The Hunger Habit
By Brewer, Judson
A program proven to heal our relationship with food and our bodies from New York Times bestselling author of Unwinding Anxiety.Sometimes it feels as if there are as many ways to struggle with food as there are foods to eat. Craving, habit, emotions, boredom, stress, anxiety, or just the simple fact that a box of donuts seems to be omnipresent in the break room (free food!) can lead to feeling out of control around food. While anxiety feels like something that happens to us, the pull of food seems like something we should be able to handle. After all, we have to eat! But it's not that simple. The result of this constant struggle - and then giving in or giving up - is a toxic cocktail of shame and self-judgment that makes it feel like it is impossible to change our behavior.
