I'm dealing with more of the "how much food do I really need to sustain or diet" question. I'm hoping to get to the underlying feeling someday! :) Hi Diane, interesting about the whys.

Hunger is a physical sensation that I perceive in a real, tangible way. (ie: stomach growling, etc.) Appetite is more of a "want" sensation. The two can occur together, but appetite, or the need to eat when I'm not hungry, can occur alone. As I was on my weight loss journey, I found that really paying attention to the "whys" of selections I was making helped me overcome some of my tendencies to eat beyond the point of fullness. It took me a long time to overcome it, and even to this day, 12 years later, I still have to watch myself! I'm glad you are feeling better and that you were able to maintain your weight loss. Congratulations! .-= Diane Fit to the Finish´s last blog ..<a href="http://www.fittothefinish.com/blog/2009/11/dont-get-up/" rel="nofollow">Don’t Get Up</a> =-.
