Mind Hunger vs. Real hunger!

[Guest guest]

There an interesting article on p. 81 of the new Feb.'04 Prevention

magazine....it talks

about how we confuse mind hunger, which has nothing to do with food, with body

hunger, which does. Mind hunger is endless, bottomless, erratic. Like when you

pass a bakery and want an eclair, even though you just ate breakfast. Anyhow,

the

article talks about how we lose the ability to easily distinguish real physical

hunger,

and we continually succumb to this mind hunger thing, and the author gives

suggestions for dealing with this and raising your awareness on this important

issue.

As the article points out, eating when you're hungry is NOT what causes weight

gain...you put on pounds when your body has no need for food and you eat anyway.
