- Do you eat when you’re sad, mad, bored, lonely, or tired as a way to feel better?

- Do you feel like you’re eating keeps you from living your best life?

Mindful eating is a simple concept that involves paying attention to the act of eating. It is an inside-out approach to eating that focuses on changing thoughts and feelings first, so that changes in our behaviors will last long-term. It is a flexible approach that doesn’t focus on rules and restrictions of what you “can”, “can’t”, “should”, or “shouldn’t” eat. It doesn’t require weighing, logging, measuring, or recording our food intake. This is also a great approach for people who are at risk for or have been diagnosed with a chronic health condition that is impacted or influenced by nutrition and they benefit greatly by learning sustainable self-management skills that is taught through mindful eating. Over time mindful eating becomes easier with practice, unlike the experiences we have with dieting that can get more difficult over time. Let’s face it, dieting does not work for most people long-term.
Am I Hungry?® (link here) is a proven, effective, interactive workshop based on the multiple-award-winning book: Eat What You Love, Love What You Eat by Michelle May, MD.
