What? PB &J? Is this episode all about the beloved peanut butter and jelly sandwich? No, not really. This week's episode is all about handling the URGES that come when you've built a habit that doesn't serve you. When you have created a pattern of dealing with negative emotions, or consistently repeated an activity...like eating in front of the tv at night, your body responds to the cues around you with URGES or cravings that are the result of your habits. And now those urges feel like they have to be answered. Like an itch that NEEDS to be scratched, you've set yourself up to eat chips when you feel stressed, or when you sit down to watch your favorite Netflix series because the URGE is always there. To undo that urge we need to remember PB& J.
