Spot on there vicky!! Absolutely spot on! It's the desire, not the need to eat...just the desire.
The desire isn't scary. Relax into it. You don't have to fight it, just realise that it's the desire of an addict. Accept it for what it is.
Don't distract yourself from it, because it will turn up all over the place and you need to practice not making the desire equal the action.
You are not depriving yourself in anyway by delaying the action, just building new wires to disassociate that particular thought with actually going ahead and eating.
Of course, there's times when you have to eat,

but if you pre-plan them at acceptable times, you'll work out the difference between the addictive desire and the real desire, if you know what I mean.
