Personal Evaluation
1. What have you learned about physical hunger and how it applies to your personal eating behaviors? When I'm hungry, I eat. I don't deprive myself. Physical hunger doesn't mean I have to eat an entire 5-course meal, but it does require me to snack and nourish myself so I can continue throughout my day comfortably.
2. Are you still experiencing times of physical hunger? How often? Do you think you might need to increase your level of physical activity? If so, how will you do this? I do experience physical hunger, after 2-3 hours of eating. I eat approximately every 2-5 hours a day, and this prevents me from feeling too hungry, but also prevents me from feeling 'stuffed.' I do need to increase my daily physical activity - and I want to start (again) by doing 5 minutes/day on the elliptical trainer 5-7 days a week.
3. What have you learned about how you react or respond to your own emotional "hungers"? How has this affected your progress? When I feel emotionally hungry, I usually give in and try to satisfy my desires in whatever way I want. If I was sad or happy or mad, I would give in to my emotions and comfort myself with food in outrageous quantities. It has been a challenge for me to overcome these habits, but with time and practice, it's gotten easier.
4. Can you identify any negative statements you are making concerning your emotions and how they affect your eating behaviors? List them. Now, for each negative statement you listed, create a true positive statement to replace it. N/A
