Loving Yourself At Your Own Risk People eat for many reasons. More often than not, however they eat not because they’re hungry, but out of pure appetite. There is a big difference between hunger and appetitie. Appetite is a psychological state. One sees food, so they desire it. For instance, say a person is walking past a bakery and they smell the aroma of brownies and cookies. They may have just finished eating a big dinner, but the smell triggered their appetite. This made them go in, and buy that cook¬ ie that they really weren’t hungry for. Hunger on the other hand is a physical state. The stomach has small contractions. This may make one have an over all weak feeling. Many times, people eat out of de¬ pression.

Almost everyone would like to change something about his her bodies. We either complain about being over weight, or under weight, too tall or too short. We get so annoyed with ourselves that we just give up and over indulge our¬ selves in food. Instead of helping the situation we make it worse. Maybe if we thought of food as a source of nourishment, and not as a means of solving our problems, we’d all be healthier and much bet¬ ter off. Mayer 14 Food
