I should start by saying a lot of this is not new information to someone who has been struggling with food issues their whole life. I'll follow that by saying a lot of it is COMPLETELY new information! The thing that is unique about how this app works is that it teaches not only the what but the WHY! If you're a learner or someone who needs that why like I am this is a revelation. The lessons are also broken down into wonderful bite sized pieces and have a beautiful flow to them and a connected follow through of "what to do with this information" that is usually lacking. I have found that most of the programs that I've tried have either given information with no direction on what to do with the information or they give a list of "dos and don'ts" with little to no education on why. At the end of week one I remember the lesson mentioning that this is not an intellectual quest to think things out, but simply learning to connect with our body and emotions. (Something like that) Its very true too! The joy and power in this program is that it helps connect us to those emotions and sensations that we've spent a lifetime squelching with food! At least for me this has been a revelation!

In this last Week I have begun to notice more of my habit loops and where I am letting my body sensations dictate my actions. Instead it will be more helpful and healthy to recognize the body sensation, accept that it is happening as then become curious about it. Noting any feelings I am having at the time. Once I slowed down to take these simple steps I begin to understand more that I have been just mindlessly eating out of habit or boredom or stress etc. being involved with this app and the community of real people I am slowing and taking note of this happening. After this first week I have begun to enjoy my meals, eat smaller portions because I eat slower, I feel full before I’ve eaten the whole meal. Before this experience this week I would eat one helping and then go back for more. I even used the exercises in this app to eat only 3 salt & pepper wings, 1/2 cup of fried rice and one egg roll at a lunch with co workers. Before having the tools I have now I always had triple that because the food is so great tasting and probably full of MSG. I was full after the three. This program like any other will give you back what you put in. I highly recommend it!

I can’t believe how effective this program is. Judd clearly understands the basis of unhealthy habits and has created a comprehensive tool backed by science to help guide you toward self-realization and control over the deeply ingrained habits that can rule your life. When I tell you I’ve done it all- I mean it- I am a professional yo-yo dieter. I even tried semiglutide- before realizing that I was just substituting one set of disordered eating habits for yet another- possibly risking my future health while doing so. This is not another diet- in fact there’s no restriction or tracking contained in the program. It is like having a psych coach in your back pocket. One week down and I’m feeling better than ever. At first it may seem like there’s a lot to unpack- if it were a book you might want to skip to the end to see “where the diet is” but the beauty there is there’s no diet! Just follow each day, use all the tools, and you’ll see for yourself. Judd also has a book- I read that first and then decided to get the app. I’m glad I did. Trust me when I say this is not another trend.

I can’t believe but I am actually figuring out how MY mind works and how it’s tied to my body. Not only in regards to food but throughout my life!! I can relate to the examples throughout the program when I thought I was the only one who would starve oneself all day and then make bad choices from 5:30-10:30. It was affecting my sleep and then I would punish my self the next day by repeating the loop. It was not working and I would just continue as I didn’t know any better! I was mean to myself and continue the punishment. This program has taught me true self love and understanding how my mind and body are connected. I have lost weight but not by counting calories, not starving myself, not restricting myself to only eating certain foods. I have lost the weight by implementing mindful habits not only when I’m eating but throughout the day. Most important being kind to myself! thank you so much! Now 55 and I have been on this roller coaster for my entire life and now I feel free and empowered. Thank you again.
