When your relationship with food becomes stressful, we start policing ourselves around food. You think things like: “I shouldn’t have eaten that” “Wait now, so I can eat more later” “Be careful” and many more negative thoughts!    Where does mindfulness come in? The answer is: in many ways!    If you’re interested in getting a bit more in tune and peace around eating, listen to this guest episode where I discuss mindfulness with Merrit Elizabeth.   Merrit is a Certified Eating Disorder Recovery Coach based in Dallas, Texas who specializes in anxiety and eating disorders.
