I agree about having to watch the episodes. I saw three or four of them, and would still watch more if I could. In posting this I wasn't trying to teach it to people, but to give them something to look for, and hopefully, just knowing there are only 4 easy steps willencourage others to check it out. I’ll have to check out the recommend, romblogreader. :) Thanks

You rate your hunger on a scale of one to ten, one being "if I don't eat soon, I'm seriously going to pass out/dizzy/stomach gnawing hunger" and ten being that post Thanksgiving Dinner "if I move I'm going to barf" kind of stuffed. 5 is totally neutral, not full, not hungry. The trick of the book is to always make sure you wait until you're at a two or a three before you eat, and then pay attention to your hunger and stop when you're at 5. Many of us start eating when we're at a four and stop when we're at 8, or wait until we're at a 1, then stuff ourselves to a 7. The single most important thing I got from that book was the idea that you've got to get more comfortable with experiencing a little hunger. Not that you want to fetishize it in an eating disorder way, of course, but teaching your body (and your mind) that nothing horrible is going to happen if you spend a couple hours at a 4 is a good thing. She recommends keeping a hunger journal for a week or two, doing an hourly, conscious check of okay... honestly, where am I right now? Myself, I'm currently at a 6 (because my lunch was too tasty). And I've got about half my lunch left. If I finish it, I'll probably be at an eight, so I'm going to put it in the fridge and wait, and chances are, by the end of the day, when I'm back to a 3, I can have some more and it'll be much tastier. There's plenty of other smart stuff in that book about the biological reasons that it's harder for women to lose weight than it is for men, but it's the idea of trying to learn to live my life in the 2-5 range (rather than the 5-8 range) has been the biggest takeaway for me.
