A WEIGH OUT…An End To Diets and Out-of Control Eating

Presenter: Ellen Shuman

Everyone knows Diets Don’t Work! Finally, someone explains why diets are destined to fail.

This presentation focuses on understanding and breaking the self-defeating cycle of diets and out-of-control eating. Participants will learn about “Energy Imbalances” vs. “Emotional Eating” and will determine if either is at the route of their body dissatisfaction. They’ll also learn about the latest research into the connections between food, mood and brain chemistry. And we’ll explore how these connections play a role in chronic overeating.

We know diets don’t work!Now it’s time to learn what to do instead.

Body Image/Self-Image: Why The Scale Dictates Our Mood

Presenter: Ellen Shuman

Does what you weigh impact how you feel about your self all day long?

Do you dislike parts of your body? When you are invited to do something with others, do you ever find yourself thinking about your size… or the size of the people with whom you’ll be socializing?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, you are certainly in good company. In 1995, a study found that when women spent just 3 minutes looking at models in a fashion magazine, 70% reported feeling depressed, guilty and shamed.

This presentation explores the interwoven and overlapping development of Body Image and Self Image… and offers positive interventions to women who are tired of letting a negative body image effect every single aspect of their life!
