Welcome to the Psychology of Eating podcast, where food and body challenges are the doorway into a happier, healthier life.

Now, here's your host, eating psychology expert and founder of the Institute for the Psychology of Eating, Mark David.

Welcome everybody. I'm Mark David, founder of the Institute for the Psychology of Eating. Here we are in the Psychology of Eating podcast, and I'm with

Amina today. Welcome, Amina. Thank you, Mark. I'm glad we're doing this. I'm glad we're in this conversation.

If you could wave your magic wand, get whatever you wanted with food and body, what would that be for you?

To be healthy and fit. Yeah, I feel like those are my aspirations. To be healthy and fit, where are you

right now in your level of health and fitness? Do you feel like you're not healthy and you're not

fit? I feel like I'm getting that, but I keep straying off track and I think that's the issue that I'm dealing with right now.

So you're moving in a good direction and you get off track. So what would a good direction

look like for you if you were being healthy and fit? How do you, what does that look like?

To eat whole um, wholesome, natural foods, um, that really nourish not only my body,

but also my, my soul.

And I think, um, also incorporating some daily amount of exercise and maintaining that.

Are you looking to lose weight?

I don't think, I think for the longest time I was looking to lose weight,

but at this point, I just actually want to feel confident in my body.

And if that means losing weight, sure.

But yeah, I think that's where I'm at right now.

So you're kind of happy with where you're at.

But if you lost weight, you wouldn't complain.

Yeah.

Agreed.
