Challenging Thought Patterns That Lead to Weight Gain

The focus of this program is to learn and explore strategies and skills based on the principles of “mindfulness” for losing weight, maintaining weight loss, and decreasing metabolic health problems. Our thoughts can have a significant influence on our experience of stress, the way that we view ourselves, our bodies and our lives. Thoughts also form the basis of our beliefs in being able to manage our weight, or not. We can begin to observe the nature of our thoughts, recognize that not all thoughts are true, and choose to challenge rather than automatically believe our thoughts. This gives us the opportunity to engage in powerful and productive thinking, supporting our goals and efforts.
