I've been really working on eating intuitively lately in hopes that it will help me continue along in my weight loss journey & get my weekend binges under control but I still find myself waiting to eat even though I'm hungry just because its not an acceptable "mealtime" per say. Then I read something today on Tumblr that really stuck with me that I think could help to remind everyone, including myself, that you're supposed to eat when you're hungry & why it is important to do so: "respect your body and listen to its signals. You can't live a fulfilling life if you're trying to walk around empty." (From user rebuildingmandz)
If you're hungry for your dinner at 4 pm then eat your dinner at 4pm. If you feel shaky, dizzy, tired, wobbly & you haven't eaten recently, have a snack! Low blood sugar can be a scary and possibly dangerous thing. You aren't doing yourself any favors by ignoring your hunger cues and you certainly aren't "weak" for eating something when you are hungry, you are simply nourishing & respecting yourself like you always should. Treat your body well, it's the only one you get!
