Is it Hunger? Or Just a Habit?

from A Cup of Dri: Fitness Thoughts from My Car to Yours · host Adriana Mastronardi

In today’s episode, I unpack a real moment from my own life coming home from a family event, not hungry, but still reaching for food out of habit. It got me thinking about how often we eat or behave a certain way not because we need to, but because it’s what we’ve always done.I share how awareness is the first step to breaking these patterns and why building a new habit—like going for a walk after events, isn’t about punishment but about replacing what no longer serves me. I also touch on the importance of accountability, and how asking for support (from a partner, a kid, or a coach) is part of the work, not a weakness.If you’ve ever found yourself on autopilot with food or routines that leave you feeling “off,” this one’s for you.
