Craving Change Drop-In

The Craving Change Drop-In sessions are open to anyone interested in learning more about how situations, thoughts and emotions affect our food choices and eating behaviours and strategies to change.

The Drop-In sessions start with a group check-in as an opportunity to discuss current challenges and concerns you are experiencing with your eating behaviours. You can choose to speak or pass. Following this “round-table” style discussion, the workshop facilitator will cover one of the strategies from the Craving Change program to focus on over the next month.

Take Charge of Binge Eating

Are you eating extraordinarily large amounts of food even when you are not hungry? Do you feel like you have no control over your eating behaviours? If so, you may be experiencing binge eating.  Binge eating is often associated with eating very fast, eating until you feel uncomfortably full or sick, eating alone or hiding food, and feeling depressed, helpless, or very guilty after eating. 

Binge eating can be triggered for many reasons and there are strategies that can help. If you are ready to feel more in charge of your eating behaviours and improve your relationship with food, our Take Charge of Binge Eating Workshop may help you.
