Overcoming Overeating with Self-Compassion

The secret to overcoming overeating and feeling comfortable in your own skin isn’t counting calories or depriving yourself at the dinner table. Jean Fain tells us it's about cultivating awareness and self-acceptance wherever you are. With The Self-Compassion Diet, this Harvard Medical School-affiliated psychotherapist prescribes a practical program for transforming the way you think and feel about food and your whole self — a shift that, paradoxically, inspires lasting physical change. Combining loving-kindness, mindful eating and other unique strategies, this inspiring Workshop will leave you feeling renewed and empowered.

WELCOME & SELF-COMPASSION 101Learn how self-compassion inspires a counterintuitive shift out of self-criticism and into real motivation for overcoming overeating. After a warm welcome and a quick overview of this unique mind-body approach, you’ll dive into meditative practice and a little science behind the practice.

EAT TO LOVE: GETTING STARTEDIf feeding yourself a steady diet of love and kindness is hard to imagine, this session will teach you quick and easy ways to get started. After sampling a mix of mini-meditations, a simple mindful eating meditation will help you discover what a difference mindful eating makes.

Workshop Fee: $400

AM I FULL YET? The first session – a mindful group lunch – gives you the support you need to practice letting go of self-criticism and take pleasure and satisfaction in good food and company. After a brief discussion of the mindful meal, the second session will lead you through a guided eating meditation to help you recognize and respond to the ever-changing experience of taste sensation.

WHERE DO YOU GO FROM HERE?Rather than leave the workshop and hope for the best, you’ll do better to consider where you want to go. To help you entertain the possibilities, you’ll watch an illuminating video, review resources and set an intention to help you stay the course.

Jean is a Harvard Medical School-affiliated psychotherapist and the author of

BEFRIEND HUNGER: DISTINGUISHING BETWEEN PHYSICAL & EMOTIONAL HUNGER If you’ve been entrenched in a weight-loss battle, becoming aware of your hunger can feel threatening, if not dangerous. Even if you’re convinced that hunger is your enemy, by the end of this session, you’ll understand why it’s the best friend you never knew you had. Not only will a mini-lecture teach you the difference between emotional and physical hunger, a hunger awareness meditation will help you feel the difference between the two hungers.
