My Mindful Eating Journey: How I Transformed My Relationship With Food & My Body

For years, I struggled with my eating habits. I was constantly switching between restrictive diets and emotional eating. I’d start the week motivated to follow the “perfect” meal plan, but by the weekend, I’d find myself mindlessly snacking or eating out of boredom or just because I thought I should. I knew something had to change, but I didn’t want another short-term solution. I wanted a sustainable, healthy relationship with food - that’s when I discovered mindful eating.



The Turning Point

At first, it sounded too simple. Could paying attention to how I eat really make a difference? But I was willing to try. I began by slowing down during meals, setting aside distractions like my phone or TV, and focusing on the food in front of me. For the first time, I took more notice of the textures and flavours of my meals. I also started tuning into my hunger and fullness cues, asking myself, Am I actually hungry, or am I eating out of habit or emotion? It wasn’t easy at first. I realised how often I turned to food for a way to distract myself. But instead of judging myself, I chose curiosity and self-compassion.


Learning to Let Go of Perfection

One of the biggest lessons I learned on this journey was to let go of the “all-or-nothing” mindset. In the past, I’d label foods as “good” or “bad,” and if I slipped up, I’d feel like I had failed entirely. With mindful eating, I learned that every meal is an opportunity to nourish my body and enjoy food, without rigid rules or judgment. I also discovered that no food is off-limits. Instead of restricting myself, I practiced eating with intention. If I wanted chocolate, I’d have it - but I’d eat it slowly, savouring every bite. This small change helped me feel satisfied with less and stopped me from spiralling into overeating.

The Results

As I practiced mindful eating, I noticed incredible changes - not just in my body, but in my mindset and overall well-being.

  • I felt more in tune with my body, knowing when I was hungry and when I was full.

  • I stopped overeating and started enjoying all food without guilt.

  • My energy levels improved because I was choosing foods that nourished me, not ones that just filled me up.

  • Most importantly, I felt free from the endless cycle of dieting and emotional eating.


The weight I had been trying to lose for years began to come off naturally, but more than that, I gained confidence and peace around food.



Why I Now Help Others

This journey transformed my life in ways I never expected. I realised that mindful eating is about so much more than food - it’s about reconnecting with yourself and creating habits that support your physical and mental well-being. That’s why I’m so passionate about helping others do the same. I know how frustrating it can be to feel stuck in unhealthy patterns, and I also know how freeing it is to break those patterns for good. Through my coaching, I guide others to develop their own mindful eating practices, empowering them to transform their relationship with food and themselves.
