A mindful eater is nonjudgmental, compassionate and above all aware of the taste, texture and process of eating. Being mindful means knowing exactly how your body feels at all times. You are so closely in touch with what is going on inside that you know the exact moment you are satisfied rather than stuffed or starving by learning the why, what, when and how you eat. -Susan Albers

IF YOU ARE VERY CONCERNED ABOUT WHAT YOU EAT OR THINK YOU HAVE FOOD ISSUES/DISORDER:
If you suspect you have food issues, it is very important to consult with a professional. A physican, psychologist, nutritionist or other mental health professional who specialize in eating concerns are wonderful resources. They can help you assess whether or not you have a significant food issue and join with you to find ways to cope/deal with it. In Eating Mindfully, (page 155-156 & 3-5) Dr. Albers explains why talking with a professional is important. Sometimes people who suspect they have an issue avoid talking with a professional due to fear or not being quite sure who can help. Consult this website for more information: www.edreferral.com
