Let’s Eat!

At some point today you had an increased desire to eat.

Whether that desire landed inside your brain and stomach at 8:00am or 1:00pm, it landed.

You quickly decided how, what and when you would eat based on a variety of subconscious or conscious factors (convenience, availability, social obligation, past experiences of certain food or meals).

We call this beautiful experience an ‘eating event.’

What we are certain about is that you will have an eating event or two or four, every single day.

Increased desires to eat are normal and healthy. Understanding when and how these desires to eat show up in your day can be the start of something very powerful to help you get what you want.

Here’s how to start:

1.) Mark each time you decide to eat or drink something tomorrow.

2.) Add a note of when those events showed up throughout your day (8am, 12pm, 7pm, 9pm).

3.) Complete your entry by journaling where you were, who you were with and how you felt after the meal.

Your eating event log should look something like this.

Eating Event 2 - 2:30pm, drive thru, alone, felt overly stuffed.

Eating Event 3 - 8:22pm, at home, with family, felt satisfied.
