this journey has taught me - Hunger is a Gift.
people can't tolerate feeling hungry and that sets us up for failure.
society has it backwards, and that too sets us up for failure.
Hunger means you're healthy.
Hunger means your digestion is working.
Hunger means your metabolism is functional.
when we lose weight, people initially think "oh my god he's sick".
when a person is Sick, they lose they're appetite.
"he's sick. he's not eating. he has no appetite."
when people are emotionally unwell, they don't eat.
then, when emotions are stable, the appetite returns.
we have it all backwards.
Hunger is a gift and deserves to be nurtured, taken care of and maybe even celebrated.
hunger is not the focus of the fight.
it's our behavior, psychology and culture that should be the focus of the fight.

What an interesting way to think about it.

marketing also brainwashes us to think we need to fight and defeat hunger. and when news and media talk about "starving children and people going to bed hungry"..........that's a conversation about poverty and extreme poverty. not a conversation about fortunate, privileged people who can't keep their hands out of the bag of chips or stay out of the drive through.
