Personal Details

Bio

For years, Margie Odom, M.Ed., LMFT, was on the diet roller coaster struggling with emotional eating and poor body image and could not find a diet that helped her succeed. She tried it all, so when nothing worked, she knew she had to dig deeper if she wanted a lasting change in her life. It was then that she realized she needed to come to grips with the weight that she carried within. As a therapist, coach, author and speaker, Margie helps others stop their emotional eating cycle by using her proven strategies that helped her find a solution to end her cycle of yo-yo dieting for good. Thanks to her book, "The Weight Within: Healing Emotional Eating from the Inside Out," and her coaching programs she has been able to help clients free themselves from the weight within and start living their best lives. Margie earned her undergraduate degree in psychology from Emory University, completed her master’s degree in counseling at the University of Georgia, and completed her coursework in Marriage and Family Therapy at Western Kentucky University. Known for her honesty, humor, and passion for learning, Margie’s emotional eating clients benefit from her personal success and deep desire to share her creative programs with others. Her mission is to help as many people as possible break free from emotional eating and live the life they were meant to live. Learn more by visiting www.WeightWithin.com.

The Weight Within: The Path to Making Peace with Food and Your Body

In this interactive presentation (45 min-1 hour), I will share my personal journey with emotional eating as well as the ways in which the diet industry is doing great damage to people's metabolism and psyche. Participants will learn about the different types of weight we are burdened with beyond the physical weight that we have become so focused on, as well as exciting new tools and practical solutions that they can start using right away to break free from yo-yo dieting for good.
We will do a deep dive into negative beliefs of self that come from the constant search for weight loss, traumas that lead to emotional eating as well as come from weight cycling and new ways to view food and your body for sustainable health and wellness.
