Overview

Food is complex. Overeating is even more complex. Both can cause problems. We have learned to solve the problem of eating with even more food. And we've learned to solve the problem of overeating with diets. This book is about unlearning the solutions to overeating that has become a problem in its own right and about learning a new habit: eating with mindfulness. This book is for people who overeat and people who diet too much. Most people who want to lose weight see a diet as the only solution. For them, it's a short sprint to weight loss, not a lifetime marathon to better health. When you start dieting, you think tactically, not strategically: you don't think about a lifelong commitment to a lifestyle, but about mobilizing just enough motivation and self-discipline for a quick, hungry sprint so that you can get back on track. fits into a certain piece of clothing, for example, jeans you wore during high school or a wedding dress, or that bikini from before you were pregnant. I want to emphasize it again; the mindful versus mouthful approach is not a diet but can be used as a support. It's a way of life. The mindful versus mouthful approach is useful in both the weight loss and stabilization phases of weight management regimens and other overweight programs. Mindful eating is a method you can teach yourself before starting a diet again (if you need to in the future). In this book, in which I show you how to learn to eat mindfully, I promise you the following. I am not asking you to count calories or to omit certain food groups from your diet or to eat specific products, or to eat less or more or to exercise more. I'm just outrageously tolerant. I'm going to ask you to enjoy new flavors and textures. I'm going to ask you to do crazy but fun eating exercises. I'm going to ask you to play with your food and with your mind. Remember, you have the rest of your life to work on this problem! So, go to work and take comfort in the knowledge that the success of the mindful versus mouthful approach does not depend on your willpower and self-discipline but on the human ability to reflect on your own experiences as they happen, You, the reader, and I, the author of these experimental ideas, are now going our separate ways. From here you have to do it yourself. Remember, though, that you have the power of mindfulness and the support of your eating philosophy to help you do that. I wish you good luck!
