Day 31- The Hunger Scale

From 100 Days of Weight Loss (Spangle)-

Focus Question: "How do you decided when you are hungry?"

Spangle introduces the-

3 POINT HUNGER SCALE

 0  Neutral- not hurgry, not full
-1  little bit hungry
-2  very hungry
-3  Starving, way too hungry


It is time to become more aware of this and it is time to be more prepared for when I do get hungry. When I let myself get to the -3 and I am way too hungry I don't make the right food choices for myself. I resort to eating what ever I can get my hands on and most of the time it is not healthy choices.

So, my action will be-
  • Start being aware of what my hunger signals are
  • Write in my magic notebook what the sensations are when I feel hungry
  • Respond to the hunger in 20-30 minutes so I don't get way too hungry
  • Have healthy foods on hand so I don't go on a search and eat everything in site mission

LISTEN TO YOUR BODY!
NEVER GIVE UP ON YOU!
YOU CAN DO IT!
JUST ONE MORE DAY!

Always,
Mer
