STRONGER AFTER SIXTY WEIGHT LOSS
Am I Hungry… or Just Triggered?
💡
THE TRUTH
Most overeating isn’t caused by real hunger…
It’s caused by triggers—emotions, habits, and environment.
And once you see it… you can change it.
🍽️
TWO TYPES OF HUNGER
✅
PHYSICAL HUNGER (REAL)
- Comes on gradually
- You’re open to simple, real food
- Stops when you’re full
- No guilt after eating
⚠️
TRIGGER HUNGER (NOT REAL)
- Comes on suddenly
- Craves specific comfort foods (sugar, salty, junk)
- Feels urgent (“I need it NOW”)
- Keeps going past full
- Ends with guilt or regret
🚨
COMMON TRIGGERS
- Stress
- Boredom
- Being tired
- Emotional moments (lonely, frustrated, overwhelmed)
- Habit (same time, same snack)
🛠️
THE 5-MINUTE PAUSE TOOL
Before you eat:
- Drink a glass of water 💧
- Wait 5 minutes
- Ask yourself:“Would I eat something simple like chicken or eggs right now?”
✔️ YES → Your body needs fuel → Eat a real meal
❌ NO → It’s a trigger → Pause and choose differently
💬
REMEMBER
You don’t need more willpower.
You need more awareness.
Awareness = control.
