Have you read Intuitive Eating? It’s amazing! It takes like 20 minutes to read because they had to use really big type, since its so much of what should be common sense, it shouldn’t need to be a book in the first place. It really helps you stop thinking of foods as inherently “good” or “bad” and the guilt you associate with them, which often leads to diet disasters and becoming obsessed with food (eating it or not eating it)

Great review. One of my fave books too. Tom Venuto rocks (he sat for an interview for me late last year too, check it out if ya wanna):

“Physical hunger is usually a general desire for food; emotional hunger is usually a desire for a specific food,” is SO interesting to me. Much to the irritation of my dining companions (usually my bf), I am often get hungry, but don’t have a “craving” for anything…which, coupled with being generally an indecisive person, makes it hard to determine what restaurant to go to or what to cook. So, I guess that it’s not such a bad thing after all- I’m more often physically hungry and emotionally!

Teri — I had that same “OH DUH!” moment too!! Another good tip I read somewhere is that if you aren’t sure if you are emotionally hungry or physically hungry, eat an apple. If it’s physical hunger, the apple will work. If it’s emotional hunger, it will not, and then you need to find another way to channel that!

I love this: "Physical hunger is usually a general desire for food; emotional hunger is usually a desire for a specific food." It's so simple but I've never thought of it like that! .-= Teri [a foodie stays fit]´s last blog ..Still Pushing It =-.

While a lot of this sounds like things us “healthy living” people already know, it never hurts to have it reinforced! And, I really like that 80/20 rule thing. Sometimes, I have to be at work a little earlier and end up skipping the last ten minutes of my workout classes, and I have to remind myself, “This ten minutes is not going to make or break my lifestyle!” It’s so true!

And I’m with you on the arms
