If I let myself get hungry I’ll eat everything in sight.  Yup, you are probably going to eat yourself into a coma right?

Sounds ridiculous but it’s so often what our brains are telling us.

The craziest part is you believe your brain. Why doesn’t your brain only want what’s best for you?

Unfortunately not always.

Your brain wants to keep you safe and comfortable.

So when you are feeling hungry you are most likely also uncomfortable.  So you avoid it. You pick up the excuses you have heard from others like, overeating happens because you let yourself get too hungry.  So then you avoid it at all costs.

It’s actually not true.

I know for a fact every year on Yom Kippur I fast for about 24 hours and when I start eating, I don’t eat till I’m sick or till I’m in a coma.

Why?

Because I know how to stop when I’m full.  Actually I usually eat less because my stomach fills up quicker.

The key is learning how to stop fearing hunger as the big bad scary wolf and learning how to eat til you're full and becoming more mindful of how you feel. The other part is to fully understand all the bs that your mind is going to serve up in the process and how to deal with it.

In today’s podcast I am going to talk all about why there is no need to fear hunger and why it might be stalling your progress.
