TODAY'S CHALLENGE

Ask yourself, “Am I hungry?”

Pause for a moment and consider the answer to this question. If you’re truly
hungry, eat! Your goal isn’t to eat less, but rather to stop eating when you aren’t
hungry.

Focus on using food for its intended purpose: nourishment. We’ll deal more with
how eating is connected with emotions in tomorrow’s challenge, but for now, just
focus on whether or not you’re hungry.

If you find that you’re not actually hungry, consider getting a glass of water or a
cup of tea and putting off your meal for a bit — you might just be thirsty. Or, it may
help to do something to distract yourself for a few minutes, like taking a short
walk or doing a brain teaser.

I frequently mistake hunger for thirst. To avoid this, I

keep a large glass of water nearby and drink throughout
the day.
