I recently came across this scale from the book Eat What You Love. This approach seems far more appealing than my weight scale, which can either bring screams of joy or make me say, “You’ve got to be kidding me.” I can see this scale helping me distinguish between wanting to eat and needing to eat.

I’m discovering that taking the time to question my state before and during a meal, and then listening to my body for signals, is a key tool in my practice of mindful eating.

So far, my true cues for being hungry are my stomach growling and a lower level of energy. Additionally, for me, true hunger comes on gradually, unlike the sudden onset of “hunger” when something emotional stirs.
