Eating Quote by Geneen Roth
““When you are not hungry and decide to eat, choose a food that you ate that day when you were hungry. Be aware of: 1. how the food tastes 2. how the taste was different when you were hungry 3. if you enjoy it as much as when you were hungry 4. what, since it’s not hunger, you are feeling 5. how you know when to stop eating””
