Mindful eating is about managing temptation, not avoiding temptation, which can help you to address all-or-nothing eating habits.

How big are your portions? It can be a pleasant surprise when you realise that an amount of food you didn't think would be satisfying turns out to actually be enough!

One of my new clients can really relate to this concept of 'data-driven' eating. She's spent years , counting calories and then struggling to stick to her and food rules. She also has a fear of gaining weight, which has kept her trapped in unsustainable food tracking and monitoring. This has historically led to uncontrollable bingeing about 10 days after starting her diet.
She's keen to try a new approach. Mindful eating is about eating in a more intuitive way- no foods are forbidden (it's how much of a food you eat and how often you eat it that counts); it involves practising not eating mindlessly or quickly, savouring food so that you really enjoy it, and stopping eating if you're just eating for the sake of it and before you get overly full. This is honouring the body, and it's most definitely not about trying to eat perfectly. Perfect eating doesn't exist and it's not a realistic approach to food. Restriction leads to bingeing, and this client now recognises that whilst it's an entirely new skill to adopt, she wants to end her vicious cycle of yo-yo dieting for good, and data-driven eating and tracking. She's looking forward to feeling more at peace with food, and avoiding the extreme behaviours of being 'on' or 'off' her diet, and nothing in between. She knows deep down that a more moderate approach to food will be in her own best interest long-term.

Our parents' eating habits can significantly affect our own eating habits and food preferences into adulthood. Foods consistently available in the home can influence children's preferences, so if fruit and veg is widely available at home, this can have a positive effect on that child's consumption and later on in life too (as long as the child wasn't forced to eat the fruit and veg- this could create a negative association with fruit and veg).
Children naturally imitate the eating behaviours of those around them. Parents who eat a wide variety of foods are more likely to have children who do the same.
My client describes herself as a 'picker', and she mentioned that she used to see her mum snacking a lot- her mum could live on snacks and nibbles and not be fussed about meals.
Whether you're trying to lose weight or maintain weight, have a think about any mindless eating habits that drive you to overeat or eat in a less healthy way. What specific habits keep driving your overeating or mindless eating? What might have contributed to you being overweight in the first place? Difficulties losing weight or experiencing weight re-gain might be partly attributed to habits you adopted a long time ago, but which you've never thought about or questioned. You're the adult- what new eating habits would serve you better?
