A short spoken advice piece by TJ Walker explaining that urges to eat or react (e.g., hitting a family member or snacking between meals) can be resisted. Walker clarifies he is not endorsing starvation or disordered eating, but encourages delaying action on urges to reduce their pull and form better habits.

Chapters

We all have urges, but we don't have to act on every single urge. A family member may say something and you may want to just smack them. You've got to fight that urge. You may have had a nice breakfast, it's 10 in the morning, lunch isn't until noon, and you see a muffin, you're hungry. Well, guess what? You can, in fact, fight that urge. Now, I'm not arguing for skipping meals, starvation, fasting, and a food disorder. But the idea that you see something tasty and it gives you an urge to eat, it doesn't mean you have to succumb to that urge. You can simply resist the urge, let a little time go by, and all of a sudden you might not notice you're even hungry anymore. Please follow the TJ Walker habit.
