How We Work

When we think about weight loss we tend to think about what we eat, not how we feel and think about food and about eating. What gets in the way of your ability to lose weight? Emotions play a central role and may be the primary obstacle to weight loss. Up to an astonishing 90 percent of people who lose weight may eventually go on to gain it all back. Successfully, lasting weight loss is not just a physical change, it’s an emotional change.

Your ability to successfully diet and lose weight is primarily psychological, so trying to lose weight by regulating food intake alone is self-defeating and stressful. It often leads to feelings of failure and hopelessness which, for many individuals, leads to more overeating. Weight loss requires powerful emotional support that helps to minimize self sabotaging thoughts and behaviors.

At Overeaters Solutions we can help you successfully lose weight and keep it off. We will help discover your personal formula for success through our 3 step program:

1. Mindset and Behavior: Private and confidential therapy sessions with licensed psychologists that focus on ending emotional eating and replacing negative patterns of thinking that have impeded your ability to lose weight in the past. Our doctors will help you create a weight loss mindset, learn to overcome cravings and food triggers and learn how to navigate internal mood states and environments that may trigger overeating.

2. Strategic Coaching Calls: Strategy calls focus on progress toward goals, bolster motivation, provide support and accountability, build self-confidence and help solve problems. Our coaching calls are critical for success. We help you to make daily positive decisions that support your weight loss goals and help you to implement the Cognitive Behavioral skills learned in therapy sessions. Motivation and accountability are necessary components of successful weight loss!

3. Find a Meal Plan: After a thorough assessment of your weight loss needs, lifestyle, food preferences and prior diet experiences, we will assist you in identifying the correct Eating Lifestyle for you that you can follow with ease.
