Epiphany!

Emotional eater my whole life. After I've been eating healthy for a few weeks in a row, I notice that my body doesn't feel anything from eating. it just feels...neutral. 

After a lifetime of emotional eating, of getting all my feelings from the food I eat, I miss feeling something after I eat. Eating a ton of pizza feels great. Feeling full feels great. Eating fresh cookies feels great. Eating ice cream feels great. At least for a while.

But when I'm eating healthy I feel nothing. So I'll usually go back to eating junk food because I miss feeling those feelings. 

So here's the epiphany:

Neutral should be your body's default feeling after food. You should get your physical highs by exercising rather than eating. 

It's tough to overcome a lifetime of conditioning, but you should be shooting to feel nothing after eating. Or maybe some kind of palate satiation; the good feeling shouldn't be in a full belly. That's the goal. You can then use that unobstructed body to go to the gym or for a walk. 

This blew my mind when I realized it, so I thought I would share. Good luck!

You should eat neutral after eating. That way, you don't need to get your body from the
