This Sunday, Think Thin

Many of us struggle with a little bit of extra weight. OK, maybe a lot of extra weight. Because we don't have the lofty courtesy of airbrushing at our disposal, if we want to drop those pounds, we have to take care of it on our own.

If you're looking for some weight-loss guidance, Judith S. Beck, PhD, is leading a weight-management workshop on Sunday at the Philadelphia Crown Plaza Hotel. Dr. Beck is Director of the Beck Institute for Cognitive Therapy and Research in Bala Cynwyd, and a Clinical Associate Professor of Psychology in Psychiatry at the University of Pennsylvania. She is also the author of several bestselling diet books.

The agenda for the Think Thin workshop includes the basics of the program, as well as behavioral advice about motivation, cravings, emotional eating, and moderation. The seminar will be followed by a book signing.

Phillyist will be there taking furious notes, and we'll report back next week, with any luck sporting a sufficiently new attitude and slightly fewer Tastykake cravings. What? It could happen!
