Re: [fast5] Re: Cravings and Hunger

Here's what works for me when I'm hungry -- and it's all mental.

1.  I remember a quote from Judith Beck's book, The Beck Diet:  "HUNGER IS NEVER AN EMERGENCY."  Dr. Beck says that severe bleeding, for example, is a true emergency and must be tended to.  But hunger is not; if you do nothing, guess what?  It goes away.  It's never an emergency.

2.  When I feel my stomach growling and it's not time to eat, I think to myself, "Good.  This mild discomfort means I'm losing weight."  (I'm obese, so that's a good thing!)

Best wishes,
Linda in Cowtown
