FEEDING OURSELVES
   An effective alternative to dieting

Friends of Feeding Ourselves

Over the years, a number of veteran participants of Feeding Ourselves workshops have expressed an interest in remaining connected to the organization in some manner. These individuals are alumni of Phases 1 and 2. Some have chosen to continue to explore their eating and body issues through the on-going therapy group of Phase 3. Others may have chosen individual therapy with a Feeding Ourselves staff member. For all of these alumni, the impact that the program exercises and group support have had on their lives has been significant and they want to find ways to foster the spirit of conscious eating and living, as well as positive attitudes about body image and size. They may even wonder if there is a way for them to "give back" to the organization.

In response to this interest, an off-shoot organization called the Friends of Feeding Ourselves has been formed. We'd like you to be involved in refining the mission of the Friends of Feeding Ourselves. Some ideas we've gathered include 1) ways to stay connected: sharing conscious meals with other alumni or forming a phone chain; 2) outreach efforts: volunteering to speak to individuals interested in taking Phase 1 or inviting a friend to an Open House.

Of course, you know best what your needs are and we are open to hearing about them. If your are a Feeding Ourselves alumnus of Phases 1 and 2, please write or call us with your comments and ideas about forming the Friends of Feeding Ourselves.
