I am new here and I truly believe in the possibility of change. I am eager to start the plan but I can see some of the limitations already in my trial week. First, it seems there are bugs tu fix. Every time I pull up one of the training videos, I get stuck and I have not been able to pass from the 5th. This defeats the purpose of organizing my day around my 10-15 available for this. Second, I tried to watch the meditations and they would not open. Third, when I open the community, is hard to follow the thread of the conversations in the journals, not sure yet how to follow and in which order, I guess is not intuitive. Many of the reviews are >2 years and I am not sure if the app was updated and in that process it became slower/developed glitches or who knows… I read the book and this is a great opportunity at a low cost that’s is easily accessible everyone, including those who have health care barriers, but the app needs much improvement for it to continue working, and sadly, I am not sure if I would purchase the subscription because it already feels frustrating.

This program seems deeply researched and well organized. I came to it ready to fully participate but I’m put off by the persistent use of the word “unhealthy” to describe habits and food, particularly sweet food. For a program that’s all about mindfulness — essentially, paying close attention in a nonjudgmental way — this is a tremendous blind spot, subtly encouraging users to constantly judge themselves. This is distracting and disheartening. There’s just too much right and wrong/good and bad built into this app for it to feel truly welcoming, especially for people who’ve worked to recover from eating disorders. I’d recommend doing some research into recent science and scholarship about eating disorders, food justice, intuitive eating, and the ways that diet culture is frequently repackaged as “wellness.” This program would work so much better with an upgrade to remove the judgmental stance.

This app is a powerful tool if you practice the exercises offered. As a meditator for a long time and someone who recovered from an eating disorder many years ago I was curious to explore this app. My one point of feedback is that Judd uses the term “unhealthy” food a lot in the lessons but some people don’t struggle with eating tons of junk food they just eat food impulsively or unconsciously to soothe emotions. I would suggest that the word “unhealthy” is an unnecessary judgement. All food is just food. All food simply has more or less energy and nutrients. Placing a judgment on a food as “unhealthy” can set up internal judgement about being a good or bad person for eating “healthy” or “unhealthy” food. It is important to know that sugar is addictive but that doesn’t make it inherently “unhealthy” it is just fuel. My understanding is that the whole point of mindfulness is to bring awareness without judgement. To me it seems labeling things “healthy” or “unhealthy” is in direct opposition to the core principles of mindfulness.
Again I think this app is a wonderful tool. Just don’t get caught in the trap of judging yourself if you eat something “unhealthy”
