What is appetite? It is the longing or yearning for something especially desirable. Appetite arises from previous pleasurable experiences. Because both hunger and appetite entice us to eat, they are frequently confused. Unfortunately, hunger is not required for eating - appetite alone is enough inducement. And, it takes only a little food to abolish hunger, but we continue eating because of appetite. And therein lies our main concern.
A good way to address this issue is to visualize two jars. The way I see it is that each day you have to fill both jars. One is the physical jar. That one represents hunger. And it is not very large. The second one is the emotional jar. It represents appetite. This one is almost always larger than the physical jar. What most of us do is overflow the physical jar in order to fill the emotional jar. And that is why we gain weight. Next time, we'll discuss this in detail.
