All New 4-Week Emotional Eating Group Coaching Course [Registration CLOSED]
Email This Post
This course comes as the result of several requests I’ve been getting from readers. For serious participants only. Read on for details.
Do you experience emotional eating issues? Do you sometimes wish that there is someone there to work with you through your emotional eating issues? Do you want to live a life of fully conscious, healthy, and restraint-free eating, where you no longer have to worry, battle, or have a love-hate relationship with food?
If so, this course is for you.
Upcoming Emotional Eating Coaching Course
Starting from this Sunday, 29 Jul, I’ll be conducting an emotional eating group coaching course. This course will comprise of four x 1.5 hour session, at a pace of one session a week. Every week, you will learn one key lesson on overcoming emotional eating, after which you will apply it for the next seven days (before the next session).
Each session consists of theory (content sharing in a lecture format), exercises (where you apply the theory), sharing by the participants, and a Q&A at the end. I will be personally leading every session.
The course will eventually culminate in the fourth and last session, where you will review your results and embark on your new life ahead.
Addressing Emotional Eating using a Four-Prong Approach™: Emotional, Spiritual, Mental, Physical
I was an emotional eater in the past, so I know the horrors and the traps of emotional eating. I have since overcome emotional eating, through and through, as I’ve detailed in my 6-part emotional eating series. I want to work with people to permanently overcome their emotional eating demons as well, just like I have.
The course will teach you how to overcome emotional eating using a unique four-prong approach™ which I have developed myself: EMOTIONAL, SPIRITUAL, MENTAL, and PHYSICAL. It’s a holistic solution which will tackle your emotional eating issue from the root to permanently eradicate it once and for all.
Enough with “self-control” and trying to “repress” yourself from eating. True resolution of emotional eating issues comes when you have piles of food before you AND you have no interest in eating it at all (save when you are physically hungry).
It’s like how a non-smoker wouldn’t feel like smoking even if there are cigarettes before him/her. Just like a leaky tape that continues to drip when you stop pressing against the spout, it’s a matter of time before the emotional eaters’ emotional eating tendencies resurface when they stop enforcing those behaviors.
My focus of this course is to help you eliminate emotional eating for the rest of your life, not to provide a short-term fix.
Agenda
Here is the agenda for the four-week intensive course:
- Week 1: What are You Trying to Feed? Understand the Void (Tackling the EMOTIONAL aspect of emotional eating)
- Week 2: Breaking Your Erroneous Beliefs Surrounding Food and Eating (Tackling the MENTAL aspect of emotional eating)
- Week 3: The Psyche Force Behind Your Emotional Eating (Tackling the SPIRITUAL aspect of emotional eating)
- Week 4: Rebuild the Right Eating Habits (Tackling the PHYSICAL aspect of emotional eating)
As I mentioned above, each session consists of theory (content sharing in a lecture format), exercises (where you apply the theory), sharing by the participants, and a Q&A at the end. You will apply the lessons learned during the session for the next seven days (before the next session). So in essence, it’s a group coaching course that focuses on theory, application, and at the end of the day, long-term change.
FAQs
When will the sessions be conducted?
Every Sunday, 10:30pm to 12am, Singapore time (GMT +8). Equivalent timings for other timezones:
- Sunday, 9:30am to 11pm, CST (GMT -5)
- Sunday, 10:30am to 12pm, EST (GMT -4)
- Sunday, 2:30-4pm, UTC (GMT +0)

- Sunday, 8-9:30pm, IST / India time
My current plan is to start the course this Sunday, 29 Jul (with subsequent sessions on 5 Aug, 12 Aug, and 19 Aug).
Why are you conducting this course?
I’m passionate about the topic of emotional eating. I’m passionate about helping others rid their lives of emotional eating habits. I’ve been the slave of emotional eating for 10 years and it had caused me so much anguish. If you ask me, I wish there was a program or an online course like this which I could join back when I was still struggling with my eating issues. It would definitely have made my life much easier, seriously.
However, the upside is that it has allowed me to identify a truly holistic solution to emotional eating which I seriously believe that no one has ever developed before. I have never in the history of my life seen a program like what I teach in my emotional eating course. Many purported approaches out there are either a partial solution (uses one of the prongs in my four-prong approach) or tries to address emotional eating from the surface, leading to a partial resolution or non-resolution of the issue.
Like I mentioned above, true resolution of emotional eating issues comes when you don’t have to enforce or control anything. You simply naturally eat healthily and normally, without any inclinations or desire to overeat or reach out for food when you don’t need to. Most people think they have overcome their emotional eating issues, when they are in fact, just repressing them. I’m here to help you achieve long-term resolution of your EE issues.
How many people will there be in this course?
My focus here is small group, big results. Hence, I do not wish to take anymore than 10 students, with 12 being the absolute maximum. I only want to work with people who are really serious about making a permanent change in their eating habits. People who are sick of turning to food as a response to life’s events.
If you want to be free from your eating issues forever, this is the course for you.
What are you selling here?
Just the course. There will be no up-selling, hidden sales text, or selling of any products after you sign up; that’s totally not my style at all. What you will get is a no frills, no-nonsense, solution-driven course on how to tackle your emotional eating problems permanently.
How much is the course?
Read the next section.
Small Investment for a Life of Healthy, Conscious, Restraint-Free Eating
The cost of an eating disorder treatment on average is about $30,000 a month on average (I kid you not). Many patients require three or more months of treatment. And even then, they still need years of follow-up care.
I believe those treatments have their merits. However, I think true resolution of emotional eating comes when you naturally do not overeat nor think about eating when you are not hungry. Many of these treatments do not result in full resolution of the eating issues. They may result in partial resolution, but not the full resolution. My goal here is to help you attain full resolution.
Given the high value of the course and the work involved, I’m pricing the course at $238 USD. The value you will get out of a life of healthy, conscious, and restraint-free eating? Priceless, and many times more than what you will pay for this course.
I also want to stress that I’m not going for a mass approach for this course. I’m just working with a selected group of individuals, about 8 to 12 people, to really help each person overcome his/her emotional eating demons.
The price you pay is for actual, individualized, attention. If I’m having a 50 or 60 people seminar, then the rate would be lower, but for an issue as specialized and deeply embedded as emotional eating, I’m not sure what good you will get out of that. I’m most interested in creating real change and long-term change here.
Update, Jul 26, ’12: We have a full class of 11 participants and registration is now CLOSED. Thanks everyone for your interest, and I look forward to working with the participants this Sunday, 29 July!! 
You should have received the registration details after you made the course payment. Let me know via the comments section below if you haven’t!

My Final Words To You
This course is not for everyone. It’s only for the people who want to make permanent, real change, to their lives and their eating habits.
Long-term readers of PE would know that I focus on high-value, high-content offerings with everything I do. Almost everything here on PE is free, and it is all high-value material. When I create paid programs or products, they are of even higher value than what I already have here on the site. I would not assign a price to something unless I thought it was worth 10 times the price to begin with. This course is no different.
If you want to permanently rid emotional eating from your life like I have, then join this upcoming four-week emotional eating group coaching course. You will not regret it.
The registration button will be taken offline once we hit the quota for the course. So do register if this course is something you are looking for. I do not conduct group coaching courses like this all the time so it might be a long while before such an opportunity will surface again.

Hello Celes,
I am very much interested and hope its not too late by the time I finish my comment. I just want to make sure how will this be done. It would be my first time ever trying something like this.

Hi Jess! The course will be conducted every Sunday, for four weeks, in an online meeting room (link will be shared in the confirmation email which will be sent after one has registered for the course). Participants log onto the meeting room via the link provided at the stated date and time.
During the class, I will share slides, present content, and also get the participants to do exercises. These exercises are meant to apply the theory and help the paricipants get to the root of their EE issues. Participants will get to participate by sharing their answers to the class (so earphones and a computer microphone will be needed). No web cam is needed. If the participant has no computer microphone, he/she can use the text chat (which will be provided in the meeting room). However, a mic is preferred for better engagement. There is also a Q&A section where participants can ask any questions on EE/that session’s topic and I’ll answer them.
At the end of each session, there will be (simple) action steps and things to be done for the week, till the next session. This happens every week until the end of the course in the fourth week. Each session also builds on the material and knowledge from the previous session(s). At the end of the course, the participant would have worked through a big chunk (if not all) of his/her EE issues and get to create the action plan ahead for a healthy life of conscious, healthy, and restraint-free eating.
Let me know if any of this is unclear! Happy to answer any other questions you might have.

Wonderful Offer Celeste. I wish I could do it but finances currently dont allow me to. I hope it all goes well and if you have another one in the future I will make every effort to find the money to do this. However your website in itself is quite helpful. I have not binged for two night now and its because I am now conscious of my triggers. I beleive I can do this and will continue to fight this battle, with the help of your excellent article on “Emotional Eating”. Keep making your mark in the Web World. :hug:

Hey Wanda, thanks for your kind comment.
I’m sorry that your finances currently do not allow you to participate in this course but at the very least you can utilize the free resources on the site, including the existing articles that I have written on the topic. There is a self-esteem seminar which I’m planning on August which you might want to check out (as self-esteem is frequently linked with emotional eating); that will be at a more affordable rate as it will be a large group seminar. I’ll be posting details on that sometime next week.
Much love to you and do keep on reading the site. I really appreciate your love and support. :hug:

Hi Celes,
This is such an amazing idea and I think you will help a lot of people! I will definitely keep in mind people I can recommend this to if you decide to do another coaching group like this in the future on this topic.
Just had to share something funny–I have synesthesia (if you don’t know what that is, it means my brain assigns color to words, letters, and numbers against my will–I think them rather than see them, but some people with this condition see them) and the colors you picked for each of the words Emotional, Spiritual, Mental, and Physical are *exactly* the colors my brain assigns to them. So funny!!!! We’re on the same wavelength somehow

Perhaps it tells us that there IS a language with colors and our subconsciousness has a way of picking the right colors that represent various things.

Celes, I am glad you are offering this course! It really is needed by so many people. I certainly have received the benefits of much guidance and inspiration from doing your courses.
Today I have been thinking about whether it is wise, or even needed for me to participate in this latest specialized course you are offering. (Just read the email in the wee hours last night-wee hours of Wednesday morning). Since this is a topic that has related to how I lived my life (or needed to) regarding emotional eating, etc., of course it gives me cause to pause and consider it.
For the past year, I have been on track, no emotional eating. When I abstain from foods/substances that are addictive (like sugar and flour are MAJOR offenders), I have NO cravings!!! I eat small meals when I am truly hungry. My one year anniversary for being on my food Plan is July 27th, and I have dropped 102 pounds in this past year!!! Hallelujah!
I have done major work, all throughout my life, and lots of work with your excellent courses/challenges this past year, as you know. I feel centered and balanced. I so realize that there are many levels on which to address the issues of emotional eating. I really have done a lot of work with this subject, and I realize that all the levels (physical, emotional, mental, spiritual) must be in play for sustained weight loss/equilibrium.
So these are the comments and my thinking leading up to the question of :
” When is enough, enough?”
I do feel like I have dug really deep, and am living a life that just keeps on getting better and better, and I certainly have more than I can ever actually DO, especially when it comes to doing the work for your courses. I read your material, apply myself to the questions the tasks pose, record my responses in my notebook, but am behind on interacting with other participants as much as I would like to. Am I being TOO thorough? Am I taking on TOO much? Would I be better off to get out there and DO/interact more, and , although I am a writer, spend less time writing? These are some questions I ask myself.
The self-esteem course coming up in August that you refer to sounds great too (ANYthing you offer IS!), but again, how much can I actually fully participate in, as fully as any course you offer deserves (and I deserve
), and have it not overlap with the deep digging and insights that are unearthed as I continue to more thoughtfully and fully do the work that you offer/challenge us to do with the Live Runs and your thought-provoking articles/manifesto’s, and so forth.
Seems like to me that at this point, whatever insights and revelations I am to receive for my highest good, are going to come to me, one way or another, as long as I show up in my life, willing to listen and do what is needed to take care of myself and live a better life. I improve and get results sometimes quickly, sometimes more slowly, but as long as I move in the right direction, I’m good.
I am no longer in the mindset that I am missing something, If it’s meant to be, it’ll happen in just the right way. I’ll be open to receive, do my part, and it will be part of my growing consciousness.
Okay Celes…I know I have made comments here that stretch beyond THIS special offering, but somehow all these comments with inherent queries relate to this special course, and the wisdom in taking on this, the upcoming self-esteem course, or whatever may come….when I am in the midst of doing the work for DLBL and even the last BBM…is all part of the question, ” just when is enough, enough?” Perhaps I am in process of accepting that “I am enough,” and certainly “doing” enough!!!
There are my thoughts, concerns and questions that are swirling in my mind…seems that things work out if they are intended to and it’s all good…this special course may be closed already by now, I’ve been writing so long…but the concerns and questions remain about this course and others that are forthcoming, regardless. Perhaps I have already taken this course in many ways….(FEELS like it…)
Thank you for everything., Celes. :hug: and hope this is making sense…there are SO many opportunities that challenge one’s progress and growth…the challenge being not to feel overwhelmed by it all…by ANY of it! I remind myself that it’s about discernment and using my intuition and best wisdom. Just breathe. I remind myself that all this increased energy I am feeling from clearing mental clutter and emotional baggage and a tonnage of excess weight doesn’t all have to be “used”…it can remain as the vibrancy, the generator, from which I live, move, and have my being.
Wonder if you may have any suggestions or insight for me? I know everyone has to decide for themself. Still, I’ll go ahead and post this. I do want to share my process of thinking with you… I truly am committed to being the best me, but sometimes perhaps I go too far(is that even possible?)…. What is your sense about these matters? (and sorry about the long post, if that’s an issue….)

Hey Bette!
That is a great question, “What is enough, enough?” I’d say go with what you feel you need most right now. What are your priority goals (from Day 3: Life Map in 30DLBL)? What are the things that will help you swing forward the most in these goals? Do those things. For the things that spring up your way in the process, evaluate them accordingly and see if they have a place in your life. If they do, take them up; if they don’t, don’t take them up. Have your life’s plan (which you already do!!! from what you shared in the first week of 30DLBL), stick by it, and live by it.
For the EE course, I think anyone who takes it will definitely benefit from it. I think you most definitely do not need it, based on everything you’ve been sharing in all the past courses in PE. It sounds like you have worked through majority, if not all, of your past EE issues, and one year of not emotional eating is a HUGE milestone. So I think you should definitely continue your way with whatever has been working great for you, and just stick to that. (When not broken, don’t fix it!)
Regarding the self-esteem “course”, actually it’s a seminar. Meaning it wouldn’t be as intensive as 30DLBL or 30BBM, but just a one-off, one-session, low commitment engagement. I understand that there are many people who are unable to commit to long periods of growth sessions, so I’ve decided to introduce a seminar-type series (with the self-esteem one being the first of several in the future, probably), where people can sit in, soak in the best information they can ever get on the topic, then leave and apply the lessons thereafter. The seminar will likely be 2-3 hours; I need to work that out first on how I want to structure it. But I think this topic will be immensely useful for all readers on PE, so I’m intending to make it a mass seminar. If anyone has benefited from reading the articles on PE; if people like my approach of “address root cause, not effects”, this seminar is definitely for them. (I won’t be focusing on surface-level, superficial approaches which seem to be pretty popular outside of PE.)
Let me know if you have any questions, Bette! Always a pleasure to hear from you.

Hey Dayna, you are so right! I have corrected it. Only the EST is wrong though – it should be 10:30am to 12pm EST, Sunday. For India, it’s 2.5 hours before Singapore time, so it does start at 8pm at India time.
It seems that majority of the participants for this class are from US, with a couple from other countries. Look forward to working with you guys soon!
(PS: You are right, it starts at 9:30am Central on Sunday for you!
