By Julie McDonald Why cant I stop eating the wrong foods? Why does my weight fluctuate? Why doesnt this diet work? These are questions that I have been asking myself for over 25 years and once and only once did I reach my goal weight..but, I put it all back on plus some! Actually, when I look back over my adult years, this seems to have formed a pattern! Loosing weight then gaining it all back on, then usually more!!!!!!! I had tried almost everything on the diet market to help me loose weight from food delivered to my home to fad dieting to formula drinks but inevitability it all went back on. Over the years of being fat, I would watch all the thin people and secretly admire from a distance I used to fantasize that I was in their body pretending to be them, walk like them, have the family like them, they seemed to have it all I didnt think I did. I used to ask myself, why cant I be like them, why cant I stop eating the wrong foods. My life was reflecting my weight fluctuations. If things werent right in my work or personal life I used to eat! If I was successful at work and happy in my personal life I used to eat! I believe I had become an emotional eating machine .food gave me the comfort I needed. Also, I found that my children were copying my behaviour; they were becoming emotional eating machines, so this also made me eat!!!!! Meanwhile, my wardrobe reflected my yo yo dieting. I had my fat clothes, my medium size clothes and my slim clothes which were ones from 20 years ago! I couldnt throw them out they gave me hope that maybe something would happen and eventually work and I would be wearing them again. I would talk to friends and say it is so hard to loose weight and keep it off and they would agree with me, then we would order a pastry with our latte! I finally realized that my behaviour, my attitude towards myself and my words I used were to my detriment. All the fad diets I had tried gave me a quick fix of the comfort I was seeking, but they never helped me keep the weight off. How can some people achieve their goal weight and keep it there, yet I couldnt? I had read somewhere that fad diets are used to loose a few kilos, like a quick fix, maybe for that special occasion, but they dont assist us in sustaining the weight loss and we inevitably put it all back on, and usually some more. So, I started reading what ever I could get my hands on for alternate ways of maintaining weight loss and developed a program that I used for myself. The results over the last 6 months are 15 kilo (33 lbs) of weight loss, two dress sizes lost AND I am still loosing weight. During my research I studied NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming) and Hypnosis. Whilst I have used these on myself, I would like to share with you My 10 Triumphant Tricks to Permanent Weight Loss: 1. Affirmations Incorporate positive affirmations in your every day. Choose a separate one each day and say it over and over whenever you remember, such as I like myself or I am worthwhile or I am attractive or I will reach my dress size I desire 2. Mirror Magic When you look at yourself in the mirror, say I am getting slimmer or I like the shape of my body and look at yourself in a positive way. 3. Retail Therapy Buy something you really like in the next size down and hang it in your bedroom so you can easily see it. 4. Visualization Before you fall off to sleep of a night, with your eyes closed, visualize yourself wearing this garment, feel yourself with more energy and vitality, and hear people telling you how fantastic you look. Do this each night. 5. Journal Magic Keep this with you and write in what you are feeling and doing (as in the emotions and activity) when you desire the wrong food. Look at this at the end of the week, and see what pattern of behaviour is. E.g. afternoons you are bored and lacking energy and need that so called sugar fix. There are three answers here. 1. Replace the sugar fix it with that is good food, such as watermelon. 2. Change the activity to another time of the day. 3. Replace the emotion with something you really like to do, e.g. read a book, take a nap or simple go outside and take 10 deep breaths you find what will fulfill that emotion. 6 Take Action Do an exercise that you enjoy, even if it is walking through the water in your pool. Eventually, you will gain more energy and move on to other forms of exercise. 7. Act as if.. Take a look around and find someone who has lost weight and kept it off. Either a friend or a celebrity. Observe or read up on them and find out their method and copy. E.g. they may have found a walking buddy or simply didnt have anything in their home that was the wrong type of food e.g. high in fat. 8 Photo Magic Select some slim photographs of yourself and put them in places in the house you are frequently in. Such as on the fridge, next to your bed, on the mirror and next to the computer. 9. Intentions At the beginning of each day, before you get out of bed, set yourself and intention for the day. E.g. Today is going to be a great day or I will eat sensibly today or I will enjoy my exercise or Today I will eat smaller portions. 10. Believe in yourself This is the most important trick and I have left it to last. Always, always, keep a strong positive belief that you will be the size you truly desire and really live this belief, see it, hear it and feel it. Make it part of your being you do deserve to be the size you dream of! Keep away from negative thoughts, words and behaviours, this will bring you down. Whether you think you will succeed or not, you are right Henry Ford This program will soon be on line to buy, but now only available face to face with Sydney Australia people. I truly wish you all the success. If I can do this, you can too. Please contact me and let me know what you think of my article.
