Understanding Hunger. Phew! What a task. If you watch a baby š¼, they cry when they are hungry and they push the bottle away when they are full.
_As we get older, eating begins to serve a different purpose: to soothe, distract, numb, procrastinate, entertain, or reward. šØ -What food is comforting to you and why? I have a couple that bring back fond memories of my dad (who died young). One is hot chocolate āļø. Weād sing Xmas carols and then invite the neighbors over after for hot chocolate.
_The other is a āblack and tanā šØ at Fentonās Creamery in Oakland,CA. Weād go there after piano recitals and it was a real treat!
_No food is off limits, but you also donāt want to eat Black and Tans and hot chocolate every night. Well maybe you do….š¤·āāļø_Identifying if you are eating because you are hungry versus eating because you are bored, anxious, or tired is a good habit to get into to help you not overeat.
_Working on helping you make simple changes slowly and then over time you will see big results. #mindfulliving, #progressnotperfection, #smallchangesbigresults, #pattysfitnessjourney, #reclaimingpatty, #reclaimingmylife, #rheumatoidarthritiswarrior, #hashimotoswarrior, #samehereš¤, #wlstories, #wlstransformation, #wellnesswednesday
