True or false:
is it possible to eat healthy and not worry about gaining weight while in college?

According to psychologist and eating disorders specialist Dr. Susan Albers, the answer is true, and in Mindful Eating 101, she reveals tips for successfully navigating unlimited buffets, avoiding stress eating, managing weight anxiety, and putting an end to mindless eating. Anything but yet another fad diet program, Mindful Eating 101 looks instead at how to have a healthy relationship between food, body, and mind, allowing you to develop mindful attitudes and routines that will stay with you throughout college and beyond. If you have ever worried about the freshman fifteen, obsessed with a diet, or stressed over getting enough exercise, this book will help put your mind at ease.

Discussion Questions:

1. The campus environment can help or hinder your efforts to eat more mindfully. Discuss the specific elements of your university or college that impact your eating (ex. Buffet dining, fast food close by, vending machines in your dorm, competitive environment).
2. If your campus could create a healthier environment, what would you recommend?
3. What aspect of your daily life makes it most difficult to eat mindfully (a tight schedule, friends who also mindlessly eat, worrying about food etc.)
