Big on the Inside Workshops:

“Thanks for giving me the opportunity to participate in your course. I have really benefited from the experience and feel I have developed new understanding and skills to help me deal with my issues around food and eating.
The group was a truly lovely bunch of ladies from whom I also learnt a lot.”

“An atmosphere of trust and open-ness was quickly established, and I really appreciated the opportunity to discuss the issues in a group context – very powerful. I have a feeling that the workshop will continue to have an effect in the longer term.”

Excellent, I liked the continued focus on psychological aspects of eating management. And the Self-improvement.

It was exceedingly useful, especially for me about mood foods and blood sugar levels and also why I had a bad relationship with food.

I feel a lot stronger to take charge of my life. I did not expect to gain so much from the course so was pleasantly surprised. I would recommend this experience to everyone.

What’s the heart got to do with weight loss?

A talk with Mary Jane Roy and Jacinta Noonan – here is what the participants say:

I attended the workshop `What does the heart have to do with achieving your ideal weight?’ last Tuesday in The Hague. A thoroughly enjoyable and informative evening. Lots of thought provoking stuff beautifully brought together by Mary Jane Roy of `Creating Waves’ and Jacinta Noonan of `Big on the Inside’. It all just makes so much sense – Thank you ladies!

I really enjoyed both presentations very much. After many attempts to follow a diet I start to realise that the problem is not just food, but also emotion and “brains”. It was really interesting to hear more about the subject and it made me curious to learn more. The solution is not the “perfect diet”, but the perfect mind set. And maybe I should focus more on myself for a while instead of making everybody else happy. I. Febus

I thought both sections of the presentation were very interesting, motivational and useful for my situation. I was aware that I had an emotional eating – problem but didn’t know how to tackle it. Jacinta’s presentation gave very useful tools to help start working through it.

Your presentation, Mary Jane was hugely interesting. I didn’t know that stress can have so profound effects on the heart and the body. It really gave the motivation to recognise the stress triggers and try to minimise them. And also to try to be kind to myself and remember to laugh more. The venue was very nice too and the group small enough for everybody to have a chance to comment if they wanted to. R. Hagen
