WHAT DO SOME OF THE WOMEN WHO HAVE DONE THE E-COURSE HAVE TO SAY?

• Ingrid Mouray: “Since the following the Beyond Chocolate multimedia course in February 2005 it has been an amazing journey and still is. For the first time and for a whole 6 weeks from Christmas Eve I've been consistently eating when hungry, eating what I want, enjoying the food and stopping when full or satisfied. It is such a break through. I've been feeling wonderful, light, slim (not just feeling it the scales are saying the same thing), in tune with my body, forgot the usual worries that I tend to have around food. It's been fantastic!”


• Pam Curtis: “I did the Beyond Chocolate multimedia course for two reasons. Firstly, I was too impatient to wait for the residential weekend next year, and secondly because I thought that the course would suit me better being spread over a longer period of time. I have just completed it and feel it was exactly the right way for me to do this work. Beyond Chocolate has really changed my ideas about food and eating, I know that I won’t ever diet again, but I will apply everything I have discovered and learnt about myself and my relationship with food, to my life. I enjoyed the longevity of the work and the constant surprises that came by email and through the post. I never felt on my own, I felt totally supported and encouraged by Beyond Chocolate. I would recommend this to anyone, who has issues with food or body image, and I would certainly recommend the multimedia course, for me it’s been an incredible experience.”


• Doris, London: "I had wanted to be free from the dieting madness for many years and doing the Beyond Chocolate e-course seemed like a sound and safe way to explore this option. I purposely chose the e-course because I prefer individual attention, constant support and feedback over a period of time. With constant encouragement, praise and practical solutions during the entire length of this course, I opened my eyes and changed my attitude towards eating. My pre-occupation with thoughts about food, my body and weight have completely disappeared and have been replaced by kindness, acceptance and compassion towards myself. I loved the weekly gifts, not only do they make me feel special but are an added incentive to persevere on this journey. There has been a decrease in the amount I eat and my clothes are beginning to feel looser. This feels exciting as I am eating exactly what I want and my body is releasing any excess weight at its own pace. It feels easy and natural and I am very pleased that I treated myself to this gift. If you want to leave the dieting treadmill behind and look forward to a life completely free from worries about your weight, your body or what you eat, please don’t hesitate to sign up. It will be the best decision you have ever made."


• Yasmin, London: “I love the way that Beyond Chocolate is about celebrating and appreciating food, rather than denial and punishment and it really helped knowing that help was just an email away.”
  
  
• Gill, London: “Beyond Chocolate stuck a stick in the spokes of the self-destructive cycle I had been in for 25 years and made me stop. Stop dieting and start questioning why I was trying to shrink myself both literally and symbolically. Stop seeing food as the sworn enemy and start welcoming it into my home like an old friend. Stop handing over my power and my pounds (pun intended) to diet clubs and detox gurus and start reclaiming both as my own. The twelve weeks of the E-course were like a set of stabilisers, keeping me upright while I learnt how to pedal softly, rather than furiously, and encouraging me to believe that I really wouldn't fall off if I slowed down and admired the view along the way. Six months on and I’m freewheeling – and, believe me, it's exhilarating!”
