Encounter Weight Loss

Encounter Weight Loss is a Christian Weight Loss program that has been developed out of the recognition that we need more than a one dimensional approach to weight loss. This course will take you away from the trap of quick fix dieting and invite you into a journey to lose your weight once and for all, by combining the latest nutritional science with a plan for resolving emotional eating.

Wendy Peter will lead you though ten core value lessons that will teach you to rise above the pull of food and turn to God for strength and grace as you take back your health and regain your confidence. These core values, and areas of focus reflect a whole person approach to weight-loss rather than the one dimensional control the food only approach that has been promoted by the diet industry. Dealing only with the physical part of weight loss has led to years of repeated frustration and disappointment for many. If that has been your experience, we want to invite you to renew your hope, and find weight loss success as you encounter change in the four areas of life that this course focuses on:

Encountering God (The Upward Journey)

- Learn how to receive God’s power, grace and the fullness of self-control as you journey into deeper intimacy with Him.

Encountering Others (The Outward Journey)

- Understand the connection between isolation and emotional eating, and how support from others can make the difference in achieving your weight loss goals.

Encountering Yourself (The Inward Journey)

- Learn how to break free from emotional eating by understanding and resolving the root causes below the surface.

- Learn how to recognize the triggers for emotional eating.

- Learn how to reclaim your identity, dreams, and confidence

Encountering Nutrition (The Physical Journey).

- Understand why the weight loss rules have changed and how to gain a metabolic advantage through the latest nutritional science.

- Learn how to move away from processed, man made foods and eat foods that God has designed to heal and rebuild your health.

Each lesson focuses on one core value that together spell the acronym Encounter.
