One of the main symptoms of heart hunger is wanting something but not knowing what you want to eat. So you open you fridge and peer in, open your cupboards and look around, and see if you can find something to eat. The book says that most of the time you end up eating something soft like ice cream, donuts, or comfort food (ones associated with good memories). "Heart hunger usually stems from empty emotions, such as feeling depressed, discouraged or lonely." Feelings of boredom and restlessness come into play too. Usually with heart hunger you feel like something is missing or lacking, and you try to use food to fill it. That makes sense, and I can see where I use heart & head hunger. Yesterday I was playing Risk and I got frustrated so I got up and crunched on some chips--totally head hunger. I wanted to punch the person I was playing with but I couldn't so I crushed the chips :) And I wasn't even hungry it was eating out of emotions. I def need to work on becoming more aware of these situations!
Good news is, is that I've been pretty good at watching my food intake (better than last week, but not perfect), and I've been sweating my ass off (hopefully literally) at DDR. I did try some jackets on at Ross and my arms fit it them..which is a good sign! Although I didn't get them :/ they made me lose my curvy shape...not cool.
