Week 6
Don’t let your thoughts and feelings sabotage your weight loss program!

The presenter, Jeannie Edwards will help participants identify the emotional states that for them cause overeating. Participants will then begin to recognize the cognitive messages that keep them from succeeding in losing weight. Once those cognitive messages are discovered, participants will learn how to change these messages, leading to a positive change in emotional state.

Jeannie will also introduce participants to other techniques for changing attitudes and emotional states which sabotage their weight loss programs. Among these are creating covert messages, and building repertoires of alternative behaviors when distressed and craving food.
