Summary
Mindlessly eating may seem like a fun, enjoyable, relaxing, or comforting thing to do, but is it really? Yes you get to shut off your mind and eat, but what really happens when you do that? In this episode, I'm showing you what happens.
You don't have to completely focus on your food and nothing else in order to gain the benefits of mindful eating but there are some things you can do to make sure you don't eat a whole bag of chips without realizing it. Listen in as I show you how.

| 0:21.5 | apply in your own life. I'm your host, Kirst and Sarty. Now let's get to it. Hi, how's it going? It is |
| 0:31.6 | snowing over here and man am I loving it. I'm so glad I don't have to go out in it. Scraping off cars after |
| 0:39.9 | multiple inches of snow and ice is no joke. Totally forgot about all that after living in California |
| 0:45.7 | for so long. But lucky for me, I just get to sit in my home and watch the beautifulness. |
| 0:51.0 | So freaking pretty. All right, let's get on with today's topic, mindless eating. |

| 1:30.0 | I didn't even remember eating any of it, which was so disappointing because I was looking |
| 1:35.0 | forward to enjoying those chips. When you're eating mindlessly, you are paying no mind to your food. |
| 1:41.0 | You are letting your mind go blank. Or you are using your mind but focusing it, |
| 1:45.9 | not on the food, but on something else. If the food you're eating is a joy food and not a fuel |
| 1:51.6 | food, then the whole reason why you're eating it is to experience some pleasure. But if you're |
