Eat When Hungry: Discovering My Golden Circle

Discovering My Trigger Foods, Part II

A couple years into my weight loss, all looked well from the outside. I had lost half my weight; I stabilized at a healthy weight; and I radiated improved wellness.

On paper, my numbers looked comfortable, controlled, and predictable. The patterns looked like successful maintenance.

I had even started to get a few comments about my success in maintaining my weight loss. These unsettled me. I felt like a fraud.

Inwardly, I was flailing on the razor’s edge, about to tumble off into a chasm all too eager to devour me back into the 97% failure rate.

I knew this space intimately. Looming failure always won. I clung to the sharp edge of success, barely making it day-by-day. I was missing something, but I did not know what.

Then, I came into a direct standoff with what I did not yet understand: Eat When Hungry.
