Do you eat when you’re stressed, bored, or sad?
Do you snack without noticing that you’re eating?
Do you have trouble not eating certain foods if they’re around the house?
Do you have a hard time not overeating? (e.g. eating until you’re too full)Are you easily enticed to eat, even when you’re not hungry?
Are you tired of the endless diets that don’t work?

Well, of course, you answered “yes” to some of these questions.  And, if you’d like to be more mindful about how, what, and why you eat, consider taking the Eat for Life program.  This program is non-diet approach to rediscovering a healthy and joyful relationship with food and your body.  You can take the class on-line or, if you live in Columbia, MO, you can take it in person.  Classes start September 24.

THIS PROGRAM IS BACKED BY RESEARCH THAT SHOWS YOU CAN BECOME A MORE INTUITIVE, MINDFUL EATER, TREAT YOUR BODY WITH MORE RESPECT, AND DECREASE EATING BEHAVIORS THAT LEAD TO WEIGHT GAIN.

Some of the things you will learn include:

• BASICS  of mindful eating (simple mindful guidelines for eating)
• The  Three Food Wisdoms – no forbidden food, eating the “right” amount and knowing and respecting your patterns and triggers with food
• How  to stop using food as the way to handle your emotions
• How to savor your food and respect your body at the same time

Research on this program has demonstrated that after 10 weeks participants become more intuitive eaters, they have more appreciation for their bodies, they decrease problematic eating, and they increase in their ability to be mindful.  To register or to get more information, contact Craig Dekencsdk89@mail.missouri.edu.
