       From Morbid Obesity to Size 16: How I Did It! NEW!Tell a Friend!
     
          I improved my health while losing weight. The basis for this was a gluten-free diet. Then I went on to make other dietary and lifestyle changes. I did not count anything, nor was I deprived of food; in fact, it was because I was satisfied food-wise that I was able to lose weight. It's not as simple as it sounds, but it's a lot easier with my tried and true techniques. I documented each step of the process and will go over this with you. I will share how I improved my wellness and lost 50+ pounds. This class is for people who want to lose a significant amount of weight and have an interest in learning a new approach. Both theory and practical demonstrations (i.e., recipes) will be included.

    Wear scent-free, comfortable clothes, and bring water and a gluten-free snack to each class.

          A Unique Approach to Family Relationships

    Participants will gain a functional awareness, understanding, strategies, and skills for fostering positive intra-group (family, school, community) relationships. Activities will focus on building and preserving one's self-esteem and experiencing positive achievements in life. Theory and practice will be based on the work and research of world-renowned psychologists Dr. Alfred Adler and Dr. Rudolf Driekurs. Through large and small group study and interaction, parents, school personnel, and others whose work involves adult and youth relationships will experience, reflect on, and practice Adlerian-based concepts as they impact child development, such as: birth order; communication styles; goals of behavior; reward vs. punishment; natural and logical consequences; "think-feel-do" cycles; and family/group meetings.

    NOTE: You must complete Part I of the workshop before you can enroll in Part II.
