“From the opening chapter, author Michelle Lawton had my attention. Reading “Moderating a Love Affair with Food: 10 Tips to Mindful Eating and Drinking” gave me permission to enjoy and think about food pleasurably and guilt free. 
Do yourself a favor and buy this book and learn to love yourself again. 
Follow Michelle’s smart tips and gain balance in the kitchen and in your life. Some of my favorites are: “Eat slowly: enjoy the aromas, tastes, and texture of your food”, “Eat or drink for you, no one else” and “Treat yourself with respect”. Indulge in Michelle’s writing and indulge in your favorite treats without regret.”

“Mindful eating is not for everyone, but it does work for some folks, especially a population that is willing and able to make discretionary choices. In my practice, I’ve told people it’s ok to eat everything you enjoy as long as you can manage frequency and portion size. I can’t think of a better place for you to start than with Michelle Lawton’s insightful new book.”
