Weight loss and self esteem programme
ARTICLE BY CLIVE FEARON Weight loss and self esteem programme
It is my clinical experience that more and more of us are becoming obsessed about our bodies, with weight being the focus of our growing dissatisfaction.
Data from a number of researchers has identified self-esteem difficulties not only having a negative effect on exercise behaviour but also being a significant contributory factor in the onset and development of eating disorders.
Using this as a basis we developed the Body in Mind structured Programme to help women develop a stable internal sense of self.
This programme offers much more than weight loss – it’s about being in control of not just what you eat, but also what you think and feel. Yes, women on average do lose 8 to 10lbs on the programme but what gives it long lasting value is its focus: it goes beyond the physical confidence that we all experience when we lose pounds, and teaches how to generate the inner confidence necessary to meet those everyday challenges that wear you down once the euphoria of losing weight has gone.

Run over 10 consecutive weeks (1½hours each week) this programme has, since 1997, successfully helped women to lose weight by reducing their comfort eating. The programme offers a solution to those seemingly inescapable feelings of guilt! We help you to embrace positive feelings of self-worth as you take more effective control of your eating. Book Now, or Contact us to discuss.
Each week of this structured programme builds on the previous week and the inches are lost without dieting. There is no esteem-sapping weekly weigh-in or finger-wagging facilitator telling you to try harder!
The atmosphere within the programme environment is warm and supportive: over the years we have listened to our clients and formulated our programme content so that it focuses on the most common reasons why women say they comfort eat. We have devised coping mechanisms and strategies to combat these causes.
The programme is able to genuinely empower you to say ‘goodbye’ to dieting forever, as you develop inner confidence and take long-term effective control of your eating. Book Now, or Contact us to learn more.
Each group member is given their own copy of the programme documents, containing thought conditioning techniques at the end of each section. The pack also includes a timeless food diary to chart your progress on the programme and beyond.
