Program Description
Health For Every Body is taught in four 2-hour sessions.
Session I: Health For Every Body
The series begins with an introduction to a non-diet
approach to healthy living. Learn why diets don't work
and how to set realistic goals that will help keep you
motivated as you apply what you learn in the remaining
three sessions.
Session II: Appreciating Yourself and Others
Learn how to respect yourself, your body, and those of
others. Explore the role of assumptions in building
self-image, learn strategies for gaining greater
acceptance of yourself and others, and break the
food-mood connection.
Session III: Eating Well
Learn how to eat nutritiously without restrictive food
plans or diets. Increase your awareness of physical
hunger and fullness, and learn ways to practice
conscious, healthful eating.
Session IV: Active Living
Make physical activity a part of your daily life. Move
away from militant exercise, get active, and feel the
difference.
