Mindful Eating

 There is no icon of a very boring yawn or I would add one!  

I attended an 8 hour workshop free where I work on Mindful Eating.  It should have been a great presentation, but the speaker was very poor.  She might be a pychologist, but she could she could not translate what she knew into something pleasant to hear.  She could lead the exercises, but I am so disappointed.  To make it worse, the speaker kept say "I" instead of sharing client histories in a meaningful manner to say it worked.  

Has anyone on here read a good book about mindful eating?  I know the speaker referenced the Am I Hungry program a lot.

Note:  mindful eating is about slowing down & meditating over your food.

That's too bad it wasn't more interesting or presented in a better way.  At least it was free? 

I think Beck talks about it some in her book "Beck Diet Solution".

Might also check out the "Shrink Yourself" website (don't remember the url or I'd link it).

I highly recommend any books by Geneen Roth. The first two books I read by her years ago were "Feeding the Hungry Heart" and "Overcoming Overeating".  More recently, I read "Women, Food and God" and I'm just about to read her latest book "Lost and Found - Unexpected Revelations about Food and Money".

All of it is definitely related to slowing down and being "present" when you eat. She's compassionate and well spoken & has been overweight herself. 

  agree with Jolena.
Geenene Roth has many to choose from and fast reading.
