Why is saying no to food so hard?

There are lots of reasons why you might think it’s impossible to say no even if you’re not feeling hunger:

• You think you’d need superhuman willpower to say no thanks.
• You’ve already tried to say “no” on your own.
• You’ve already tried all those old diets.
• You’ve had trouble saying “no” to food when you were hungry because the diet you were on said that food wasn’t allowed.
• You’ve had trouble saying no to food that you weren’t hungry for, but that you wanted.

And there are lots of feelings that lead you to eat when not hungry.
