My name is Pat Deegan. I am not thin, and I am not alone. America has super-sized portions and has unwittingly supersized its waistline. Additionally, those of us with psychiatric diagnoses often use medications that cause us to gain significant amounts of weight. These medications can cause sedation, food cravings, weight gain, diabetes, high cholesterol, and other challenges to our health.
Learning to effectively manage my food cravings was a key to getting my health back on track. Since discovering my Personal Medicine, I have the tools and know-how to keep food cravings from disrupting my goals for wellness.
This is not a diet or weight reduction program. It is a Guide for those of us who struggle with powerful urges to eat foods that lead us away from our wellness goals.
This Guide contains education, workbook-style exercises, Personal Medicine Cards, tracking tools and reflection questions.
Guides are designed for single use by an individual and can be self-directed or staff supported.
