Amanda--- hey girl! I actually have read tons of books on automatic eating and impulsive eating. Here are a few things that completely rung a bell with how I do things: instead of gauging your hunger by how your body feels, an "automatic eater" (or emotional eater, etc) will often times take cues from "time" or "environment" instead of bodily cues.
for example: you are are accustomed to eating lunch every day at noon, if you work in an office. many of us will eat right at noon, regardless of if we are even hungry (say, due to a big breakfast). this is a "time" cue, which we need to stop. pay attention to your BODY CUE.
another is environmental cues. for example, are you used to coming home from work, turning on the tv and raiding the fridge? most of us aren't even hungry right when we get home---yet we do this because we are ACCUSTOMED to the environmental cues (getting home, tv sounds, kitchen, familiar space).
let's try to listen to our body-cues instead of these others!!
