Meet Our Speakers: Jill Temkin, MA
Sep 06, 2012
As a WLS post-op, Jill Temkin, MA knows firsthand that surgery can dramatically improve your health and your life. She also knows that these dramatic changes can be fleeting if you don’t take charge and make the internal changes necessary to support your newfound health and wellbeing. In response to her own journey for support, she has developed an innovative approach to weight loss surgery aftercare that helps you develop practical tools to enjoy your new body and your new outlook on life...long-term.
Don't miss Jill's breakout session at the OH Atlanta, GA event on October 5th and 6th: Taming Your Inner Critic: The Connection Between What You Feed Your Head & What You Feed Your Body, on Saturday in Grand Salon B!

OH asked Jill to share 3 things about herself that our members might not know. She wrote:
- I have a very dry sense of humor and really value playfulness, in myself and others.
- I left my "safe," well-paying job of 10 years (in this economy) to risk doing what matters most to me: developing aftercare support services that genuinely contribute to the health and well-being of others on their WLS journey.
-Showing up for my new life 4+ years after WLS takes a steady, inner courage that I sometimes need to reconnect with on a daily basis. I still wake up each morning aware of both:
-Deep gratitude for how present, juicy and alive I feel, and,
-Fearful that I will STILL somehow let myself or others down, but this time, I can't blame it on my weight or poor health.
Don't forget to stop by and see Jill in Atlanta!
