New Workshop: Eat with Emotional Intelligence
Losing weight by listening to your body is incredibly simple. 'All' you need to do is eat when you feel comfortably hungry (and only when you feel hungry), get some veggies and fruit into your diet every day, and do some form of regular physical activity.Although this method of weight loss is incredibly simple, and although you'll never struggle with hunger while you're doing it, that doesn't mean it's easy.
In reality we eat for so many different reasons besides physical hunger, including the emotional triggers that push us to the pantry when we're not in the slightest bit hungry.
As someone who spent six years struggling with binge eating, I know how it feels to need four slices of peanut butter toast, a liter of caramel swirl ice cream straight from the bucket, two chocolate bars plus three hours to sleep it all off.
I spent so much time and money searching for the reasons for my emotional overeating. I tried hypnotherapy, psychotherapy, group therapy and more, but somehow I managed to keep bingeing even through therapy.
From your feedback and e-mails I know that many of you also struggle with emotional overeating.
That's why I decided to produce my brand new workshop, Eat with Emotional Intelligence.
In this hands-on workshop I'll teach you the simple techniques that finally helped me to get out of the binge eating roller coaster. These techniques enabled me to love myself and my life so much that I stopped living to eat and instead began eating to live. Having lost 28 kilos and kept it off for over 10 years, I want to share all that I've learned with you.
In this interactive workshop you will learn:
- How to get to the bottom of emotional overeating and shake it out of your life
- The psychological technique that kick-started my journey to a thinner, happier me and how to put it into action in your own life
- Two simple ways to make an extra hour of time every day so that you can do the things you really want to do
- A highly effective strategy for eliminating all the rubbish you tell yourself and replacing it with kindness that will help you to nurture your health and happiness
- Learn how to give yourself what you really need so you no longer need food for emotional support
- How to get your life on track for the way you want to live. When I learned this technique I was astounded by the positive effect it had on my life

What our readers say...
"Dear Amanda, I recently read your book a second time. The first time I read it, I was impressed but it took me another year before I was ready to seriously have a go. I am now on my third month of keeping a success diary. I have lost 4 kg, 3 in the first month and 1 in the second. I always have eaten a relatively healthy diet but I have had to learn to leave food on my plate. We grow a lot of our own food and I am a dedicated cook, so it was hard to get used to the idea that throwing food away was actually less wasteful than eating it when I have had enough. That was a big challenge, but I think I can do it now. Keeping the success diary has made me more aware of when I am up to 3+ and I can stop before I get to 4+. I was a bit disappointed to only lose 1 kg in March but encouraged by all the stories in your book and in your newsletter that losing weight slowly is the way to lose it for ever. I wonder if the slow down in weight loss is evidence of the Famine reaction setting in? In the past I would have been so discouraged at this point that I would have given up the diet. But this isn’t really a diet that I can give up, but a whole different way of thinking about eating. The really big difference to my weight loss attempts this time is that I got the exercise component. I never found ‘going for a walk’ very meaningful, so now I park the car 2kms away from the shops or wherever I am going and walk 2kms there and 2kms back, which feels more meaningful to me. I think in the past I didn’t walk for long enough to experience the benefits of walking and gave up on it because it was time consuming and pointless. Now I have lost weight and sleep better and feel more energetic. I am addicted to my pedometer and try to do 12, 000 steps 4 times a week and 10,000 the other days. I really think this is why I have been able to lose weight this time, more meaningful than my eating patterns. Thank you for your work and I look forward to reading the new book when it is finished. Sally"
