Weight loss boot camp – pleasure or pain?

When you get up in the morning, what motivates you to get out of bed? Do you lie there for as long as you can until the unpleasant consequences of not getting up e.g. being late for work, or being late getting the children to school, become a real possibility, or do you leap out of bed thinking the sooner you get up the more time you will have to get ready, or that you will have time for that cooked breakfast.

Both of these are based on different motivation strategies that influence everything you do:  Every decision you make is influenced by whether it will cause you pleasure or pain.

This is a short extract from ‘Weight loss in Mind’ by Janet Thomson:

Crazy as it sounds if you assume that this programme will work even before you start it works, even better. There is no programme that works for everyone, but the success rate for my material is extremely high: in fact it works for EVERYONE who does actually DO IT, as opposed to just read it.

If you are a bit nervous about trying something new – good! That will make you be more inquisitive. When you were a child you were naturally curious, that’s how you learnt so much in such a short space of time. Approach this programme like a child learning a new skill: children like to try and experience everything, to prove to themselves things really happen. Tell a child not to touch something as its hot and most of them reach out and touch it, just to prove it to themselves, at least until they learn better! So go back to your childhood way of learning, which is to have as much fun as possible and gain information that will help you now and in the future. A “weight loss” book that is fun? Now there’s a first!!

If you feel confused at times that’s FANTASTIC: confusion means your brain is working and accepting new information that it hasn’t had before and trying to put it into some kind of filing system or programme where it can be accessed. Richard Bandler the co creator of NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming) describes confusion as “An opportunity to rearrange experience and organise it in a different way than you normally would. That allows you to learn to do something new and see and hear the world in a new way”. Confusion comes before understanding.

This is a short extract from ‘Weight loss in Mind’ by Janet Thomson:

You want to lose weight or you wouldn’t have searched for and found this website. You are not happy with how you look, feel or both and you want to be different from how you are now. You want to change – but you don’t know how. Chances are you have tried other “diets” and either failed miserably or succeeded short term only to put the weight straight back on plus a few more pounds for good measure. Depressing wasn’t it?

What I would ask you to do is  for the time being is suspend all “beliefs” you have about what works and what doesn’t and be open to try something completely different, something new that is based on changing how you THINK rather than just what you eat. After all if you didn’t “think” you wanted a bar of chocolate or an extra slice of pizza, you wouldn’t eat it!

This is not a programme that you just read, it is programme that you DO.  You are not going to be a passive reader you will be an active participant.  I can and will show you the exercises to do, but YOU HAVE TO DO THEM! You can achieve whatever you want to. Exited? YES you will be.

Weight Loss – What do you believe?  (part 3)

This is a short extract from ‘Weight loss in Mind’ by Janet Thomson:

Complete the first part of the following statement – be honest:
The because part of the sentence which automatically comes next in your internal chatter is how you justify this limiting belief. These comments are based on past experiences or observations that you have accepted as the only outcome of you trying to achieve your goal. In coaching many people approach this part of the sentence first, and that can work well: However it can be quicker and more beneficial to address the limiting belief head on and not bother with the “because” part. In my experience the word “because” often precedes a torrent of verbal bullshit, either from internal chatter or words someone actually verbalises when telling me why they can’t achieve something.

Weight Loss – What do you believe?  (part 2)

This is a short extract from ‘Weight loss in Mind’ by Janet Thomson:

Beliefs are formed during childhood. When we are children we believe we are capable of absolutely anything until the grown ups teach us otherwise and start putting limits on our behaviour.

•    don’t touch the oven
•    don’t run across the road
•    don’t go near the waters edge

We are taught not to do so many things that it becomes almost second nature to think about everything in negative terms: Even though these are very “good” instructions that teach us how to be safe, taking this concept into every aspect of our life i.e. focusing on what we “Can’t do” can lead to us developing a string of negative beliefs.

When you fail at something more than once, it can lead to a belief that you will never be able to do it. Once you believe you cannot do something you stop trying, in-fact you often subconsciously avoid anything connected with this “thing” to protect yourself against the pain of failure: in this way your negative or limiting belief becomes a self fulfilling prophecy. You think you can’t, therefore you can’t.
The nature of limiting beliefs is that once you have them you “honour” them in a way that stops you progressing or achieving what you truly desire.  What don’t you believe you can achieve?

Beliefs surround your weight loss results

This is a short extract from ‘Weight Loss in Mind’ by Janet Thomson:

Many years experience working for national diet & fitness clubs, in my own health clubs and with hundreds of individual clients, has taught me a lot about goal setting: I have watched and studied clients and identified a clear pattern and set of behaviours and beliefs that separates those who achieve their goals from those who don’t. I can share those differences with you now so that YOU are someone who achieves their goals.
