Welcome to Thinner Peace and Metapause, a certified master weight loss coach.

And as you know, my wife of almost 38 years, Dr. Deb Butler, or as she is, lovingly known by you and her clients as Dr. Deb.

Today is episode 17.

And she's answering some of your questions today, specifically

on physical hunger scale and how not to eat your way through boredom.

Hi there, everyone. It's Dr. Deb and this is episode 17. And today I want to talk about some of the

questions that I've had from some of my listeners. And maybe you're even listening to one of your

questions today. And I really thought it would be helpful for you because probably if they have these questions, there's probably a lot more

people out there that have the exact same question. So I thought I'd like to cover that today.

And the two types of questions that I'm going to work with today, just so you know ahead of time,

is I'm going to work with the hunger scale a little bit more because she had a

question on that. And I'm also going to work a little bit more on the emotion of boredom and how

that shows up in the kitchen and what I told her to do about it and how it might help you too.

So I think this is going to be a really interesting podcast, and that's why I'm going to

keep inviting all of you to either put comments in with questions so that I can answer them

on the air, or please just feel free to email me at Dr. Deb at Dr. Debbutler.com and just tell me what

your question is and I'll be happy to answer it on the podcast because if you've got this

question, there's a hundred more out there just like it. And by me helping you, I'm probably helping a hundred more people.

So look at it as a way of just spreading the love. Here's the first question that she asked me.

She said, I know when I'm hungry. I know when to start eating. She thinks that she knows what a

negative two is, but she's she knows what a negative two is,

but she's not sure what a plus two is. She said that is it when the hunger pains are gone?
