Break Free from Emotional Eating & Encounter Lasting Change
Many have been left disappointed, discouraged, and hopeless after multiple attempts to lose weight without success. Encounter Weight Loss takes you away from the one-dimensional "food-only" approach and invites you into a deeper journey to address the social, emotional, and spiritual components of weight loss.
This book will help you to uncover the missing pieces of your weight loss puzzle and position you for lasting change. You will encounter yourself (the inward journey), others (the outward journey), God (the upward journey), and health (the physicaljourney) on your path towards permanent weight loss.
With clear and easy-to-understand explanations that dispel the confusion surrounding the science of weight loss, Encounter Weight Loss will show you how to activate your body to work for you instead of against you. You will learn about the root causes of emotional eating and how to identify the triggers and patterns that have sabotaged you in the past. Filled with activations and step-by-step coaching, this book will help you rise above the pull of food and turn to God as your source of strength and emotional support.
You can reclaim your body, your health, and your confidence. It's not too late. Permanent weight loss is within your reach!
I was very reluctant about buying another book as I was worried that I would fail to lose weight ... again. Yet as I learned about the program and found support through the free online support group, what I discovered was a group of women who would support me and not judge me in my quest to become healthier. What I have gained is the support of wonderful women, freedom from cravings, an ability to move more freely, and increased confidence in myself. What I have lost is a substantial amount of weight and a feeling of helplessness and hopelessness.-Carol Hill
I was highly skeptical about reading another weightloss book as I have tried numerous programs. I decided I would take it seriously and change what I was eating. In the past six months, I've lost thirty-five pounds. I have gained good teaching, and many strategies to make changes. What I no longer miss is the sugar highs and lows. The cravings for sugar or unhealthy foods. The times of feeling hangry (hungry-angry), particularly in the late afternoon. I appreciate the holistic approach of Encounter Weight Loss since food is only part of our wellbeing. It examines our emotions, our relationship to food, and the root issues around food.-Lois Popplestone.
I have lost 100 pounds since I started the Encounter Weight Loss program. I now work for a fitness company helping people transform their lives. Thank you for being you and being there in my time of desperation.-Brenda Hoyt Brown
I have been overweight since I was a kid, and had a hard time losing weight and keeping it off. I had developed type 2 diabetes in my 40s. In my 50s I became quite ill with all the complications of diabetes: uncontrolled blood sugar, high blood pressure, and inflammation, which made it painful to move around. Encounter Weight Loss taught me how to eat real food, and making sure I had proper nutrition made me feel so much healthier. I began to understand the issues around food that caused me to emotionally eat, and learning new skills to deal with these issues was something I had never experienced in any other weight loss program before. Now in my 60's I'm healthier than ever before.
