Asking yourself are you really hungry is very important when it comes to eating and also is the cause of over eating. Many times we just indulge in foods because we are bored, depressed and "think" we have a craving for a particular food. Going back to my previous blogs when I mentioned how it all starts with your mind set, it still is true when it comes to our eating habits as well.
I can remember when I felt a certain way I would eat certain foods. I always seemed to convice myself that this is what I wanted/needed. When in reality I was just feeling a certain way and could have taken another route in food selections. As we approach the holidays and Winter season there are sure to be a lot of indulging in our favorite meals and snacks.. this is the perfect weather! So how do we know exactly when we are hungry? What are the signs that we need to look for?
Here is how, first things first, listen to your body! What I simply mean is if your body doesn't show signs of hunger...DON'T EAT! Signs of hunger is growling of stomach and overall you've realized its been quite awhile since your last meal. I usually use the method of waiting for the growling of my stomach before I eat another meal. Believe me your body will indeed let you know. It is very important that you pay attention to these signs because if not you could all of a sudden notice weight gain and become sluggish throughout the days. When you stop eating just because you are bored or because you have a certain craving (when you know you are not hungry) your body can become trained in letting you know when you are really hungry.
Everything I share on my blogs are situations that I feel I struggled with throughout the years of my weight battle. I hope that we all could take some great tips from this blog about whether or not YOU are really hungry? Thanks and don't forget to Read/Comment/Share all of my previous blogs as well!
Have a Terrific Tuesday!!
