Online Course 2: The Eating Guidelines

GR-part2

Geneen’s work has been described as “highly-informative,” “inspiring,” and “motivating.” But being informed and feeling inspired and motivated on their own will not bring about changes. The power of Geneen’s work lives in the specific strategies and tools that she builds into her writing and presentations. Strategies and tools that are easy to implement and highly effective, so that when you put them into practice in your daily life, you experience the changes you desire and deserve.

At the heart of Geneen’s work are her seven Eating Guidelines, tools to lead you from “possibility” into real-world results in your life.

One of the most frequent requests at Geneen Roth & Associates is: “Would you please explain the Eating Guidelines?” Although Geneen has written extensively about the Guidelines in her books and articles, we’re aware that sometimes your personal experience and perspective might make it difficult for you to fully understand each Guideline. For instance, your mind may be caught up in trying to support you in your desire to make changes, while also trying to KEEP YOU from making those changes, because what’s familiar seems more “comfortable” than the unknown.This Online Course is designed to help you break through those barriers, and experience your own freedom and your own success.

“Thank you for your insight and support. You have given me hope where I thought no more hope was. I will continue my fight to be the person I want to be.”

– Darcy (Online Course Student)

“Geneen’s writing has helped me change my life dramatically, helped me find my way home after a lifetime lost on the highways and byways of food obsession. Her books have helped me find freedom after being held hostage by a distorted body image and the values of a culture that I don’t actually buy. She takes one of the most complicated and confusing and antagonistic parts of my life – my body and me, my body and food, my weight, my heart, my being – and she renders it clear and compassionate. She gently throws the lights on for me.””

– Anne Lamott - author of Bird by Bird: Some Instructions on Writing and Life.

One of the main obstacles to transforming your relationship with food and eating, and to losing weight, is not having and sticking to a time-tested, highly effective STRATEGY and implementing the specific TOOLS that will bring about the changes you desire and deserve.If you’re reading this, it’s likely that you’ve discovered that diets don’t work. Or you don’t have a specific strategy to achieve your goals. Or the “tools” you’ve been using have been ineffective. Perhaps you’ve also figured out that if you continue to do what you’ve been doing, you’ll continue to get the same results. Or perhaps you’re just embarking on your journey, and you’re confused about what to do. There are so many options, and many of them offer conflicting advice.

Amongst all of these reasons about why what you’re doing isn’t working, there’s a simple truth: If you want to experience a change in your inner and outer life, you MUST begin by making a change in what you do. You must implement a time-tested strategy with the specific tools that bring about proven results.

Fortunately, by enrolling in the Eating Guidelines Online Course, you can learn directly from Geneen how to easily implement her seven Eating Guidelines into your daily practice, and experience the results inside and out!

 

 

“I feel like this work was what I have been longing for since I was 14 years old and began my emotional/compulsive eating… Thank you for the work that you do. I really know that life has more beauty than I allow myself to feel…”

– Carol Selman

One of the most common requests by people who’ve read Women Food And God and other books by Geneen is to clarify what each of the seven Eating Guidelines means, and how to put them to work more easily and more effectively.

With that in mind, Geneen has crafted this eight-part Eating Guidelines Online Course, designed to explain and clarify exactly what each Guideline means, and how to most easily put each Guideline to work in your daily life.

IT HELPS TO HAVE A SYSTEM!

The Eating Guidelines are not only tools, they are the essential ingredients to a proven strategy – a SYSTEM that works to bring about changes in your life. The best thing about a proven system is that you don’t need to think about it, or believe it. You only need to believe in YOURSELF, and “do” the system. Because a system works whether you believe it will, or not – as long as you put the system into practice exactly as it was designed.

When you participate in Geneen’s eight-part Eating Guidelines Online Course, you’ll learn the exact meaning of each of the Guidelines (the system’s elements). PLUS, you’ll learn the best way to put them into practice in your daily life, so you get the most benefit, and so that the Eating Guidelines help you to bring about the changes you seek.

“I DID IT! Yesterday I ate when I was hungry. I refrained from eating when I was not hungry. I can barely believe I did it. I was so scared. It was like stepping out over a cliff and walking a wobbly plank across a deep ravine. It was like doing something new, something I had never done before. I suspect I have done it before, but not for years and years and years. Today I’m going to do it again. It feels like throwing away crutches and standing on wobbly legs. Here I go…”

– Fiona (Online Course Participant)

THE EIGHT PARTS OF THE EATING GUIDELINES ONLINE COURSE

Part 1: An Introduction to the Eating Guidelines: In Part 1 Geneen gives an overview of the seven Eating Guidelines from physical, emotional, and spiritual perspectives. These perspectives include the hunger of the heart, your deepest desires, and what fulfillment means to you. Also included will be a way to structure your life so that the Eating Guidelines make sense in your day-to-day world.

Part 2: Eating Guideline #1 Eat When You Are Hungry: In Part 2 Geneen answers the question: What does it mean to eat when you are hungry? Some people say, “I’m hungry all the time!” But is that real hunger? Or is that the hunger of the heart or mind or spirit? Ask yourself: “If I am not hungry for the food in front of me, what am I hungry for?” In this Part, Geneen explores the pull of “hummers and beckoners” – foods (and other desires) that pull us away from our true center.

Part 3: Eating Guideline #2 Eat Sitting Down in a Calm Environment and Eating Guideline #3 Eat Without Distractions: In Part 3, Geneen addresses Guideline #2, which sounds simple enough, while asking: “Do you ever really do this?” What would happen if it was just you and the food? You and your thoughts? You and your feelings? If you eat when you are standing up, driving the car, or grazing in front of the refrigerator, you cannot pay attention to the taste of the food or whatever else is going on in the moment. Geneen helps you discover the importance of this practice, and coaches you to put it into practice as it’s meant to be experienced. Geneen also explores Eating Guideline #3, sharing that if you love something you pay attention to it. If you love the taste of food, and you are busy on your computer or engaged in an intense conversation, you are missing what you love. Geneen will help you explore the underlying reasons for distracting yourself, and how bring yourself back to what you love.

Part 4: Eating Guideline #4 Eat What Your Body Wants and Eating Guideline #5 Eat With Enjoyment, Gusto and Pleasure: When people first hear Guideline #4, “Eat What Your Body Wants,” they think it means permission to binge. But eating what your body wants – not what your mind wants – is different from eating everything you never allowed yourself to eat without guilt. In Part 4, Geneen will teach you a way to experience your body and your needs differently so that you can begin to get in touch with what will sustain and nourish you. And what will support you in living the promise of yourself: Your fullest life. While you say you enjoy food, and while you say you find pleasure in what you eat, the truth is that most of us feel guilty and ashamed of what and how much we eat.But if you are going to do something a few times a day – if you are going to spend precious minutes of your life with food – then why not utterly enjoy each of those moments? Why not revel in the pleasure and the joy of eating? Which is exactly what Geneen will also explore in this session.

Part 5: Eating Guideline #6 Eat Until You Are Satisfied and Eating Guideline #7 Eat (With the Intention of Being) in Full View of Others: Ah, “satisfaction.” Is there ever enough? Is being stuffed to a level of discomfort being “satisfied?” In this Part, Geneen will explain what is meant by satisfaction and fullness, and the differences between physical and emotional satisfaction. She will also discuss the tendency to use food as a way to satisfy what food can never touch. And, of course, what you can do instead. In discussing Guideline #7, Geneen will explain that when you hide what and how much you eat, you are also hiding who and what you are. What you need, what you want, your true hungers. Imagine what it would be like not to hide. Not to be invisible. Not to sneak around late at night pulling Oreos out of the box while glancing over your shoulder. In this session, you will explore the first steps of living your life “out loud” and in full view.

Part 6: Fundamentals of Eating, Living and Loving: Your relationship to food is an exact expression of your beliefs about worth, value, scarcity, abundance, and pleasure. Unless you question your beliefs, your behavior will remain the same. In this Part, Geneen introduces the everyday practices that can give you support for the rest of your life. It’s not enough to understand your situation, or to have an “Aha!” moment. For real change to happen, you must take action, and create a support system for yourself that can sustain your change. Geneen will inform, inspire and motivate you to effectively put what you learn in this Online Course to work in your everyday life. In this Part of this Online Course, Geneen will summarize and further explore the physical and spiritual dimensions of the Eating Guidelines, and how integrating them into your daily life is a path home – to your heart.

Part 7: Question and Answer Session: In this “bonus” session, Geneen will addresses the most frequently asked questions submitted by those who have taken this Online Course.

Part 8: Spending Guidelines: In this special Bonus Session, Geneen shares her insights about how her Spending Guidelines affect your relationship to money and finances in exactly the same way that the “Eating Guidelines” affect your relationship to food and eating. This Bonus Session explores Geneen’s healing journey with monty as revealed in her newest New York Times #1 besteller: Lost and Found: One Women’s Story of Losing Her Money and Finding Her Life. She guides you in exploring this connection in your own life and the ability to do so from a very practical perspective.

“I have not sat at my table to eat for at least 7 years except if I had company (very rare). Today I was rewritting my notes from your first week’s presentation and I felt that today was the day. I sat down at my table with my lunch on a pretty plate and a cloth napkin and ate without any distraction. You are right – I am still alive and nothing awful happened to me. Your Online Course made this lunch possible and I thank you. Now I have the courage to do it again.”

– Norma (Online Course Student)

 

“Here’s the best thing about the Online Course for me: After 30+ years of not being able to keep sweets in my house (because they call and call my name until I eat them ALL), I am now able to keep cake or chocolate in my house without it torturing me or even particularly interesting me. For me, this is HUGE. Geneen said there would be a ripening, a gradual change, and I’m finding this to be true. I’m slowly becoming more mindful, listening to my body, and I feel more calm in general. I still overeat more often than not, and I’m not concerned about it – I have all the time in the world, I’m finally getting what this is about, and life is good.”

– Lisa B. (Online Course Student)
