10 Reason You Eat When You’re Not Actually Hungry

1. To cope. But if you turn to food for emotional reasons, you won’t resolve the underlying issues.
2. Out of boredom. But eating can only last for so long—and then you have an afternoon to fill!
3. Because other people are eating. Check in with your hunger level to see if you really need it.
4. Because food is there. If you’re unable to nix the trigger food altogether, move the treats out of sight—you’ll be less likely to grab a handful.
5. Because it’s a special occasion. Celebrations are about the people, not the food.
6. Because you’re tired. A change of scenery might be just the ticket to battle the afternoon lull.
7. Because the clock says so. Don’t just eat when the clock tells you to! When mealtime hits, use it as a cue to check in with your current hunger level.
8. Because it’s free (or cheap). Always check in with your body’s hunger level before you automatically fill your plate with a freebie.
9. Because you can’t say no to food pushers. You can always set the fork down or share the cake with neighbors or co-workers, or simply eat just a small portion.
10. Because you suffer from clean plate syndrome. To prevent overeating, take stock throughout your meal to gauge how hungry you are; you might find that you don’t need those last few bites after all.

Ok.

Stop.

Take a deep breath and put your thinking cap on.

I’m going to hit you with some wisdom, k?

Take your weight loss calorie goal, and just toss that number out the window. We’re not going to talk about that right now. We’re going to talk about that minor (or major) freak out we sometimes have when we’re having a really good week, eating really well, then we lose our damn minds and stuff our faces with delicious delicious junk food.

2000 calories is about what your body needs to maintain your weight and keep all your organs doing all those lovely keeping you alive things that they do. Your body burns all those calories at rest. That means that while you’re sitting on your ass, walking to the fridge and back, scrolling through tumblr, etc etc.. your body is making you breathe and make new cells and shit and burns those 2000 calories.

To gain a single pound, you’d have to eat another 3500 calories on top of those 2000. Thats 5500 calories. 5500 calories is a fucking lot of calories, okay? Lets take a look at what 5500 calories looks like.

• One slice of a large pepperoni pizza from pizza hut is 330 calories. You’d have to eat a little over 2 entire large pepperoni pizzas to hit 5500 calories.
• One crunchy taco from taco bell is 170 calories. To eat 5500 calories, you’d have to eat 32 tacos.
• One double cheeseburger from mcdonalds is 440 calories. 12 of those is 5500 calories.
• 21 cheetos are 160 calories. 714 cheetos are 5500 calories.

Was whatever junk you ate probably a bad choice health-wise? Probably.

Did you ruin all your progress? No.

Did you even eat enough to gain an entire whole pound? Nooope.

Are you going to survive, drink some water, go for a walk or run in the morning, and forgive yourself? Yep. You are.

Know why?

Cause shit happens.

But we move on, and we stay determined, and we get fucking results because thats how bad we want it. You started this journey, and you’re going to finish it. One bump in the road is just that. A little bump in your road.

So, k. Stop freaking out. Forgive yourself. You had a bad night but you’re going to make better choices next time. Now go drink that glass of water, take an advil, do some exercise, and remember that you’re a badass fitblr too full of determination to have any room for fucks to give.

You know how many asks I get a day of people wailing about that? I’ve given up on responding to those asks. LOL.

I know I already used the right picture but I just have to point things out. 

All my friends who are overweight come to me for advice. “Jasmine, tell me your secret! How did you lose the weight?” I always tell them the same: eat healthy and exercise, and you will get there.

But in some strange kind of way they don’t seem to understand me. They understand that a lifestyle change is needed in order to lose weight, but they’d RATHER go on a crash diet to see instant results.

I had a talk with a friend yesterday. She really wants to lose weight. I talked to her all night about how important exercise is. In the end she said: “Ah well, I’ll try eating healthy without the exercise first and if that doesn’t work I’ll go on a crash diet”.

Guys, getting your butt off the couch isn’t hard. It’s fun. But you have to try it first. It will be worth it.

I ignored exercising at first too. And I went on crash diets. In the first picture I weigh 10 pounds less than the second. You tell me which looks best. I’ll tell you which feels best.
