@sizzlingmonkeys, I appreciate this post. It accurately describes my struggles with food. For me, eating can be more of habitual response to boredom or stress, instead of a need to overcome hunger.
Keep up the great content! I need it. following

The call of the cookies: priming and how it affects you
Thank you for the encouragement! I read briefly in a book about practicing mindful eating. I forgot the title of the book as I was just browsing in a bookstore, but it mentioned something called "mouth hunger" which is when the mouth is hungry for stimulation but you are not actually hungry and "heart hunger" which is when you eat in response to an emotion, like eating something crunchy when you are upset or something sweet when you are sad. This website describes some different types of hunger: http://www.theartofmindfuleating.com/2015/04/8-types-hunger/.
