FREE download - weight loss techniques that really work
If you’ve been struggling with your weight for a long time it can be soul destroying to witness the seemingly effortless approach to food and eating exhibited by your slim friends or colleagues. How come it’s so easy for them?
How do they do it? Try these 5 tasks over the next couple of weeks. They are designed to make you think about food and your relationship with it in new ways. They will also give you a taster of how I can work with you to challenge existing behaviour patterns and help you model new ones, as well as working with you to devise a healthy eating and exercise programme. Print them out then stick them somewhere you will see them on a daily basis - on the fridge, in the car, the inside of a kitchen cupboard:
Your SlimFocus Tasks:
1. Your challenge: Do you eat when you are hungry?
When thoughts turn to food, ask yourself THE most important question of all. Am I hungry? No? Then don’t eat. Not sure? Then you’re not hungry. Light-headed, rumbling tum and emptiness that’s difficult to ignore? Go ahead and eat. Becoming aware of what your body needs rather than what you want is a simple but important step in slim thinking.
2. Your challenge: Do you stop eating when you are full?
When you’re eating out don’t make your choice based on the calorific content of the food. Order just what you want and stop eating IMMEDIATELY you begin to sense the onset of fullness.
3. Your challenge: Forbidding foods ultimately leads to weight gain - can you live with all foods?
On your next visit to the supermarket buy some of your ‘forbidden’ or ‘bad’ foods. You know what they are! Bring them home, store them and just get used to having them around. You need to become comfortable with all types of food again. Depriving yourself of your favourite foods will make you miserable, obsessive and rebellious.
4. Your challenge: Can you begin thinking and acting like a slim person?
Make a list of all the things you are waiting to get slim to do. Apply for a new job? Take your kids swimming? Book a cruise? Have a makeover? Whatever it is, write it/them down. There are likely to be lots. Look through your list and begin doing *2 ‘slim’ things (Slimactions) each week*. Does it feel scary? Good.
5. Your challenge: Do you believe you can be slim?
Almost 60% of women recently surveyed admitted that although they follow one diet after another, they don’t really believe they’ll ever achieve the body to which they aspire. This means that they don't fully commit to their goal resulting in yet another inevitable failure. They hang on to 'fat' clothes or don't invest much in any venture such as a personal trainer/gym membership because (as inwardly they're resigned to failure) they see it as an eventual waste of time and money. If people really believed they were going to succeed their actions would be very different.
