3.6.2021          "Choose Your Hard"       Dr. Rachel Burnett, Ph.D.             

 

With weight management, we can choose not to change our lifestyle, leaving us with the “hard” of poor health, pain, not feeling good, doctor’s visits, etc. Or we can choose the “hard” of planning meals, moving our bodies regularly, turning down temptations, etc. Either choice involves work, a degree of discomfort, and doing some things we don’t want to do. Please join Dr. Burnett to discuss this basic fact of weight management and how to apply it to your own situation.

2.27.2021         Finding the Middle Ground with Weight Management       Rachel Burnett, Ph.D.

​

​It’s very common for people trying to manage their weight to discover they’ve been doing a lot of black-and-white thinking. They’re either being “good” because they’re eating healthfully, or are “bad” because they had a slip up. Foods fall into “good” and “bad” categories. Or they are either completely committed to their plan or completely off of it.  This kind of thinking often leads to self-recrimination and can get in the way of a more balanced, sustainable approach to long-term weight management. In this group Dr. Burnett will discuss how this pattern happens and ideas for finding more middle ground.
