Manage Your Feelings
1> Start becoming aware of your "emotional hunger."
2> Acknowledge the emotion- feel the feeling.
3> Reframe- What are you really hungry for and how can you get it better ways?
"If hunger is not the problem, then eating is not the solution."

Soups On!
I like soup
I do
I would eat it in my house,
I would eat it with my spouse,
Before a meal, I'll have a cup,
I like the way it fills me up.
In a hurry you can see
On the go it satisfies me.
It warms me up when I am cold
and can help me lose, so I am told.
I can make it when I do Core,
If I'm hungry I'll have some more.
When counting points I make it low,
So I'll have plenty of points to go.
I really like it I must say,
I will eat it every day.
Have a "souper" week.
