ObesityHelp Conference Speaker Jill Temkin
May 8, 2014We’re happy to introduce Jill Temkin, MA, RAS, TEP as a speaker for the 2014 ObesityHelp Conference!
Breakout Session: Six Steps To Success When Coping With Addiction After Weight Loss Surgery
While weight loss surgery (WLS) alters your body and digestive tracts’ response to food, it doesn’t change how your mind responds to food or emotional triggers. Learn what to do if you begin to fall back into old eating patterns or start answering emotional triggers with new harmful thoughts and behaviors.
Join Jill Temkin, Registered Addiction Specialist and Founder and Director of Living Thin Within, as she walks you through six key interventions that can transform addictive thoughts and behaviors into needs that can be met without reaching for food, alcohol, or the credit card!
Learn what addiction is, as well as how to stop the panic, regret and shame by understanding, managing and redirecting it instead.
