Judy had struggled with yo-yo dieting for many years before she was introduced to the Am I Hungry? Mindful Eating Program<\/a> by her family physician.<\/p>\n

Before that, she thought she just didn’t have willpower. “What I didn’t get for a long time is why<\/em> I was eating. I would eat if I was bored, if I was frustrated, if I was stressed. I would eat things when I was just thirsty.”<\/p>\n

\"NothingDuring the holidays, Judy recognized the surprising power of eating what she loves and loving what she eats without<\/em> depriving herself.”I enjoy food! I like to eat! I have a sweet tooth.” With Am I Hungry?, she realized that she could still eat her favorite foods. “I do not ever anymore beat myself up for anything I’ve eaten.”<\/p>\n

Judy describes an experience with mindful eating at a Thanksgiving buffet right after she started the program.<\/p>\n

“I chose the things I wouldn’t normally have available, and things I really, really liked. I passed up things that were just mediocre. I totally enjoyed what I picked. I went to the dessert table where they had an array of these two bite things. I didn’t feel stuffed and miserable. I had enough to eat, and I enjoyed what I ate. That’s how I operate now!”<\/em><\/p>\n
