Breaking Free from Compulsive Eating

Learn why you eat and what's eating you.  Emotions trigger overeating, but diets do too. Any attempt to restrict food for weight loss, can trigger compulsive eating.  So what's a person to do?  In this workshop participants learn a new way of eating and thinking, which resolves overeating.  Normal eaters without weight problems eat according to their body's natural hunger signals.  Compulsive eaters constantly criticize their food and themselves.  For example:  “This is fattening.  Why are you eating this?  Why can't you control yourself? Learn to eat according to your hunger signals, beating yourself up for your food or weight, and release overeating.
