Workshop 2 - Eat with Emotional Intelligence
Losing weight by listening to your body is incredibly simple. 'All' you need to do is follow a few simple physical strategies on what, when and how much to eat, get some regular physical activity, and weight loss follows.Although the scientifically based principles of weight loss are incredibly simple, that doesn't mean they're easy to do.
In reality we eat for so many different reasons besides physical hunger, including emotional and other non-physical triggers that push us to the pantry when we're not in the slightest bit hungry.
That's why I produced my Eat with Emotional Intelligence Workshop, based on the simple techniques that helped me to stop binge eating, lose 28 kilos and keep it off for over 10 years.
In this interactive workshop you will learn:
- How to tell the difference between physical and non-physical hunger
- How to get to the bottom of emotional overeating and shake it out of your life
- The psychological technique that kick-started my journey to a thinner, happier me and how to put it into action in your own life
- A highly effective strategy for eliminating all the rubbish you tell yourself and replacing it with kindness that will help you to nurture your health and happiness
- Learn how to give yourself what you really need so you no longer need food for emotional support
- How to get your life on track for the way you want to live. When I learned this technique I was astounded by the positive effect it had on my life
- Two simple ways to make an extra hour of time every day so that you can do the things you really want to do
Testimonial - 'I feel like I have had a massive breakthrough'
Hi Amanda
I feel like I have had the most amazing couple of weeks since your emotional eating seminar. I feel "released" by reminding myself that weight is the 'gravy' and life is the meat & potatoes.
I am working towards my life goals and I am feeling so much better having something else to think about other than weight which was previously all consuming.
I read my castle & my goals every morning ( I have them on my blackberry and they pop up automatically first thing in the morning).
I am enjoying focusing on my appearance NOW rather than waiting until I lose weight and next week I am getting my hair blonded. I have always blonded my hair when I feel skinny and kept it less blond when I feel overweight. I guess this is my way of hiding. But in the spirit of 'fake it until you make it' - bring on the blond hair.
I have a whole lot of other goals - which I wont share with you as they are very personal, however I am focused on these also.
I have also realized that my negative self speak is "off the charts" - I am using the flick technique (as opposed to rubber band) and can't believe how many times a day I flick myself.
OK, now I know weight is the gravy and I am keeping this part low key in my head, but I have lost 1.8kg over the last 2 weeks.
My eating is super stable and I am focusing on my hunger and I haven't really felt the need to emotionally eat. I had one instance where the boys were getting the better of me and I had 2 pieces of fruit toast when I wasn't hungry. I started berating myself but then stopped these thoughts and reminded myself that weight is the 'gravy' so the fruit toast in the grand scheme of things was not a big deal. The "old" me would have got upset about this, felt like I 'blew' it and I would have kept eating. The new me was kind to myself and told myself that weight was the 'gravy' and the whole thing was such a non-event.
I feel like I have made a massive breakthrough and I am building a castle rather than digging a very large hole!
I am really looking forward to the next 2 weeks and focusing on my castle, and I feel completely inspired.
I'll speak to you soon. I hope you are well and are seeing a lot of success stories coming from your emotional eating seminar.

"Dr Amanda Sainsbury-Salis brings a touch of reality as well as a good healthy dose of scientific understanding to her approach to weight control. Not only is Amanda amongst the best scientists in the world in obesity research, but she has been through the problem herself and found that the standard recommendations don't necessarily work - particularly for women, who are much more complicated creatures than men. You'll find this a refreshing approach in an often very tired old field. I thoroughly recommend it."
