Physical Hunger VS Emotional Eating


🤷‍♀️Are you even hungry?…

🤔How do you even know?…

😋We eat for so many reasons, we sometimes forget that food is to FUEL ⛽️ …

😃We definitely want to enjoy eating, but if food is our master, it’s time to turn that around….

🍽We need to know the difference between eating because we are PHYSICALLY hungry and EMOTIONAL eating…

📌Here are signs of PHYSICAL hunger…
✅It’s predictable and comes on gradually…
✅It can be satisfied with a wide range of foods…
✅You can easily stop eating once your hunger is satisfied…
✅You feel satisfied and feel no ‘guilt’ once satiated…

📌Compare that to signs of EMOTIONAL eating…
❌It can be triggered suddenly and unexpectedly…
❌It causes specific cravings – typically ‘off-limit’ or ‘taboo’ foods…
❌You continue to eat even though you may feel full…
❌You feel guilt, shame or anger with yourself…

❓See the difference?…

🔔 Does this ring a bell for you?…

😳If you feel you eat your emotions, no wonder you’re experiencing health issues…

👎It’s not your fault…

🤔Understanding ‘why’ we do things is the first step in positive behaviour change…
