Jennifer Hudson Quotes

Why is it when you're dieting, you crave everything?

I used to eat because food tastes so good. I love food, it's one of the best things on this planet. But I changed the way I was thinking. I started asking myself, 'Hey, am I eating because it tastes good? Or because I really need some more? Am I really still hungry?'

I try to feed my hunger rather than my appetite.

I've learnt that if I tell myself I'm not allowed something, I binge on it later. So if I want chocolate, I have chocolate. If I want biscuits, I have biscuits. I love cake. I just love cake.

I get miserable if I don't eat.

Why do we get so angry at ourselves when we eat foods we love? Do you think guys walk around going, 'I just ate a cheeseburger and I'm so mad at myself?'

But I don't do the diet thing anymore. I'm a big believer in feeding your body what it needs. Deny yourself something and you're going to end up shoving your face full of it.

The appetite comes as you eat.

For many of us, eating has surprisingly little to do with hunger. We eat out of boredom, for entertainment, to comfort or reward ourselves. Try to be aware of why you're eating, and ask yourself if you're really hungry - before you eat and then again along the way.

My appetite comes to me while eating.

I think hunger is a natural state of being for most people. I mean, hunger is a desire - and you don't only have physical hunger, you have emotional hunger. A lot of my hungers are, in fact, emotional. I think a lot of fat people's hungers are emotional. There are things we very much want, and it can be so difficult to satisfy those hungers. Yet we try. We try so hard.

You have to find a balance with food in your life - you can't take out food. It can be absolutely terrifying.

Appetite as it relates to the human being, the person. How do you find appetite for what you do? How do you relate to appetite? How do you get appetite, not only for a meal but also to do the work you do?

Compulsive eating is an emotional problem, and we use an emotional approach to its solution.

I can't deprive myself of things because then I obsess about it and end up eating.

All food is comfort food. Maybe I just like to chew.

Why can't I just eat my waffle?

I try not to diet because it never really works for me, if I tell myself I can't eat something then I tend to want to eat everything in sight.

I was a mindless eater. I ate for comfort. I also ate out of boredom and habit.

I have cravings all the time, even when I'm not pregnant.

If I was having a bad day, eating was like self-medicating. But if you abuse food, you still have to use that substance that you abuse every day. You have to learn to use it responsibly.

One of the key things I did to stay on my diet is I never allowed myself to get hungry. As soon as I got hungry, I'd eat healthy foods.

I'm obsessed with food!

I'm not a foodie - I'm an eater: I'm hungry.

The one thing that's broken inside of me is that I've lost the signal most people have to feel hungry or feel full.
