Oops. I put my question in the ropic area. Want tips on mindfulness and eating beyond hunger.

For me, mindful eating had to be practiced. Again and again. As diligently as I’d practice piano before a recital. I use the 10-point hunger scale to assess when and how much I should eat. The low end is hungry and the higher numbers relate to how full you are. I only eat if I feel hungry and I check in a few times during my meal and stop eating at about a 6.

It’s a simple method, but not always easy. Just remember, every meal or snack is an opportunity to practice these skills until they become ingrained.
