ObesityHelp Conference Speaker Angela Taylor, LCSW
May 20, 2014We’re happy to introduce Angela Taylor, LCSW as a speaker for the 2014 ObesityHelp Conference!
Workshop Session: I Am Changing…And I Am Perfect As I Am!
It can be a challenge finding the balance between motivation to change and acceptance of where you are. It is easy to become self-critical rather than self-loving as you focus on losing weight, improving health and changing your body. This workshop reminds people that weight loss and body changes are exciting and should be celebrated, but we can get into trouble when we put weight loss on too high of a pedestal and we become obsessed with the body. Join Angela, to learn to how to celebrate your body changes, while also learning how to love yourself exactly as you are.
