Ok to be hungry
I know this sounds simplistic, but I was in Phoenix this weekend visitingI laws and had less control over food choices. Suddenly I realized that I could abstain from eating until I was able to find what I needed to eat. This meant that I needed to let myself be hungry for a while and it wasn't the end of the world. New learning for me!
Someone once told me "hunger is not an emergency" and that was such a revelation for me! I get it.
