Weight Loss Reimagined:

Retrain Your Brain for Permanent Weight Loss

If you've found yourself stuck in a cycle of resolutions to lose weight every year only to regain it, you're not alone. If you think you lack the self-discipline needed to lose weight and keep it off, we have great news - willpower isn't endlessly necessary for lasting change. If you’re looking for a healthy way to lose weight that will help you create your own roadmap to permanent wellness, these classes are for you!

Most of us can force ourselves to suffer through a diet, but if we don’t change the way we think, feel and behave, the weight is likely to come back. In Weight Loss Reimagined, you'll learn how to create permanent results by addressing the root cause of why we eat more than we should, which is our thoughts and feelings. By retraining your brain, you’ll more easily stay in control around your favorite junk food, even during social events. Most importantly, you’ll learn a tool based in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help re-wire your brain to no longer crave junk food, making permanent weight loss so much easier!

Details:

·        Free Online Preview Session: Wednesday, March 20^th at 2pm PT

·        6 Week Series Class Dates: Wednesday, March 27^th to Wednesday, May 1^st at 2pm PT

Tuition: $297 members/public (a portion of tuition benefits the Scranton JCC)

All classes will be taught online via Zoom, link provided at registration

Bio: Diane Lynn is a certified Weight Loss Coach and creator of Weight Loss Reimagined. By re-training her brain, Diane was able to finally shake her life-long emotional eating habits to lose 65 pounds and keep the weight off for good. She was so impressed by the power of harnessing her thoughts that she quit her corporate career, got her coaching certification and created this six week class series to help as many people as possible gain control over their minds, weight and health!

Each class builds on the last, please plan to attend all six. If you need to miss one, arrangements can be made for you to watch a recording to catch up. If you’re having difficulty registering, please email Diane at DianeLynn@CoachesForHealth.com.
