Ice Bath Weight Loss What Are You Hungry For Feeling Hungry.
Need something to eat?� Are you sure?
The next time you reach out for the biscuit tin, ask yourself this question:-
"What am I hungry for?"
So often when we think we're physically hungry, the reality is that we're not.� We are actually feeling starved of some emotion or other.� It might be love; it might be comfort; it might be warmth or affection. But whatever it is, food won't satisfy it.
Ironically the feeling is very similar to that of physical hunger - it's an empty feeling in your stomach, like a big black hollow - but being able to differentiate between physical and emotional hunger is an important factor in successful weight loss.
Early Associations With Food
Unfortunately at a very early age we are taught to associate food with emotional solace.� If we fall over and hurt ourselves, we get an ice cream; if we're upset about something we get taken to the sweet shop to cheer us up, and so on. �Thus, these associations and eating patterns have been ingrained in us for many years and, unless we break them, we will continue behaving in the same way for the rest of our lives.
However, the only thing that will satisfy you if you're hungry for love is love.� The only thing that will satisfy you if you're hungry for affection is affection.� That is the hole that needs filling and it needs filling appropriately.
So, the next time you're reaching for the biscuit tin, ask yourself that question:-
"What am I hungry for?"
If it's not physical hunger, then don't bother eating because they'll just be wasted calories and you'll be wasting energy too.� Your emotional hunger will remain, whatever it is, and will simply be joined by other negative emotions such as guilt.
Satisfy The Right Hunger
Determine what it is that you are genuinely hungry for and seek it out.
If it's love, call up the person who loves you most in the world and have a chat with them.
If it's affection, go and get a cuddle from someone - even your dog or cat if there are no human beings around!
If it's friendship, call a mate or go on-line and message someone on Facebook
If you're bored and need stimulation, read a book or magazine, do a crossword or Sudoku puzzle, do a jigsaw puzzle - anything that absorbs you
If you're stressed, listen to some music, take a bath or go for a walk
There are lots of different emotions that may need satisfying at any given time and lots of potential strategies.� The key is finding the right ones for you.� Once you do, emotional eating will be consigned to the dustbin of history and how truly satisfying that will be!
