If you want to become thin, think as your thin friends do. The Hunger-Satisfaction Scale (shown below) can help you learn how to do this. Every time that sit down to eat a meal or a snack, ask yourself where you fit on the HSS scale. In the ‘thin world’, you would remain between a four and a six most of the time. This is the secret to how thin people always appear to be so in control of their appetites.
Hunger-Satisfaction Scale (HSS): 10: Stuffed to the point of feeling sick (“Thanksgiving-full!”) 9: Very uncomfortable, tired 8: Uncomfortably full 7: Feel you have eaten just a little bit too much 6: Comfortable, satisfied 5: Just noticing the first signs of hunger 4: Hungry, ready to eat 3: Very hungry 2: Extremely hungry, irritable 1: Starving, can’t concentrate, dizzy
