acronym (HALT)???

Can anybody remember seeing an acronym to help you figure out if you're really hungry,
or if you're tired, thirsty, bored or upset?
You're supposed to stop and really think about how you're feeling BEFORE you eat anything.
It really works for me when I take the time to do it.
There's a word that ties them all together.
I thought it might be H.A.L.T.
Hungry
Anxious
L???
Thirsty, but tired needs to be in there somewhere,cause it's a huge stressor for me.
Maybe the L stands for lonely?
Anyway, if anyone remembers, help, please.
I need it to do a cute little Valentine thing for my
weight watching buddies.
Thanks.

OH MY, so glad you mentioned this...this HALT saying has been a vital part of coping with the struggles to stay OP....very easy to recall, and so helpful in any challenge. maajida

This is good to remember, although for me, overeating still just comes from food tasting to blasted yummy that I want to keep eating and eating... What's the acronym for that one? LOL
