YUMEE: Your Ultimate Mindful Eating Experience
Next group starts 2/24/2012
Every act of eating can be a choice you make.
YUMEE is a mindful eating group for UNH students who want to normalize their eating behaviors, develop a healthy relationship with food, and stop the overeating, bingeing, dieting cycles. The group will focus more on how to eat rather than what to eat or what not to eat.
Join this group to learn a mindfulness approach to eating that reduces overeating, emotional eating and binge eating. Learn about clinically proven techniques and skills of mindfulness-based eating. There will be opportunities for group discussions, activities to practice mindfulness-based eating meditations on eating, hunger, cravings, and loving kindness.
