Re: hunger is wonderful and so is pain

last night I was hungry...I started to contemplate...

Is hunger wonderful? I didn't feel wonderful...I felt miserable...so I tested my blood sugar. Normal. So I thought...Hmmmm.... is this the time I should forego eating because I might truly be losing weight? So I sat there and worked for a while and continued to feel miserable but I figured maybe a little self delusion was good...maybe hunger truly was wonderful...after 4 hours of that I said....I am hungry and I am miserable and the people in my life would prefer we to be happy. So I ate. And low and behold....I felt good....So, I rested.

Clarity is good.

Hunger is wonderful because it tells you something important--it is
time to eat. Pain is wonderful because it tells you something
important--it is time to find out what is causing the pain so you can
do something about it.

If you are hungry, that is nature's way of saying that your body needs
food and there is no virtue in not eating. (I am not talking about
emotional eating or eating just because something is in front of
you.) We are endowed with the ability to know when we need
something.

Hunger means eat
Pain means something is wrong and should be fixed.
The sense of taste tells us something is good or not good and induces
us to try different things so we get a variety of nutrients.
Sexual attraction causes us to reproduce.
Itching causes us to scratch to relieve the discomfort.
So eat when you are hungry. This doesn't have to mean a supersize
double cowberger with special sauce.

Indeed. Common sense is so refreshing.
