How to tell if you're really hungry aka "I'm always hungry!"

Let's get tactical, tactical, I wanna get tactical, let's get into tactical...

Today, as you might have guessed, I want to get tactical.

Many of you tell me that you always feel hungry. I hear ya!

Let's explore:

First off, let's ask ourselves this question while we're thinking rationally: Is it possible to be hungry all the time?

Rationally, we know that it's not possible to be hungry all the time. So what gives?

Well, most of the time it's emotional hunger.

Real/physical hunger comes on gradually. Emotional hunger comes on suddenly. Real hunger can be satisfied with any food. Yes, that's right - if an apple doesn't satisfy our hunger, we're not really physically hungry.

Emotional hunger comes with a craving for a specific food. And unfortunately, it's usually not apples.

When we get 'hungry' it's worth looking at the clock and asking ourselves a few questions:

1. How long has it been since I've eaten?

2. What was the last thing I ate?

3. Was it something nutritious?

If you suspect your hunger might be emotional, ask yourself what you might be really hungry for?

Perhaps, it's affection, assistance, rest, excitement, peace of mind...

Is it possible to have the need met by someone? How about by yourself?

Here's the challenge: Many times we feel like our needs can't or won't get met so food becomes our escape.

When we're 'hungry' that is one need we feel like we can control.

Sometimes, it can be very helpful to explore what it feels like to have the need go unmet by simply writing about it, and many clients have reported that this eases the discomfort tremendously.

This is also how to find out what you might really want out of your life because typically we'd shovel food into our mouth so we don't have to experience or face the feelings.

But when we're not suppressing those feelings, they'll come to the surface, and we'll be able to see what it is we really want.

Food is ONLY love when it is used to feed our true physical hunger and we actually enjoy and relish and savor the experience. Otherwise, we're using food to cover up feelings.

Feelings that are preventing us from becoming the person we really want to be.
