Permanent Weight Loss for Emotional Eaters

What if you could look back on 2023 and say that was the year everything changed in your life…for the better? That you finally freed yourself from food drama, emotional eating and lost the weight permanently?

Diane Lynn did it in 2018 and is now teaching others how to do it, too. Join us for online classes taught by Diane, a certified weight loss coach, for a 6-week journey to learn how your brain is likely sabotaging your weight loss efforts and how to retrain it so you’ll think differently about food and never gain the weight back again.

You’ll also get a personalized, healthy food protocol that fits easily into your lifestyle - no counting calories or points! The secret sauce to Diane’s weight loss coaching is a thought framework tool based on Cognitive Behavior Therapy called the Thought Model. Diane will teach you the Thought Model and many other concepts and tools so you’ll have a do-it-yourself way to help you manage your thoughts, feelings and actions to get to your goal weight and stay in a healthy eating mindset for the rest of your life.

If you’d like to learn more about Diane and her program, check out her brochure here

Successful and efficient genealogical research involves knowing how to use your computer to your advantage. This meeting is designed to answer your questions about “stuff” that genealogists don’t talk about and learn about by happenstance!?
