How do we know if we are hungry?

I believe that waiting to feel hungry before eating helps keep my weight down and makes my meals more enjoyable. But how do I know if I am hungry? It can vary, but mostly I get a feeling in my stomach. If I start getting spaced out or can think about nothing except the next meal, then I have waited ...

Re: Amy's Checking In Again

Well done Amy.

I agree that jeopardizing your moderate eating with further restrictions will probably be counterproductive. Especially if your fitness program increases your calorie needs anyway.

Re: Who is losing weight doing No S?

I would like to send you some gentle encouragement as well. It is hard to pull oneself out of that dreadful tangle of overeating and desperate anxiety. Getting good eating habits established and therefore losing weight can be done in baby steps. Can I suggest that you try just one ridiculously simpl...

Something else I wanted to say - I don't worry too much about the no seconds part of No S. If I start being strict about no seconds, I just end up getting too hungry between meals and having snacks instead. So I allow my self careful amounts of seconds if needed to feel satisfied, but keep aware of ...

Yes, I wait until hungry before eating. But I also believe that establishing the 3 meal habit needs to come first before the perfection of waiting until hungry every time.

But I think this is the gift that strong habits give us longer term - that solid foundation that gives us a clear blueprint of what we need to do to get back on track.
Yes, indeed. I believe that lapses are inevitable, its what I do next that counts.

Ah those cashews. I had to be really honest with myself and admit that if cashews are in the house I just eat them until they are all gone. Of course, you have to eat something when food options are limited.
