Habit # 1: Listen to Your Body
I stop eating when I'm full and only eat when I am hungry."- Roger Gould, Shrink Yourself: Break Free from Emotional Eating Forever (Get the book.) "EXERCISE Ten healthy eating habits You Should Adopt You might still be thinking, I have the symptoms but that doesn't mean I have to do anything about emotional eating. I can still control my weight by some other approach. If you didn't think you needed to do something about your emotional eating, you wouldn't even be reading this book. So this argument is at least partially wrong from the get-go. But it's wrong for another reason as well. Because you're an emotional eater, you can't be a rational eater, and therefore you won't be able to control your weight. No other method will work." - Roger Gould, Shrink Yourself: Break Free from Emotional Eating Forever (Get the book.) |
