Eating With Your Stomach VS Eating With Your Brain

One of the first things you need to learn is how to tell emotional hunger apart from actual hunger.

If you're wondering if your hunger is emotional, ask yourself:

• Did it come suddenly?
• Am I craving something specific?
• Am I planning to eat a lot even after I'm full?
• Am I focusing in specific flavors, textures or smells?
• Is my stomach feeling empty or making noises?

If you answered yes to the first four questions and no to the last, you're emotional eating.
