Telephone Seminars About
Emotional Eating
and Binge Eating

Participating in an Emotional Eating Seminar, by telephone, may seem like an unusual way to learn about how to conquer this frustrating problem. Actually, it's a great way to share new research and understanding with people who wish to change old emotional or compulsive eating habits.

"Conquering Emotional Eating" will address:

• How to stop the exhausting cycle,
  "I'm either eating out-of-control or I'm dieting!"

• Where do you fall on the Emotional Eating Continuum?

• Why can't you stop emotional eating, even though you hate the consequences of the behavior?

• Can a person learn to self-soothe and not use food?

• How does a person begin to change?

• What will change look like?

• Practical strategies for overcoming compulsive
  and binge eating

• Where do people find resources for change?

(Free materials will also be emailed after the seminar to all who participate .)
