Imagine starting the New Year, not having gained 5 to 10 pounds, but having maintained (or maybe even lost a pound or two)! Imagine experimenting with some new practices that will jump start your New Year’s resolutions – and doing it online with others who share your goals!
That’s the concept behind Maintain Don’t Gain: a sane approach to holiday feasting – an online coaching group led by Moira Mallison.
Why Join Maintain Don’t Gain?
Whether you’ve lived your life struggling with weight problems, or you just want to avoid the dreaded “Holiday 10”, this is an opportunity to enjoy all the parties and festive meals with a different perspective. If you’re new to conscious eating practices, you can try them on to see how they fit. If you’re familiar with them, this is an opportunity to renew or deepen your experience with the camaraderie of others who are doing the same.
Maintain Don’t Gain is a collaborative concept; where you’ll have content posted on the web to read, then you can share your comments and thoughts with others.
It’s like an online class, where you can log on anytime that’s convenient for you! There are no scheduled class times.
All the class materials are on the private online classroom that you can access at your convenience. That’s where you’ll interact with your coach and your fellow classmates.
It’s an opportunity to go beyond just reading how to change; it’s an opportunity to share your triumphs and disappointments with others, and learn how to use both to achieve your goals. It’s an opportunity to begin a dialogue about new possibilities, instead of processing your old problems.
Maintain. Don’t Gain. is based on Moira Mallison’s Authentic Body Coaching program – designed to help you learn to own the glory of your own body and the magnificence of your soul.
What is Authentic Body Coaching?
Authentic Body Coaching is the radical act of learning to trust yourself and live fully in your miraculous body. Whether you want to lose weight, get and stay healthy, or make radical changes, coaching provides the support and accountability for you to achieve your goals and step into your life.
It’s based on four key practices designed to help you transform and balance your life. We’re never done with these practices, because as we continue to practice, our experience deepens and becomes richer, expansive and nourishing.
Here are the practices that will bring about change:
- Eat what nourishes and delights you – Learning that eating wholesome, delicious foods is a nurturing, healing choice. And that occasional treats are okay too.
- Savor your food – Start engaging as many bodily senses as you can to full experience the meals you eat.
- Know when enough is enough - It’s not just about stopping when you’ve satisfied your hunger. It’s also to help you get curious about the topic of “what is enough?”
- Eat to fuel your body - Learning to balance signals from your body that you’re hungry – with the fact that your body really does need fuel
This is the foundation of what you can expect to learn – and discuss – with the Maintain Don’t Gain coaching group.
Who is Moira Mallison?
Moira is the creator, coach and cheerleader for the Authentic Body Project. While her story is unique, it probably shares similarities with your life, too. Here is what Moira has to say:
“As a child I loved dance and movement. But as I grew older, I gained weight – and the more I indulged in the foods I wasn’t supposed to eat, the more I stopped movement in my life.
“After years of dieting, binging, therapy an d growth, I experienced a Waves workshop with Gabrielle Roth. I learned that my body – at the weight I was at – was depriving me of the exhilaration of the movement I had once loved, and decided to change that.
“I lost weight (over 50 pounds, but more importantly, I gradually began to discover the hungers that were hidden for a long time – because I thought I was too fat. I realized that it’s not so much about the weight itself – as it is our thoughts and beliefs about the weight.
“I began daring myself to do things – and that was where the FUN began!
“As an Authentic Body Coach, I’m devoted to helping people re-discover the vibrant, gutsy, full-embodied life that comes from re-connecting with all your hungers – and moving forward enthusiastically to satisfy them.
“Now, I’d like to help you, too!”
What Others Say About Moira
I was one of those people who had tried diet after diet. I found dieting to be a struggle and after many attempts I became incredibly discouraged as the number on the scale only seemed to go up. After working with Moira, I realized that I never need to “diet” again. I feel confident in my ability to stay fit and I lost 15 pounds of fat and gained 10 pounds of muscle in the process. I can’t recommend Moira enough, she changed my life!

I remember (more than 5 years ago) when you first introduced these practices to me. Mind-altering! Life changing! And I’m still evolving in my use of them. I find truth and power in these practices.
