Are you someone who:

•eats large amounts of food, even when not hungry, and feels out of control?, • feels disgust, guilt and shame after overeating? • uses food to comfort or punish yourself; have a love-hate relationship with food? • have tried lots of diets and repeatedly “fall off the wagon” • eats rapidly; feels uncomfortably full after eating?  

Through the practice of mindfulness you will learn how to:  • develop a more natural, balanced relationship with food • reduce the frequency and intensity of overeating; learn how to eat mindfully • develop self-control, self-worth and inner peace•learn how to recognize hunger and fullness • reconnect with your deeper intelligence so that you can rely less on externallimits such as diets, and more on your own inner wisdom.

Beginning Body Mind-Fullness Group for Midlife Women

 

This supportive group will help you return to your healthy, natural weight while you restore and rediscover yourself. You will re-learn intuitive eating with a no-diet approach, use mindfulness practices,
and set self-care goals to:

 • transform your relationship with food and your body  • heal diet trauma  • enhance your health  • promote long-lasting change We focus on the issues and behaviors that are preventing you from caring for yourself the way you want to. Instead of counting calories and focusing on food, we concentrate on enhancing self-care by supporting you in: 

  • working on the issues behind emotional eating

  • increasing assertiveness and setting boundaries
    (taking up space, speaking up, lessening people-pleasing, etc)  • letting go of and clearing out emotional and physical “clutter”

  • allowing authenticity and self-acceptance

  • finding ways to deal with difficult issues as you lessen coping
    through emotional eating  • enhancing play and movement   • paying attention to and following up on medical concerns Our evenings include:

  • 15 minutes - walking meditation and mindful movement (gentle yoga)

  • 30 minutes – discussion about no-diet approach, managing
    emotional eating, mindfulness, body image, and women’s issues

  • 40 minutes - “Circle of Intention” focus on self-care goals
    and intentions  • 5 minutes - sitting meditation
