Overthinking hunger and fullness maybe as a topic? Sometimes that either paralyzes me or makes me start eating fast and before I know it, I'm too full.

Does anyone else eat basically a whole meal whilst picking at the ingredients you're cooking? I guess it's Taste hunger. It's my main problem with eating when i'm not hungry, it looks and smells so good i can't wait.

It’s just hard to use the mindful techniques sometimes because the food just tastes so good and once I start eating it’s hard to stick to my plans of using the techniques

[ashleymclaughlin]

Yes to the food addiction video. I am also wondering if you could make a video on those who need to lose weight for health but want to practice intuitive eating! Thank so much, love your videos!

Can you do a video on constant thoughts about food and what to do if there is just so much good looking food around you?
Thanks, Love from Canada :)

Practical hunger is so useful, it helps me to eat decently throughout the day. However sometimes i struggle to apply it cause my mind thinking that i atcually just making excuses to "binge" and therefore i feel so guilty after eating even though I'm not actually binging 😭😭

I am eating intuitively nowadays, after two years it is the first time that i told my body there is no dieting anymore. It felt strange and when i do not want to eat, when i realize that i surprise every time

An example of practical hunger: I am not usually super hungry in the mornings, but I know that I would be starving by lunchtime if I didn’t eat breakfast. I don’t necessarily have to have a huge breakfast but I could have something small like an apple with yogurt, cereal, or some toast with avocado. Things that can hold me for 2-3 hours.

I had a warm salad tonight and it was so good. My new go to for sure! Thanks for the ideas.

Staying mindful is SO HARDDD for me. 😩

[samantha]

my hunger cues never came back ( i use to have anorexia and have been weight restored) even tho i’ve been eating on a schedule (every 3-4 hours) for over a year and 2200-2400 calories. i always have to force myself to eat and it is sooo unpleasant i just wish i had hunger again so it’d be easier to eat. i also lost the rewarding feeling when i eat ( i heard anorexia can mess up the brain reward system). i hope the brain altercations will be restored eventually. i honestly have NO appetite at all and eating feels so forced. i feel so frustrated and will give up eventually 😭 idk what to do and my dietician doesn’t know either. maybe i’m doing something incorrectly and that’s why they are not back? if i listened to my hunger, i literally would not eat at all since i have absolutely ZERO hunger

[gardenrose]

You are amazing colleen i am healing my relationship with food slowly🥰
