The difference between emotional hunger and physical hunger.

We know that emotional hunger comes on suddenly it hits you in an instant. It feels overwhelming and urgent. Physical hunger, on the other hand, comes on more gradually.

Emotional hunger craves specific comfort foods.

And emotional hunger often leads to regret, guilt or shame.
