I was on vacation when I caught myself trying to fix a problem the wrong way. It wasn’t meal time and I wasn’t hungry, but I wandered into the kitchen anyway and opened the bag of sea salt potato chips and started munching. I sort of measured out a serving size of 15 chips, but the broken ones don’t count right? Then I needed something sweet to offset the salty, so I ate a short stack of ginger cookies. Next, I opened the fridge and had a wedge of Wisconsin sharp cheddar. When I came back in the kitchen an hour later and opened the can of cashews, I said this to myself:
“Food won’t fix this.”
And then I put the lid back on the can of cashews, turned off the kitchen light and left the room. I was trying to solve a problem that wasn’t hunger, but I was eating as if food would fix it. It would never work.
Sometimes our wrestling matches with food habits are related to this quote: "It’s not what we’re eating. It’s what’s eating us."
Food doesn’t solve problems, but it can add a few. If we learn recognize the times when we’re eating for reasons other than hunger, we can make changes. Let’s consider three common reasons why we eat when we’re not hungry, and what we can do instead.

I actually sat down with a cup of coffee (more like sugar and creamer with a hint of coffee) and a powdered sugar donut before listening today. Thank you for these insightful, possible reasons for bad eating habits. I’m one of those all-day grazers and, unfortunately, all the ready-to-grab snacks are not healthy choices. After listening to the podcast, I realized that I ”stress eat” AND ”bored eat”. Acknowledging the problem is the first step to getting better. I needed this today. Thank you! ❤️

Very good! I used to find myself eating for some of these reasons, and even now, if I’m not careful, I will go get something to eat without thinking or praying. I put myself on a strict diet for awhile just to help discipline myself plus to lose weight. I am praying daily for God to help me on this healthy way of eating. Thank you for the encouragement Francie!!❤❤
