Interview

I interviewed a woman at Weight Watchers, named Christa, in order to ask her a couple of questions about if emotions really do correlate with food. Some examples of my questions were as followed: "Does your program address the emotional as well as the physical side of being overweight?", "What's the most common comfort food?", "Do you have the same treatment for everyone or does it depend on their certain problems?", and ect. As I listened to her responses I found out a lot of interesting facts. She informed me that the most common comfort food is either french fries, pizza, or chocolate. When I asked her opinion of if food and emotions did correlate she said that she thought that it did. The reason being is in their 5 aspect program they try to change the way the participants think and react in order to affect their eating habits. She did also inform me that with each person it is different. Since Weight Watchers is based on a point system, she explained how the point value will vary from person to person. This just proves that when it come to emotions and eating habits, there is definitely a correlation.

I really enjoyed this interview with Christa. She was very friendly and open to any questions I had about their program. I was able to learn a lot from her and was glad that she could help me. I liked the fact that she also answered the questions that I had in a way that was easy to understand and that was to the point. I was able to learn many things about their program and I was also able to see the correlation with food and emotions applied to real life situations.
