Hungry or Thirsty?





When I first started eating with a mindset of , I discovered something that shocked me. I was in a habit of heading for the kitchen as soon as I sensed messages from my stomach or my mouth that said, “I want something!” Notice that they didn’t say, “I’m hungry.” They just wanted something. The rumblings were probably more in my head than in my stomach, but off I’d go the kitchen.

After I started thinking with as mindset of a thin person, I’d stop in the middle of the kitchen and ask myself, “At what level of hunger are you now?” Silence. There was no real hunger, just a craving for something.

Then I tried drinking water instead of taking food, and about 90% of the time, the craving would go away. As it turned out, I was thirsty, not hungry, but my mind had learned to interpret any kind of craving as a craving for food.

More and more often I found that a drink of water would satisfy my “hunger.” Most of us don’t drink as much water as we need.

If I was still hungry even after drinking water, I’d have something to eat. But I’d put my hunger to the water test first.

    What happened to you is often happened to most of us. What you did by drinking water instead of eating food is right to prevent over weight. If we eat is based on what we want to, not based on what our body need, so we just wait for over weight, don’t we?
