People say, “I really don’t understand why I am always hungry. It’s this crazy thing, like an alien has taken over.” People ask, “Can you shed ‘lite’ on this unexplained phenomenon? How can I kill my appetite?”
\nOur Lady of Weight Loss<\/a> replies, “Instead of trying to kill your appetite and treating it as though it were your mortal enemy, how about making friends with your appetite?”
\nConsider making appetite your friend<\/strong>. Truly, there’s no need for such violence. A valuable, intelligent friend who you pay attention to! Be grateful that you have an appetite! It’s ‘normal!’ Even the skinny-minnies out there have appetites, don’t they?
\nIn the past, you’ve paid attention to only half the signal from your appetite. The “I’m hungry. Feed me.” part. That’s the part of the signal that tells you to eat. (Nothing wrong with your hearing! Again, it’s ‘normal.’)
\nWhen that feeling of hunger first starts to disappear, your appetite says, “I’m satisfied.” It’s important that you pay attention to that piece of your friend’s advice. Did you note that I said when that feeling of hunger FIRST starts to disappear!?
\nThat’s right. You want to stop eating long before you are full. The chances are that once you hit full, you have probably grossly overeaten and remorse is right around the corner.
\n(Personal Confession<\/em>: Before Our Lady of Weight Loss entered my life and introduced me to my friend, Appetite, I would eat until I couldn’t breathe. Gross, indeed! And dangerous, too!!)
\nPay attention<\/strong>. You don’t want to feel full; you do want to feel satisfied. Your appetite is your friend. Your appetite tells you when you are hungry and when you are satisfied.
\nListen to your appetite.<\/strong> Your eating is no longer driven by emotions. Now that you have met your friend, Appetite, you can be in close contact with her as she guides you to ‘satisfied.’
\nNew Point of View<\/strong>: Your appetite doesn’t need to be killed off. There’s no place or need for violence in the Land of Permanent Fat Removal! I hope this explains the unexplainable!
