What if I were to tell you that you can lose weight, and stay at your perfect weight forever just by rethinking one second of your day? And what if I were to tell you that if you consciously change this one second, you will be wealthy beyond your wildest dreams, live forever and have perfect children/pets? Haha. Just checking to see if you were paying attention.

Today's truth is this: There is one second that matters. Only one second. And no, I am not going to say, 'that second is NOW.' Because it might not be now - it might be later, some hours after dinner, or tomorrow at around 4 p.m. It might be when you wake up in the morning.

That moment is what I call The Moment of Hunger. All eating begins in that moment. It's a moment when your stomach is actually hungry, growling even. I'm one of the lucky ones who gets A Moment of Hunger every morning first thing out of bed. But even if you aren't hungry when you wake up, there is in your every day a moment when you are truly hungry. This is a blessed moment. This is the moment that can change your life.

There are two scenarios here. In my book (Lose Your Thighs and Your Legs will Fall Off, available hardly anywhere, on sale this week for the low low price of...just kidding) ahem, anyway, in the book I write of my fictional friends Julie Donut and Julie Orange Juice. I'll rename them here, just for my Limbalovelies.

Meet Roseanne Eatscrap, and Goldy Justright. It's a Saturday morning.

Roseanne Roseanne wakes up not hungry. She gets dressed and starts her day without thinking about eating. At around 10 a.m., she feels a little rumble of hunger and grabs a pop tart. Her day goes on in the usual Saturday way, busy busy busy, maybe fueled by Diet Coke or coffee. At 4 p.m., she's starving, and eats the rest of the box of pop tarts. She's stuffed and feels gross as she makes dinner unenthusiastically, and sits picking at it while the family eats. She doesn't get hungry again that day, but noshes or scarfs her way through a few thousand more empty calories without enjoying them. Roseanne goes to bed feeling lousy, maybe even vowing, 'tomorrow I start my diet.'

Goldy Goldy wakes up not hungry as well. (Fooled ya.) She dresses and starts her day with a cup of coffee, and then a couple of hours later, she realizes she's famished. She sees the box of Pop Tarts and...

SCREEEECH! (That's the sound of her heels on the floor when she catches herself just in the nick of time. Like in a cartoon.)

Goldy stops. She thinks about her body, about that feeling of hunger. And she says aloud (which is okay in Goldy's family because they're use to her by now,) 'Just this once, I won't.' She grabs the biggest shiniest apple in the bowl of fruit that is always on her counter. The juice drips down her chin (oh, you already know this part...) and she feels GOOD. She makes herself a sandwich: beautiful whole grain bread packed full of veggies and just a little mayo, pours herself a big glass of water and sits down to the table to eat. Goldy EATS! and goes on with her day. Four or five hours later, hungry again, she automatically seeks a healthful snack. There's hummus in the fridge, and baby carrots. Or maybe it's baked tortilla chips and salsa today. At dinnertime, Goldy relishes filling her tummy with the good food her partner made. (Yes, I know this was all pretty anti-feminist until now.) Goldy goes to bed that night feeling proud and healthy.

Roseanne went through her day feeling full-ish. She had her one moment of hunger, a couple of hours after getting out of bed, but it slipped by her as she grabbed a pop tart that set the eating tone for her entire day. She went to bed feeling fat and stuffed.

Goldy took that one second and made a decision that changed her world. In that one second, Goldy gave herself a good day. She faced the same temptation as Roseanne did, but she recognized her one precious Moment of Hunger and said, Just this once, I won't.

It's just a second. But it lasts forever.
