Our mindset holds tremendous power when it comes to facilitating behaviour change. The way we think impacts our attitude, motivation, and resilience when it comes to sticking with and pursuing our goals. In this 4-week module, we will practice managing unhelpful thoughts using strategies based in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). Common thinking traps will be addressed such as negative predictions, mind reading thoughts, all or nothing thinking and self-criticism.

This session is facilitated by internist, Dr. Sylvie Galindo. Obesity is a progressive, relapsing, chronic, medical disease that requires ongoing evaluation and treatment like any other chronic disease. In this group, we will discuss other interventions for obesity management beyond long-term lifestyle changes (diet, physical activity, and mental wellness). The physician will review medical interventions (pharmacotherapy/medications and bariatric surgery) and when they might be necessary for a patient to consider and possibly undergo. Medical and surgical interventions do not take the place of lifestyle intervention, but they do provide a patient with additional support for the management of their obesity. Even if you do not wish to consider medication or surgery for weight loss, it is important that you are fully aware of the most up to date options to assist with the management of serious weight problems. This group is mandatory for patients with a Body Mass Index (BMI) over 40, or BMI over 35 with at least one obesity-related health condition, and you will receive an e-mail if you have not yet been told about these interventions.
