			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Giving up smoking is for many people not easy, but every year hundreds of thousands of people manage it. Make no mistake that’s fantastic. However, many of these same people struggle and fail to lose weight; Why? the difference between weight loss and stopping smoking is just that – there’s no stopping eating. It’s not a case of deleting one programme (i.e. smoking) and that’s it, but you must adapt existing programmes and make changes to something that you have to do every day, in order to survive. This requires some specific fine tuning when it comes to changing behaviours. Over the last 20 years I have written 2 best -selling “diet books”, worked with celebrities and people from all walks of life, been a consultant for one of the country’s leading Diet and Fitness Clubs, and helped literally thousands of people lose weight, often many stones. I ran my own chain of Health Clubs in the Midlands for twelve years, and some of the results I achieved with my clients was sensational, but I noticed one thing, and it bothered me greatly. Many of these people lost loads of weight, but STILL felt bad about themselves. They had to deprive themselves of many pleasures to achieve it, and there were many who just didn’t have the “will power” to achieve their goals, and gave up. Having spent years studying Exercise and Nutrition Science, I turned my attention to psychological therapy, so I could help more people not just lose weight, but do so in a way that did NOT involve feeling depressed or deprived, and created new thoughts and feelings that literally changed their mind as well as their body. The WEIGHT LOSS IN MIND programme was born. <a href="http://www.powertochange.me.uk/seminarinfo.asp?ID=16">http://www.powertochange.me.uk/seminarinfo.asp?ID=16</a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>This is a short extract from ‘<strong>Weight loss in Mind’</strong> by Janet Thomson: </em></p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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!!</p>
<p>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<em> “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”</em>. Confusion comes before understanding.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>This is a short extract from ‘<strong>Weight loss in Mind’</strong> by Janet Thomson: </em></p>
<p>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?</p>
<p>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!</p>
<p>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.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Weight Loss – What do you believe?  (part 3) </strong></p>
<p><em>This is a short extract from ‘<strong>Weight loss in Mind’</strong> by Janet Thomson: </em></p>
<p>Complete the first part of the following statement – be honest:<br />
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.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Weight Loss – What do you believe?  (part 2) </strong></p>
<p><em>This is a short extract from ‘<strong>Weight loss in Mind</strong>’ by Janet Thomson: </em></p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>•    don’t touch the oven<br />
•    don’t run across the road<br />
•    don’t go near the waters edge</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.<br />
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?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Weight Loss – What do you believe?  (part 1) </strong></p>
<p><em>This is a short extract from ‘<strong>Weight loss in Mind’</strong> by Janet Thomson: </em></p>
<p>There have been people in history who have had such strong beliefs  that their behaviour and the way they lived their lives changed the way you and I live our lives today for good. Amongst the people we have to thank are:</p>
<p>•    Christopher Columbus for believing the World was round not flat<br />
•    Isaac Newton for believing that light could be transmitted through a bulb<br />
•    Martin Luther King for believing the colour of your skin doesn’t make you less of a person<br />
•    Christian Barnard for believing it was possible to take a heart or other organ out of one body and transplant it successfully into another<br />
•    Emmeline Pankhurst for believing women should have the same rights to vote as men</p>
<p>Without people questioning traditionally held beliefs we might still believe the world was flat, or that man could never travel to the moon, or that it isn’t possible to run a mile in less than four minutes! We have Roger Bannister to thank for that one: Interestingly as soon as he shattered that belief and proved it could be done, within months other athletes were achieving the same seemingly “impossible” task. Now when elite athletes train for this distance they expect to be sub four minutes. When you consider beliefs in these terms you begin to see how important it is when goal setting, to have a well formed belief system that works on the basis of what you can do.</p>
<p><em>Order the book &amp; CD set ‘Weight Loss in Mind’ or reserve your place on Janet’s forthcoming weight loss boot camp weekend.  Both are available from this website.</em></p>
