The Emotional Eating Toolbox™ Take Action Series:

Take Control of Overeating and Emotional Eating!

..

• Do you ever feel out of control with your eating?

• Are you tired of struggling with compulsive eating and your weight?

The Emotional Eating Toolbox™ Take Action Series combines the tools and strategies of my self-guided Emotional Eating Toolbox™ 28 Day Program, with my most powerful audio series program yet.

Struggles with food and compulsive eating wear women out. They erode self esteem and over time, can even affect your ability to move forward confidently in other areas of your life.

The Emotional Eating Toolbox™ Take Action Series is a comprehensive, psychologist-created program, designed to give the busy, high-achieving, professional woman the tools she needs to break free of emotional eating in a way that will last.

.

If weight is an issue for you, emotional eating is likely a big part of it.

.

• Do you eat when you are overwhelmed, stressed or tired?
• Do you eat for comfort or to celebrate?
• Do you have too many times when the nicest thing you can do for yourself involves carbs and calories?
• Do you feel at a loss about what to do INSTEAD?

.

Most women know what they “should” be doing to take charge of their weight and their eating.  The challenge is IMPLEMENTING and finding a plan that you can stick with.

Here’s the real truth.  If you don’t address the reasons that you are turning to food—the stress, the overwhelm, the emotions, worries, and needs that drive you to the kitchen—the weight struggles, the compulsive eating, and the struggles with food aren’t going to end.

The Emotional Eating Toolbox™ Take Action Series:

Designed to help you take control of overeating—once and for all—in a way that works for you and your life.

.

• This program  meets you where YOU are in your journey towards change.  At every step, you are asked to listen to yourself and are shown how to develop goals and plans that suit your needs, your preferences and your schedule.
• This program helps you identify what you need to know about YOUR eating and your weight issues–you know–the variables and challenges that make your journey unique (these might be the same reasons that other attempts to change your overeating have failed).
• MOST IMPORTANTLY, this program shows you how to identify and develop the tools and activities you will need to make your changes permanent and enduring.

. If you are looking for another six week crash diet program, this is NOT the program for you. This program is not about deprivation or going hungry.  It is not about counting calories or carbs or fat grams. The Emotional Eating Toolbox™ Take Action Series shows you how to feed yourself in a way that is really truly satisfying.  A major rule in this program is to respect your hunger and to feed yourself in the MOST SATISFYING WAY POSSIBLE.  Please understand: this is not another diet.

Learn what triggers your hunger and your eating and identify strategies that will work for you to take control of overeating and emotional eating.

Identify the things you absolutely MUST do so that you don't turn to food or overeating.

Learn the tricks to feeding yourself–really feeding yourself–so that you don't go hungry, don't feel constantly deprived,  and so  you don't overeat.

Get off the diet roller coaster (there IS a better way).

Learn to leverage the tools that create powerful and enduring changes (and make creating peace with food more fun).

Create winning mindsets that will propel you forward, increase your confidence, and improve the quality of your life.

Learn my special formula for figuring out what to do when you don't know what to do–so you never have to get stuck and completely off track again.

Conquer your emotional eating challenges at home, at your own pace and choose the level of support that is right for you. .

How It Works:

The foundation of the program is my Emotional Eating Toolbox™ 28 Day Daily Action Plan Program (you can read about it by clicking the link).  The Emotional Eating Toolbox™ is a self-guided program that structures 28 days of change.  It literally walks you step by step through the specific tasks, exercises, questions and challenges you need to undertake to escape from yo-yo dieting, food obsession, binge eating, or feeling out of control with food.

The Take Action Series takes a great program and makes it better and even more comprehensive.

The Take Action Series combines the structure and power of the Emotional Eating Toolbox™ program with a powerful audio series focused on skill-building, strategizing, learning, reinforcement and support. The seminar recordings you'll receive will get you using the tools, they help you predict the situations and triggers that might be sticky for you and show you what to do about that. These seminars show you how to handle mindset traps, motivation challenges, and triggers to overeat that you aren't sure how to deal with.  These audios are not repetition of the original Emotional Eating Toolbox™, they are six hours of additional, powerful material. To make the system comprehensive, the Take Action Series also provides you with an online system for weekly accountability and goal setting.

It's a Complete System.

All participants in the Take Action program receive a copy of the The Emotional Eating Toolbox™ 28 Day Program and the companion CD set (Sells separately for $169).  I’ll show you how to set up this program and begin learning to implement the tools and the strategies into your life. The Take Action Series takes the Emotional Eating Toolbox™ program deeper and farther. The in-depth audio series focuses on the nitty gritty of taking control of emotional eating and shows you how to create solutions that are effective and that are designed to last. Bonus handouts and templates guide you through the process of creating a customized blueprint for lasting change. Your weekly online accountability journal keeps you focused and on track.

"I was stuck. Stuck in a rut…stuck in life…stuck being unhappy about my choices. Food was the way I coped sometimes. . . Your class really helped me realize that when I get bored, I eat. Then, I feel guilty and horrible about myself for eating that cookie and eat again to make myself feel better. . . Your class taught me to recognize the problem at hand that makes me want to eat, and then gave me the tools to handle it. I can't think of a better course than that!!" Ronda Stephens-Auclair Emotional Eating Toolbox™ Group Participant, owner of www.MoreThanAMouse.com

The Take Action Program includes Six 60-minute Pre-recorded Seminars, led by me.

You'll receive six hour-long Take Action Audios, and I'll ask you to listen to one each week. In each hour-long seminar, I address an important tool or aspect of making peace with food and breaking free of vicious cycles with weight, compulsive eating, and emotional eating. The content is information-rich and designed to help you stay motivated, move through the Emotional Eating Toolbox™ program, and work through your own individual challenges and hurdles.

"The journey towards getting my eating under control is a long one, BUT it's taken me 50 years (think of that!!) to develop all these unhealthy habits. I've tried and abandoned many many approaches. Melissa's methods make sense, are understandable, and if I do my part, I'm sure I'll have much greater control over my mindless and instinctive approach to eating This IS a journey, for sure!"

“I just want to say, that you´re amazing! All the women that I work with and my girlfriends seriously need to know about your work, because it really stands out from the fitness world and most women magazines way of dealing with the food/weight issue. I myself work within the fitness industry and in this world, the things you put words to just seems to be such a taboo and embarrassing subject that nobody brings it up. Your way of making emotional eating "normal" and down to earth is so relieving to me – both on a personal but certainly also on a professional level!
