“Am I hungry or am I stressed?”
“Am I famished or am I frustrated?"
“Am I starving or just bored?”
Sometimes it’s hard to tell the difference between physical hunger and emotional hunger. Sometimes food and feelings get so jumbled up in our minds that we can’t really sort them out.
And it doesn’t help that from infancy on, we’ve connected food with love, warmth, comfort, security, satisfaction, even happiness.
However, if find yourself caught up in a craving for cinnamon rolls, or chocolate, or ice cream, and you can even stop to ask yourself these questions, celebrate that!
Even if you choose eat after you’ve determined that you’re not truly physically hungry, take enormous pride in the fact that you stopped to consider what was pushing you toward food. Remember that physical hunger will always be satisfied by food. But if you’re emotionally hungry, no food on the planet will fill you up.
