eating — never instead of it — based on what that underneath feeling might be.
Does this save anything about what I choose?
No — nothing is logged, tracked, or saved. No history, no streak. It's just a pause, available whenever you want it, then gone.
What if food and feelings feel like a bigger, ongoing struggle, not just a one-off?
This check-in is a small pause, not a screening tool. If it's a pattern rather than a moment, the
eating-support guide and the helplines linked from the
support page are better suited to that.
