Yes, we eat too much, but fear not, it’s not going to be yet another eat less, eat X, and lose weight email.
And we start with a self-learning experience.
Are you hungry now?
Probably not, right?
I am not.
Look at the photo and just observe what’s happening.
Tasty, right?
No?
Try this one:
Aww, that looks tasty too.
I am not hungry at all but when I see that burger, I’d just like to take a bite. Ok, seriously, I’d just munch the whole thing in one go.
And afterward, the cookies are mine too. mmmm freshly baked cookies… I might be faster than the cookie monster.
But why would I eat?
Because there’s more than one hunger and they are not equal. Buddhism mindfulness is far ahead again and knows 7 types of hunger.
And frankly, only with two, we shall eat.
What they are, how to deal with those, and more, you’ll learn in the next emails, or if you want to skip the waiting time, grab a copy of our mindful eating book.
