Welcome to Teach Back Tuesday, where we play the most popular episodes from previous seasons.

This week's episode, Food Won't Fix That Problem, was a very, very, very popular episode.

I got the impression that there were a lot of people who could relate.

Maybe you're a stress eater, or maybe you're a person who eats in sorrow, or maybe you're

a person who eats just to try to solve a problem. Well, I tell you, you've probably heard this saying,

but if the problem isn't hunger, food won't fix that. Something we need to remember, food does not

solve problems other than hunger, but it can add some problems.

You know, when we learn how to recognize the times we're eating for reasons other than hunger,

we can make changes. Let's listen to this episode again. Let me tell you about a time that I was

trying to solve a problem the wrong way. I was in a short-term rental home visiting my

adult children in Minnesota for 10 days, so I had the home as like the home base where they could

come and go and we could do things together, and I could even do home cooking if I wanted to.

It was a nice arrangement. But this one particular evening, it wasn't even meal time, and I wasn't hungry,

but I wandered into the kitchen. Have you ever done that? Can you relate? And then I found a bag of

chips. So I opened up the bag. I measured out a serving, sort of, because the serving size was

15 chips, but everybody knows broken ones don't count, right?

Then I needed something sweet to offset the salty.

So I wandered back into the kitchen and found a box of ginger cookies and took a short

stack of those and walked away munching.

Next, I opened the fridge.

I was in the kitchen again, and I had a wedge of sharp cheddar cheese.

Really strange combination going on here, but most of it was mindless.
