Being mindful in your daily life helps eliminate the fear of being fat.
Maybe I should restate the above.
"Being mindful in your daily eating habits eliminates the fear of being fat." 
As with most things.. it takes practise! practise! practise!

You are very right, Jenni. To be able to eat mindfully puts US in control of the food not the FOOD controlling us. I honestly do think this is the secret to losing and maitaining the weight loss.
