If you are trying to lose weight this time of year it can be challenging. The socializing centered around food and drink, the baskets of goodies dropped off at your office - not to mention how stressful it can be to decorate, find parking, shop amongst the madness find the perfect oufit for the christmas party and please all of your friends and coworkers by attending their parties all while feeling quite frazzled and garnering enough energy to take a second to think about our food choices.During this potentially stressful time i wanted to share with you two articles by amazing women and pioneers in their approach to treating disordered eating and compulsive eating patterns. Take a moment for yourself and a deep breath :) and check these out :
"The Logic of Binging" By Michelle Morrand
Michelle is the founder of Cedric Centre located in two locations in British Columbia.
Check out their website for more info : Cedric Centre
Jean L. Kristeller PhD wrote an article for Spirtuality Health magazine called "Making Every Bite a Spiritual Practice" which describes her work with binge eaters. Using meditaion to create a connection to their thoughts and feelings, Kristellar teaches participants to both gage their hunger and connect with what is stimulating that hunger (feelings of depression, sadness, anxiety, boredom) The method she has developed is called MB-EAT or Mindfullness Based -Eating Awareness TrainingUnfortunately the article is not online but...... you can purchase it here. Or pick up a copy of 'the SOUL BODY connection' at great book or magazine shops :)
I hope you enjoy these articles and you find more than a moment of peace to appreciate all this time of years brings.
In health and happiness,
Erin xo
