| Pause for a moment and consider the answer to this question. If you're truly hungry, eat! Your goal isn't to eat less, but rather to stop eating when you aren't hungry. Focus on using food for its intended purpose: nourishment. And honor your emotions. If you know you use food to cover up difficult feelings — boredom, sadness, and stress are all common ones — let that discomfort in, then let it pass before you move on to your meal. It's also common to mistake hunger for thirst, so if you find that you're not actually hungry, consider getting a glass of water or cup of tea and putting off your meal for a bit. Alternately, it may help to do something to distract yourself for a few minutes instead of eating, like taking a short walk or doing a brainteaser. | | | | | I frequently mistake hunger for thirst. To avoid this, I keep a large glass of water nearby and drink throughout the day. | | - Alex Ashback | Check out her Insta | | Thanks for joining our mindful eating challenge.
