Oh my, all those years you've been missing a essential ingredient in life, the joy of being hungry.
I almost never eat unless I am hungry. I love to be hungry....or should I say I enjoy having a slight edge on my desire to eat. Hungry is a negative word for most of you.
To me, having a edge on my desire to eat food...a mild hunger.... is absolutely essential before I eat. I will go out of my way to avoid food after lunch just so I won't ruin my dinner "hunger"....
If I make a mistake and eat something in the afternoon.....within a few hours of dinner, then my dinner is so diminished in enjoyment.
Can I say it again, I love my "hunger"......
People who snack or eat all these mini meals in their efforts to avoid gaining weight, absolutely ruin their appreciation of eating because they never allow themselves to be ready to eat a full satisfying meal.
Gosh, it would be like expecting to have sex at 8:00 PM but then going out and doing some sex-snacking at 4:00 in the afternoon......
Whats that going to do to that 8:00 pm encounter.... certainly won't be the same...
Hmmm? good analogy? not so sure???
Anyway, I love to allow my desire for food to grow over the hours between lunch and dinner.
Now, there are times I will have a small after noon snack with tea, but normally if I do that at 3:30 pm, you won't find me eating dinner until 9:00 pm or later.
If you allow yourself to get that "edge" in your desire for food, soon you begin to cherish it....and even take steps to avoid ruining it with snacks and the like....
OK.......Thats what I like.....
Oh one last thing. When you always feed your system, when not needed, you totally screw up your body's sensing system. That natural ability to listen to your body.
