A Weigh Out

Trade emotional eating and desperate dieting
for the life you were truly meant to live!

Are you spending way too much time thinking about food and your weight?  The desperation…and compulsive focus on food, overeating, dieting, and body dissatisfaction can be all-consuming!   Have you considered whether food and body dissatisfaction thoughts are actually a way to avoid other uncomfortable feelings, situations, people in your life? (A focus on food and/or body diverts our attention from anything else we’d rather not tolerate!)

A Weigh Out, and its founding organization Acoria Eating Disorder Treatment, have been working with emotional, compulsive, and binge eating issues since 1993. Founder Ellen Shuman is the Vice President of the Binge Eating Disorder Association and Co-Chair of the Academy for Eating Disorders Special Interest Group on “Health at Every Size”.

A Weigh Out is not a diet or weight loss website. We strongly believe that healthy people come in all shapes and sizes.  Our emphasis is on healthy, balanced living; emotional, physical, nutritional, and spiritual health, not on how much you happen to weigh on any given day! There’s so much more to life!

Here’s how can we be of help to those who struggle with emotional, compulsive, or binge eating, or feel they have a food addiction. We provide Telephone Coaching to people worldwide. On this website you’ll find a supportive Membership Community called the A Weigh Out Circle, with private support groups, forums, 52 Weekly Empowerment Tools, a Member’s Emotional and Binge Eating Blog called, “Weigh This Instead!”, an audio and video library, and much, much more. To learn more about our philosphy, listen to “Ellen’s Welcome”, under her picture . To learn more about Membership offerings and a FREE 21-Day Trial, click on any “Join the Circle” Icon on this website.

We also invite you to join us for a FREE one hour telephone seminar about emotional eating . It’s open to anyone who is struggling and wants to explore ways to stop mindless emotional eating…and begin mindful living (new seminar dates are posted regularly).  If you live in the Greater Cincinnati area, we also offer individual Therapy, in person. (Therapy is the appropriate level of care for some people vs. Coaching)

We welcome you to join us for a new adventure, packed full of new and wonderful possibilities…

Inside our Membership Circle, find hope, connection, and freedom from binge and compulsive overeating.Explore
