Are you tired of the constant struggle to lose weight?
Do you lose weight, just to gain it all back (and more)?
You want to be lean and healthy, but sometimes this seems to be a struggle you just can’t win. You worry that you will always be fat and that you will have health problems because of the extra weight you carry. You are embarrassed to look in mirrors, to shop for clothes (in Plus sizes). It is hard to find clothes that you feel confident wearing. You may avoid social situations.
You feel helpless to succeed, and yet you keeping hoping. You start out strong, highly motivated, but you can’t seem to stick with it long enough to lose all the weight.
You try diet after diet in hopes of finding the solution that will work for you. The right diet and exercise program can and does help, but frequently that is not the whole answer. You may have attempted to start a number of new healthy diet and exercise programs in the past, but ended up overwhelmed and unable to stick with any of them.
You hear comments about your size from your family, from friends and even from complete strangers in the grocery store, and often you feel judged rather than understood and supported. Those helpful friends and family members may mean well when they try to give you advice, but they don't really know the struggles you go through every day.
Still you are overweight. While that new diet and exercise program may be the latest and greatest, it cannot resolve the patterns of behavior that are causing the overweight issues in your life. That diet and exercise program may work well with some people, but with your specific body, environment, background and thought patterns, the flaws in the system become immediately obvious.
This is not your fault. An “off the rack” standard diet and exercise program may not work for you until it is custom fitted into a weight loss solution for your special needs.
There is hope!
About the program:
Customized Cognitive Therapy Weight Loss Treatment - Individual or Group:
During the course of this structured program, you will learn about the necessary key skills to lose weight, and keep it off. You can learn how to cope better with cravings; how to get info to plan nutritious meals and snacks, begin to prevent binges, start disconnecting the "emotional eating", and learn the tools to challenge those thoughts that get in the way of successful weight loss and healthy eating. You will also be introduced to stress management skills, how to comfortably increase physical activity, how to manage social pressures to eat, and how to maintain motivation habits for lifestyle changes to become lean for life. All of this takes place in a supportive and encouraging atmosphere.
How is this customized cognitive therapy different from other weight loss programs? Cognitive behavioral treatment has been shown to be the most effective treatment for weight loss. This is a scientifically-based program developed after years of research on the most effective approaches to weight loss. (and Faith Winters has lost over 100 pounds herself on this program) With most diet plans or popular weight loss programs, individuals regain most or all of the weight lost because they don't learn the necessary "relapse prevention" skills. Cognitive behavioral treatment is different from other weight loss programs because it combines effective weight loss treatment with lifestyle change and skills-building to prevent weight regain and to improve self-esteem well beyond the end of treatment. Faith’s CBT program is customized to the specific needs of each each individual.
This is not just a weight-loss group, this is a lifestyle change program. Unlike other weight loss programs, cognitive-behavioral therapy will teach you about how to change the way you think about and relate to food and physical activity. The skills you will learn in cognitive-behavioral treatment are effective not only for weight loss, but also are likely to provide you with other benefits from improved happiness, more energy, less self-consciousness, less anxiety and depression, and more self-confidence. This customized cognitive therapy program works to make most any healthy eating and activity program more effective and increases your ability to have long-term success.
