Many of us are hungry. We're hungry to get our needs met? We're hungry for attention or affection? We're hungry to be heard? But we're also afraid to ask people to meet our needs. These unmet needs turn into eating as we attempt to fill our emotional hunger with food.

There are a few common reasons why we don't ask people to meet our needs. One, is that asking makes us feel vulnerable, and vulnerability can be uncomfortable. Two, is that we're afraid the person will say no. And three is that we don't feel worthy of having that need met. You can begin using the three common reasons above to get clear about why it's been so hard to ask in the first place. A great way to address these issues is to join Shrink Yourself. In the second month of the Shrink Yourself program we help you look at all your unmet needs and carefully analyze how you might be able to get them met in the future. Knowing which reason has been keeping you quiet can help you consider asking, and stop filling up on food from now on. Remember, no amount of food ever satisfies emotional hunger.

I really enjoy all of the articles, I wonder if I can get your book at the bookstore. Everything you say makes perfect sense, I just need to do it.

Yeah...reading the book is great, I did, reading the suggestions are great I have, implementing suggestions and book are an entirely different matter when one is in the throws of that feeling. Can you build a panic button to press---that emits a voice of reason to intercept the behaviors...
