'Changing From the Inside Out' class through Providence

I have signed up to take the class 'Changing From the Inside Out' (Weight Management,) which started last night, from Dr. Christine Jensen (July support group speaker.)  This class is through Providence Hospital.   It is Tuesday nights so I will miss that support group but I think this will be very beneficial. Mark, my husband has chosen to take it also to help with some of his eating issues and support me with mine.

The first class was great. There are a couple of other people from the support group in the class which is great.  Dr. Christine Jensen is very non-descript looking but her command of people is amazing. The class is on emotions and some techniques on how to overcome emotional eating. There is a lot of participation required and she would like the group to get closer knit, as it makes for a more successful class. The focus is self-examination. I really enjoy her use of quotes. Like "It's not what you eat, it's what's eating you." I am really looking forward to the next 9 weeks.

I think when my husband went in he was there to support me but by the time he left he was there for himself, which I thought was great!

Class information:
Get to the root of your weight problem by identifying thoughts and feelings that affect your eating and activity patterns. In this group setting you will share your stories and unravel the complex path... that has led to emotional eating. You'll learn new skills to overcome emotional eating patterns, in this ten week group program.

Instructor: Christine Jensen has a Ph.D. in nutrition and is a Registered Dietitian. She has been helping others understand and confront their emotional eating patterns with Providence Health & Services for almost 10 years, and developed the curriculum for this program.

Thanks for posting about the class. I've been thinking about doing it as well. It's nice to hear from someone who's actually taken it.
