The University of Arkansas Cooperative Extension Service is offering a new program in 2024 designed to help participants focus on health, not weight.  The program is built around the principles of pleasurable and mindful eating, physically active living and respect for body-size diversity.  

During this program, consisting of ten 1-hour sessions, participants will learn to:

• Shift from a weight-centered to a health centered approach
• Recognize eating styles and how it affects eating habits
• Cope with emotions without using food
• Identify outrageous portion sizes
• Honor hunger with gentle nutrition
• Enjoy physical activity every day
• Set achievable fitness goals
• Recognize the power and illusion of media messages related to body image
• Respect body-size diversity
• Appreciate yourself for all your assets and strengths
