head hunger/emotional eating

[willowcat 93]

Thank god for the band--it has helped me deal with the physical part of eating less! I still struggle with the mental part of eating less, though.

I thought I'd share two resources that have really helped me recently:

*Mindful Eating-A Guide to Rediscovering a Healthy and Joyful Relationship with Food (by Jan Chozen Bays, MD)

*50 Ways to Soothe Yourself Without Food (By Susan Albers, PSY.D.)

Good luck.

At times my bodys is not hungry but my mind see something and wants it, thanks to my bad it is much eaiser to resist thoose thoughts, i just take a min and ask my self, am i hungry? Do i need to eat that to live? and then it is a NO, and i drink some Water !
