Mindful Eating Mastery: Transform Your Relationship with Food

Discover how mindful eating can transform your relationship with food and help you break free from dieting with insights from Molly Zemek.

Hey friend! I recently had such an enlightening chat with Molly Zemek, an author and life coach who helps people create freedom around food.

She shared some super helpful insights around mindful eating, ditching the diet mentality, and getting to the root of emotional eating triggers.

A few big takeaways:

- Overeating is often tied more to emotional appetite than physical hunger. Figuring out those deeper needs is key.

- Dieting often backfires long-term. Restriction leads to rebellion and overeating. Approaching food from a place of abundance is more sustainable.

- Mindful eating helps you tune into your body's signals so you can nourish yourself appropriately. It takes practice, but you'll get better at noticing when enough feels like enough.

Molly also talked about the role of scarcity mindset in overeating and how our past stories around food can unconsciously influence our habits today.

I'd love to hear your biggest struggles or lessons around mindful eating! Getting curious about our patterns is the first step.

And if you want to learn more, check out Molly's book Decoding Your Emotional Appetite.
