The 12-Day Weight Loss Doesn’t Have to Suck Challenge!

How to Stop Emotional Eating

I get to enjoy ALL foods, and I never have to diet again.

My only job is to listen to my body. My body will tell me when it needs food, and when it's had enough.

I'm building my relationship with myself when I tune and and listen to my incredibly wise body.

Day 8 Power Statement:

Listening to Your Body for Weight Loss

Your body is telling you it's truly hungry when:

  • Your stomach feels physically empty

  • You notice gentle growling or gurgling

  • You're getting distracted from what you're doing

  • The hunger sensation isn't going away

  • A simple meal (like a sandwich) sounds good

You’re probably not actually hungry if:

  • You'd eat chips but would turn down vegetables

  • You're just worried about getting hungry later

  • You're "wondering" if you're hungry

  • You're craving one specific food

  • No physical hunger signals - just want to eat

You're at that perfect "satisfied" spot when:

  • Your mind starts wandering from your food

  • You could comfortably go for a walk

  • Your stomach feels content but not stretched

  • You're questioning if you need more

  • You'll probably be good for 3-4 hours

Quick tips for success:

  • Take a 5-minute pause halfway through your meal

  • Put your fork down between bites

  • Remember: There's always more food coming when you're truly hungry again!

  • It's okay if you overeat sometimes - just notice and adjust next time

  • Be kind to yourself as you practice this new skill
