So when you are in a really good rhythm of just like listening to your body cues for hunger and fullness and eating when you're hungry, stopping when you're at that comfortable fullness, you're probably a lot more mindful about what you're eating, and most people don't enjoy overeating. It's awful. If we can start to make some changes and trust ourselves with food, then we can start to make some changes and trust our body and eat intuitively.
