Our second interview with Mindful Eating Facilitator Dawn Hopkins did not disappoint! Topics covered—
*Mindful/intentional eating
*The Am I Hungry Hunger Scale is a great tool to incorporate into your eating habits. It’s time to eat when you’re around a 2 or 3 on the ten-point scale—and it’s time to stop around a 5 or 6.
*Dawn taught us the “Mind/Body/Heart” exercise to take a pause before eating and getting into the mindful mindset.
*Dawn walked us through important considerations around our eating experience: environment, breathing, aromas, small bites, gratitude, putting the fork down, staying present and aware during the meal, pausing to reassess hunger in the middle of the meal.
*We went through a “fearless eating” exercise to fully experience eating for enjoyment, not just nourishment. What FUN!

Dawn is planning an eight-week Mindful Eating Workshop starting in February 2022. To be sure you are informed of the details about that workshop, contact Jan James through our website (https://www.hopeafterbreastcancer.com/contact-us)
