It is expected that you’ll eat past comfortable fullness if you haven’t eaten enough. If you haven’t eaten in too many hours. If you’ve not been able to meet your energetic need. If you’re avoiding foods that satisfy for the sake of the foods you might feel you ‘should’ eat and enjoy.

This is expected. This is not a moral issue.

And if this happens, know that you won’t always be full.

Wait.

Then eat again.

Especially if you’re not a fan of the uncomfortable fullness that follows not getting enough, regularly incorporated food. Or the less happy digestive process that follows irregular energy intake.

Empty isn’t good. Full isn’t bad.

Your body knows how to handle food.
