You’re Listening to The Nourish and Nurture Podcast: A Weight Watcher’s Journey, Episode #105, Triggers and Habits.

We all have triggers and habits. When you want to eat because of triggers and habits, we call it head hunger because it is not rooted in a physical hunger and need to eat.

A trigger could be a food itself. A trigger food is a specific food that sets off a course of overeating where control is lost. Habits can be along something like always having popcorn at the movies or wanting to avoid a dreaded activity, and you have the habit of eating so that it sidetracks you.

You can work so hard to change a response to a trigger or change a habit all together, but once in a while they will pop up to the surface. Don’t beat yourself up over it. It happens. You’re human. The trick is to at least cultivate an awareness about these things and have a strategy to stop it next time.

In this episode get some tips on dismantling these triggers and habits. Miriam shows you how she tackled some of hers.
