Opportunity to be a Case Study for Binge Eating Disorder.

Do you desperately want to stop emotional or binge eating and start to eat well and feel healthy?

I'm currently training to work with women who are struggling with emotional and binge eating and I need a client to work with as a case study.*

The Eating Freely Program is a 1:1 program that comprehensively addresses all aspects of a disordered relationship with food, setting you free from guilt and shame around food, habits and your body.

*As a case study, I would need your consent to give my trainers some non-identifying feedback about my experience of using the new material with you.
In return for you being my case study, I'm offering this new program at a special reduced fee.
If you are tired of struggling with emotional eating or binge-eating disorder and you are interested in being my case study client , please send me a private message or email me at shirleycopeland123@gmail.com

So many people have shame around eating, feel guilty when they eat treats, have difficulties when it comes to nourishing their bodies or maybe they are too embarrassed to eat in front of other people. They might know the calorific value of foods but have little idea of the nutritional values. Maybe there's a "Good and Bad" list running through their mind whenever they see food without realising that a lot of food facts are outdated. But, even bigger than that, is how people see themselves and their own bodies. The judgements of the inner critic can be extremely harsh and people have such shame and guilt that they never talk about it.. or say things like, "I feel so guilty! I had a big piece of chocolate cake - I dread to think how many calories were in it. I'll have to be good now for a month !" If you're struggling with body or food shame and you'd like to change your relationship with food and your body please reach out to me. There's also a full list of IPE trained and registered MIND BODY EATING COACHES on http://psychologyofeating.com (IPE - Institute for the Psychology of Eating)

"Your relationship with food is a beautiful lifelong journey. So please stop cursing it, and start blessing it..."
