What's the difference?

Food eaten out of genuine physical hunger, and food eaten when full out of a running away from a life we are not yet satisfied with - What's the difference and why is it important?
There are two types of enjoyment when it comes to eating. One is the enjoyment derived from food when full. Food when full is always eaten out of habit or addiction. There is always an underlying need to escape from our emotions with this kind of eating. 'I just love food.' Is what I often hear. And yet my reply is always. 'You can be slim and still love food. Your enjoyment of food, in fact increases by losing weight this way - the way of stopping when full.'
We often equate greater quantity with greater pleasure. But food eaten when full, we come to realise is not so comfortable after it has moved past the taste buds and is physically making its way towards that already full stomach. Stomach ache, being bloated and indigestion not to mention the inevitable excess weight are the unpleasant side effects of eating when full.
So, this Christmas season and throughout the new year, lets take our resolutions to a new dimension - awareness. Let us all be aware of when we are eating from genuine physical hunger, and let's notice how the quality of that enjoyment of the food, differs from the eating when full that is our old habit that we are even now shaking to its very core, and over 2011 replacing with the wonderfully healthy and pleasurable - I am hungry, I eat. I am full, I stop eating.
