skwhite's Journal, 08 August 2012

Control, it's such a mind thing. I can look at food and want it, but not be hungry. Yet it keeps coming to the front of my brain where I think about it and then come up with what I think are good reasons why I should eat/drink it. So it's all about staying in control and telling myself I do not need it and I am not hungry. Control, yep I'm working on it.

I found that I actually had to get comfortable with hunger my first month dieting, to really know the difference between a hungry stomach, excited taste buds, or a bored mouth!!

Of course what matters to lose weight is to reduce calories. But the way to DO it is all about control. Once you have the control down - and this is totally accomplishable for everyone if they practice enough - things get a lot easier. I too have the urge for food that I don't need and I too will argue with myself why I should have it (and I argue pretty damn well! LOL!), but the control makes me conquer it for the most times. Well done on spotting it. Realizing what we need to do is a massive step towards success. :)
