Have you ever finished eating and still felt a quiet pull for something more? In this episode of This Life of Ours, Coach Emily B explores the difference between physical hunger and satisfaction, and why feeling “full” doesn’t always mean feeling complete. Hunger is a signal from the body, but satisfaction is a state of mind, and when it’s missing, that after-meal tug often shows up.
Emily breaks down how physical support, emotional permission, and practical conditions all influence satisfaction, and why addressing hunger alone can leave you feeling unsettled. She shares gentle questions you can ask at the end of meals to build awareness, trust yourself, and learn when it’s truly time to stop eating.
This conversation offers a compassionate reframe for nighttime eating, grazing, and the urge to keep going, not through control or restriction, but through listening, presence, and support. Because when satisfaction is met, food loses its urgency and your body feels safe enough to pause.
