.Finally a program that deals with emotional eating
So many of us have been left disappointed, discouraged and hopeless after multiple attempts to lose weight without success. Encounter Weight Loss takes you away from the one-dimensional “food only” approach used by most diets and invites you into a deeper journey to address the social, emotional and spiritual components of weight loss which are largely ignored by the weight loss industry.
Our weight loss approach combines the latest breakthroughs in nutritional science with a step by step approach to resolving emotional eating, breaking free from quick-fix dieting and moving into permanent lifestyle change. At Encounter Weight Loss, we not only teach you how to change your eating habits, we show you how to recognize and deal with the stress, triggers and past experiences that trip you up every time you you set off on a weight loss journey.
WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT ENCOUNTER WEIGHT LOSS
I was very reluctant about Encounter Weight Loss as I was worried that I would fail to lose weight ... again. Yet as I learned about the program and found support through the free online support group, what I discovered was a group of women who would support me and not judge me in my quest to become healthier. What I have gained is the support of wonderful women, freedom from cravings, an ability to move more freely, and an increased confidence in myself and my relationship with God. What I have lost is a substantial amount of weight and a feeling of helplessness and hopelessness.

I was introduced to Encounter Weight Loss in June of 2019. I was highly skeptical as I have tried numerous weight loss programs. I decided
I would take it seriously and change what I was eating. In the past six months I’ve lost thirty-five pounds. What I have gained is good and godly teaching, the support of others with similar struggles, and strategies to make changes. What I no longer miss is the sugar highs and lows. The cravings for sugar or unhealthy foods. The times of feeling hangry (hungry-angry), particularly in the late afternoon. I appreciate the holistic approach of Encounter Weight Loss since food is only part of our wellbeing. It examines our emotions, our relationship to food, what is at the root of issues around food, and most importantly where is God in this relationship. I am thankful for Encounter Weight Loss making a difference in my life.

I have lost 100 pounds since I started the Encounter Weight Loss pro- gram. I now work for a fitness company helping people transform their lives. I have even been invited onto TV to tell a bit of my story. Thank you for being you and being there in my time of desperation.

I have been overweight since I was a kid, and had a hard time losing weight and keeping it off. I had developed type 2 diabetes in my 40s.
In my 50s I had become quite ill with all the complications of diabetes: uncontrolled blood sugar, high blood pressure, lots of inflammation, which made it painful to move around. I heard that Wendy Peter was running a focus group for Encounter Weight Loss, so I joined. I learned how to eat real food, and making sure I had proper nutrition made me feel so much healthier. I began to understand the issues around food that caused me to emotionally eat, and learning new skills to deal with these issues was something I had never experienced in any other weight loss program before. The encouragement to keep on the journey and not look at slip ups as failure made it so much easier to stick with the changes. Weight started coming off, my blood pressure came down, my blood sugar came back to normal, the inflammation in my body started to heal, and the pain went away. Now in my 60s, I feel healthier than I have for years.

Encounter Weight Loss has been instrumental in my healing from emotional eating. This journey with EWL has given me tools and given me a safe space to deal with the pain and trauma that lead me to turn to food for comfort. It’s definitely a journey that’s life long, but I’m so thankful for this program that has inspired me to find the confident woman that was always inside me. I’ve lost 55 pounds, but the inward change is worth far more than weight loss.
