Changing Body Shape

Changing our body shape is often a difficult thing to do and sometimes finding the initial motivation to do so is the most difficult part. It becomes too hard to get out of our established patterns and begin to make changes in our life.

Our coping mechanisms, often around food, have now seemingly the need to be changed or replaced with other strategies and that can often be confronting, particularly when we have difficult periods in our lives.

CHANGE by CHANGE now offers a new and completely different way of getting this motivation to start the process and most importantly, to stay on the journey.
Embarking on the CHANGE by CHANGE program will make us realise that it does not have to be a guilt ridden “beating ourselves up experience” to change our shape.

We will realise that the tools are there within us to be successful in this process and does not involve all the other procedures normally associated with changing our shape.

We will realise that it is a journey entirely at our own pace, and will also be surprised at how quickly we begin to see progress.

Change by Change Program

When we are unhappy with our body shape we can also feel trapped and at a loss at what to do about it. From past experiences maybe we have found it too hard to either get started or to stay motivated.

The Change by Change Program is a completely different way of looking at the subject of changing body shape.

  • Gives us the motivation to start the process

  • Provides the skills and tools to keep going and succeed

  • Program runs over 3 weeks for 1 & 1/2 hours each week

  • Conducted in small supportive groups
