I had the honor of speaking at a 'Mindful Eating' group last night and I can only hope that they enjoyed it as much as I did! It was so interesting listening to the speaker as she touched on all of the things that I have had to teach myself. Where was this class when I was losing weight?! :-)
Through my own weight loss journey I have had to learn what my eating "triggers" are, change my negative thoughts, and also work through getting discouraged at times. By no means am I perfect, I will always be a work in progress, but it is encouraging to know that all of these things are struggles that others face.
Many people have a love/hate relationship with food, but the ultimate goal is to get to the point where you can enjoy it, but without going overboard and without feeling guilty afterwards! This is the exact reason that a lifestyle change is the answer. The key is balance.
