2. Only eat when you are physically hungry - if you aren’t hungry you have to ask yourself WHY you want to eat, that is, what uncomfortable emotion is driving you to eat (you need to feel that emotion, not eat it).

Thanks so much for your post about how this book helped you! 🙂

I've found this one particularly helpful recently after some distressing news & I ate through the night: about the same amount of calories on top of what I'd already eaten that day!

I also, did this a lot after losing my mum to cancer very suddenly in mid July 2015: diagnosed first day of June 2015 & passed 6 weeks later! It hit me very hard & now my sister is dying of cancer too!

There are a few members of my Duk group who needs to have a look at this. Hope it useful 🙂
 
I've read it and it hasn't cured my food addiction. :( Dr Nowzaradan says food addiction is a choice. I obviously make the most rotten choices. :( I'm going back to Slimming World on Tuesday. 🙂

Ditto my dear, I'm really sorry to hear of your ongoing struggles to combat your food addiction but I'm ever so pleased you're giving Slimming World another try. I truly hope and wish that you are successful in your latest attempt to control your food addiction and to lose weight ~ and similarly better management of your bgs.

I can't go Slimming World, they're making my brother go on a job seeking course despite his dicky ticker so I need to be here. I'm doing it on my own no worries. 🙂 I'm very enthused. I'm listening to Paul again.
 
Yes, I put a lot of weight on when I couldn't walk too well for years. Had op last year and actually love walking so now the snow is out of the way (hopefully) that'll help. Part of the reason I've put more weight on recently is I am self employed and at the end of a long contract I now work from home. I only work 2-3 days a week but those days I do about 400 steps a day! So, I need to work out a schedule of walking before work and an hour after work round the block. Inherited an exercise bike recently but don't like it. Can't work out if it's the bike or maybe should get a fold up walking machine for quick bursts during my lunch break and rainy days. I also, think since doing low carb I crave fat so eat more cheese and nuts but not enough to cause keto: hence fat and some carbs are probably worst combo. Thanks not looked at the book yet as I've just downloaded a free one from book bub. Will report back! Thanks for your suggestions - much appreciated
Good luck with the Exercise bike 😎
