Most people who experience mindful eating, who pay attention to what they're eating, bite by bite, sensation by sensation, really enjoy and benefit from the experience. But it's often very difficult to stay with it for very long. Thoughts and feelings arise that quickly take us away from mindful eating and before long, we re-engage in old, mindless eating habits. This can be very discouraging and demoralizing. 


What happens to our sincere desire to stay in the present moment and eat what we're eating when we're eating it? Why does our desire to eat mindfully so often get hijacked when we so sincerely want to change? What invisible forces keep those habits in place and prevent us from prevent moment awareness? What can we do to help ourselves learn about these forces and learn how to work with them? This teleconference focuses on learning about cravings, how they operate and how to work them when practicing mindful eating.


Participants will:

1 What does it mean to "Wrestle with Desire?

2 What are the 3 desires/cravings that take us away from mindful eating?

3 What are some of the key ways of working with these desires/cravings?
