Today I choose to be Hopeful about the difficulties in my life. You can choose to join me in doing this. Wisdom from a member of a forum I frequent:
“Situations don't MAKE us eat, stress doesn't make us eat, being exposed to certain foods doesn't make us eat, etc. They all increase the DESIRE to eat even when there is no true hunger. It would be nice to be able to avoid situations that make us desire food, but good luck. Just having the desire doesn't make us eat, either, anymore than feeling the urge to urinate makes us relieve ourselves as soon as we feel it. And just because relieving themselves (after waiting until an appropriate time and place) feels good, most people don't purposely drink more and more just so that they can feel that good feeling again. “
