In the western world choosing when to eat has become less and less to do with actual hunger.
More often it’s about habit, it’s about routine, it’s about comfort, it’s about entertainment.
And that’s not always a bad thing.
But it’s worth noticing and paying attention to.
“If you’re not hungry enough to eat an apple... then you’re not hungry”
This old wives test serves as a timely reminder each time you reach for a snack.
If you’re not hungry enough to eat an apple, that’s ok, but acknowledge and recognise you are probably choosing to eat for another reason.
