The 10 Biggest Lies We Believe as Truth

I Just read this great blog post by Steph from Trading Pounds

The 10 Biggest Lies We Believe as Truth and How to Break Free of Them

These lies held power over my life for far too long. Every thought, decision and action controlled by them. It wasn’t until I started working with a personal coach, that I was able to see them for what they are and realize their power was mine to reclaim. I had given it freely to them, and I was free to take it back at any time.

But that meant changing my life and it is a part of our natural human condition to fear change. But I’ve learned that the choice to change, to stop believing in the things that don’t serve our best life, is where true power lies . . . weight losing, dream chasing power . . . The kind that gets you where you want to be.

Lie #1 :: I Don’t Have Time
You are given the same 24 glorious hours every day as the rest of us. The real issue isn’t a lack of time, it is a lack of willingness to create what that time will be used for in your life. Even when you sacrifice 19 hours of those days to sleep, employment, meals and commuting, that leaves 5 hours open for creating something great. How many more of those hours are you going to give so frivolously to emails, cat videos on YouTube and boring television shows?
Lie #2 :: I Don’t Want To
You know that feeling when your entire body is physically in protest of doing something? When you get completely and emotionally upset over a thought, choice or idea? When you physically and emotionally respond to a choice, that’s your lizard brain fighting extra hard to keep you standing perfectly still (the physical response) because this is exactly the direction in which you should move and your heart knows it (the emotional response).

To read more of the Lies we tell ourselves, just click this link    (I resonated with Lie No 9!)

Hypno Gastric Lap Band Weight Loss Program

Gastric Band Hypnosis for Weight Loss ~ Can you really lose weight using your imagination?

Can You Really Use Weight Using the Hypno Gastric Lap Band ?

Virtual Gastric Band procedures have been highlighted in the press and on TV a lot lately, because they have been found to be a very effective method of helping obese patients to reduce weight naturally.

The Hypno Gastric Lap Band procedure doesn’t involve scissors and scalpels, but instead a hypnotherapist.

 Inspired by the way that traditional gastric band surgery works, the virtual gastric band restricts the amount of food that can be digested by the body, but without using any invasive and expensive medical procedures. Using proven hypnosis techniques  the treatment effectively “tricks” the brain into believing a real gastric band device has been fitted.

As the band restricts the volume of food that the stomach can hold, this results in a decrease of appetite and food consumption.

Patients who are treated with the virtual gastric band lose weight extremely successfully because they find they’re physically unable to eat as much as they used to, just as though they had undergone the procedure for real.

Research has shown that that Virtual Gastric Band operations using Hypnotherapy are actually as successful as the actual procedure. Even more appealing is the added bonus that there are no medical complications, drugs or side effects and anesthesia is not required. With gastric band hynosis you Lose Weight effectively, safely and naturally without the need for a costly surgical procedure and time off work for recovery time.

Not only does a virtual gastric band weight loss solution allow you to eat less naturally, but it will also allow you to uncover the underlying emotional issues that may be at the root of your weight problem.  

Many people subconsciously use food as a way to deal with stress, poor self esteem, anxiety and depression, and it is absolutely vital to tackle these negative emotions head on in order to enjoy a healthy relationship with food

Success stories are growing more and more over the entire world about how many men and women have benefitted from undergoing virtual gastric band “surgery”. Those who have tried other weight loss programs without any success are finding Hypno Lap Band weight loss programs far more effective.  It isn’t a diet, It just changes the way you eat, how much you eat, and when you eat as opposed to counting calories and skipping meals. Not only that, because this is a long term weight loss program, you will develop eating habits that are healthy and right for you so that even in the future you will still be able to maintain your weight loss by eating properly thanks to your virtual lap band.

Why Diets Don’t Work

What you did yesterday creates who you are today

 

but those choices do not define

 

who you will become

 

Tomorrow

 

  

Maybe you have tried diets, shakes and weight loss pills in the past – only to have failed.

Recently a study into diets was published that showed that diets work for fewer than 10% of the people who use them, but also that the vast majority people who come off a diet end up putting on more weight than before they went on it.

There are over 20 000 published diets – and the world is fatter than it has ever been.

These diets tell you to not eat carbs, eat less fat, etc – but they miss the point – it’s not about the food!

We all know what foods we should be eating. But this is not enough to motivate us to make lasting chances to our diet, if it was we’d all be thin and healthy.

 

  Why Diets Don’t Work?

Reason No. 1

Your body wants to be fat because being fat is the best way to keep you safe!

Your mind is like a computer – it has it’s own software, which helps you organize your thinking and behaviour. All your problems stem from the same cause, negative programs running in the unconscious mind.

Once you realize your mind can work for you … or against you, you can learn to outsmart it, so it is working for you more often.

You can use EFT to remove the limiting beliefs and reprogram your internal computer – your unconscious mind – so you will change the way you think about food and feel better about yourself.

Reason No 2.

 

The more diets people try and fail at, the more they convince themselves that they will never be able to lose weight.

The only way to lose weight and keep it off, is to go to the unconscious mind and change your relationship with food forever. You simply have some unproductive habits – the good news is that once you learn how to reprogram your mind, it will be simple to develop new habits that will create a savvy, slim body.

Reason No 3.

Starving yourself can make you fat

 

What most diet books don’t tell you, is that the reason most diet programs don’t work – is nothing to do with you – it is to do with human biology.

Your body is programmed to protect you from the threats of a prehistoric world such as famine and being eaten.

Thankfully we don’t need to worry about these threats today …. But our bodies don’t know this.

The problem is that the stresses of modern day life produce chemical signals in our bodies and brain that are the exact same chemical signals that are produced when we are starving, so our bodies are tricked into thinking that we need to be fat in order to be safe.

If you’ve been trying to lose weight for a while, your body is probably in continual fat storage mode. It thinks there is a famine, and in response it goes into survival mode and stores fat in your cells, ‘just in case’. The way to lose weight is to de-activate these fat triggers

Reason No. 4

Stress is ruining your metabolism.

We live in a world where stress is epidemic. Stress signals the activation of the sympathetic nervous system. This causes hunger to increase, blood sugar to rise, digestion to slow down, and more. To make matters worse, not only does stress make you fatter, it causes you to gain a specific type of fat, around your belly, that generates more stress hormones, which leads to more weight gain. When we focus on our imperfections, this poor body image causes more stress, which slows down the metabolism even more … and causes more weight gain … and a vicious cycle of body loathing.

Reason No. 5

Low Fat eating is a lie.

Researchers are now discovering that artificial sweeteners may actually cause us to gain weight!

The artificial sweetener tricks the body so effectively, that it releases insulin into the bloodstream to metabolize the food. Since there is no real sugar for the insulin to act upon, it performs it’s secondary duty, which is to store fat!

So you see …. Diets don’t work ! Diets are about what you can’t have and what you must do . If you go on a diet sooner or later you will go off a diet.

Anyone can lose weight on a diet, 
but it’s like puling out a weed. 
 …. unless you pull out the root…. it come right back!
  
That is why you need to get to the underlying issues 
of WHY you are overweight 
because unless these are addressed and cleared, 
any attempt to lose weight will ultimately fail.

Diets only address the symptoms of overeating, 
like weight gain… 

They don’t work at changing you on the inside 

and until the inner you changes, the outer you 
remains the same

Can You Have It All

Savvy Inspired Women

I was sitting on the balcony today, wondering is it really possible to have it all ? 
 
Do you sometimes wonder that as well ?
 
We all want success, health, wonderful relationships, a fantastic career and home. We all want to feel empowered, strong and sexy. We all want to experience abundance, joy and happiness.
 
Some of us achieve this, and some of us endure one  letdown after another. It’s almost as if we have been programmed  to believe that when good things happen …. we had better watch out … because we will eventually fall.
 
Can you relate to this ? 

 
You need to realize that you are not who you’ve been – you are the potential of who you’ll become, and YOU can become anyone you choose to be !
 
It is your actions and reactions that will either sail you into the stormy seas of life …. or guide you towards the most incredible adventures you can imagine.
 
The choice is yours!
 
We can all create an amazing life … but first, we need to clean up the past. Until you face your past and clear up the emotional baggage …. nothing will change …. you will keep running around in circles … like the mouse running around a wheel .
 
You can run , but you can’t hide …. at least from yourself !
 
Self sabotage is a clear sign that you have something weighing on your conscience. Repress your feelings – blame, sorrow, grief, anger, jealousy and eventually they will find a way to reappear.
 
Is the burden of carrying around these feeling’s weighing you down ? Are your shoulders drooping from the weight of your problems? It will  manifest itself in  your life as weight gain, relationship issues, financial mess, health problems and addictions.
 
Are you tired of hanging onto this baggage?
 
If you can’t seen to create or sustain success, you clearly have some unfinished business that needs to be cleaned up!
 
So how do we do this ?
 
Cleaning up your life takes courage, honesty and hard work. It can be tough at times.
 
Look yourself in the mirror and ask yourself ….Why would I create this?’ Who do you see in the mirror … look deep into your heart …. what do you see? What does your reflection tell you about yourself? This is your life. This is you.
 
By having the courage to be honest and look yourself in the mirror, you gain control of your life, your integrity and your dignity.
When a woman feels empowered she can empower others. All aspects of her life will change including her relationships with her partner, family, friends and business associates.
For women, the worst enemy they have is themselves. When a woman can love herself for who she is, everything else in her life becomes better.
 
You may want to have a look at the workshops I hold, or book in for some coaching. I use EFT to release all of that baggage.
 
I guarantee inspiration, transformation, education and empowerment.Women attending these workshops will learn how to love their body, break through self doubt and worry, let go of emotional baggage, learn how to ask for what they want.

Stop Belly Fat

Tummy Fattening Foods To Avoid 

 

Dangerous Additives are secretly hiding in dozens of foods within your kitchen.

 

These additives can cause obesity and these are foods that you’re eating, and feeding to your family, each and every day.

 Some of these foods are …..

 

Cereals – (even those advertised as healthy for children), crackers, breads, chips, pretzels, and pasta

Muesli – I don’t know what it is about muesli that seems to lure in those of us in search of a ‘healthy’ breakfast option. Yes it does have healthy grains , however, add in oils, and corn syrup and our muesli just turned into a hip bulging breakfast

‘Lite’ or ‘Fat Free’ or ‘Diet’ foods – many of these lite and fat free foods taste ok, but if you think about it,  you realize that in order to boost the flavour WHILE removing the fat, something else has to take its place.That’s Sugar! What appears to be a healthy option winds up being nothing more than a high calorie fat for carb swap.

Condiments – tomato sauce, jelly, jams, syrups, gravies, and sauces

Dried, canned, and cured meats

Fruit juice and Soft Drinks – if you make a habit of drinking fruit juices and soft drinks, your blood sugar will spike and crash more than the Stock market! You see, the main problem with fruit juice is that it is a form of ‘liquid calories’. Go check how much sugar is in a serving of orange juice and a coca-cola, you might be shocked to see that it’s practically the same! 10-12 teaspoons of sugar in each!

Processed Foods and Takeaways – this speaks for itself !

 

Salad dressings – including many low-fat and fat-free versions

Eat whole , clean, unprocessed foods as much as possible.

No microwaved dinners, processed snacks, or sugars.

This is  simple ….  vegetables, fruits, and whole grains make you a happier healthy person.

 When you start eating foods that are healthy and natural, your entire life is going to change.

You will feel it in your energy, in your digestion, and in the fat melting off of your body.

  You are what you eat. Choosing to eat healthy, is choosing to BE healthy.

EFT for Weight Loss

How Tapping on 7 Spots Can Reduce Food Cravings

If you have ever had that afternoon ‘chocolate craving’ or keep sabotaging your weight loss program with visits to your local fast food restaurant for burgers and fries , help could be a the tip of your fingers.

Recent discoveries have shown that by simply tapping certain pressure points, you can immediately reduce food cravings and eliminate emotional overeating.

The reason most diets fail is that they don’t address the root cause of weight issues. There are always underlying causes as to why people are overweight and why they overeat. Once the underlying causes of emotional overeating are addressed, you will find it simple and easy to lose weight and explore healthier eating habits.

EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) is a new branch of Energy Psychology and has been shown to be clinically effective in helping these issues, EFT is non-invasive and once you know the technique, it is easy to do yourself . It simply involves tapping on certain acupressure points on the body while saying certain key words.

I have used EFT successfully on my craving for Chocolate, after using EFT it was quite amazing, chocolate just didn’t taste as good and I didn‘t feel the compulsion to eat it.

And there are even more benefits, EFT is also suitable for reducing stress and anxiety , eliminating fears , anger and guilt and creating healthy self esteem

The link between Stress and Weight Gain

Get Slim for Summer

 

Stress changes the landscape of the brain and creates a physiological craving for substances ( such as food or alcohol)

 Recent studies have shown a potential link between high levels of cortisol and excess abdominal fat.

The theory is that dieting – which produces stress for most of us – increases cortisol levels.

 And for women who have dieted on and off again throughout life, they may end up looking more like “apples” than “pears” because of bigger waistlines that may be associated with high cortisol levels. 

Real health risks accompany excess fat in the abdomen – like increased chances of developing diabetes and even heart disease.

 A study published this month demonstrated that women who constantly restrict food (that is, who constantly diet) have higher levels of cortisol, and the researchers speculate that this may spell bad news for bone health. Other studies suggest cortisol levels may be a predictor of fractures for older adults.

Stress hormones aside, we also know that stress makes it harder for women to put their good intentions into action. It puts us on edge, sometimes making the least challenge something that causes us to mindlessly revert back to old, unhealthy habits.
Reducing Stress

So how do we achieve personal health goals without adding to our stress? Consider a healthy lifestyle approach that’s all about feeling great!

Feed yourself well.
Forget calories and fat grams. Instead, focus on feeding yourself balanced meals and snacks when you’re hungry and stopping when you’re satisfied. Most of us get hungry about every 3-5 hours, but if you’re not sure when you’re hungry and when you’re not, try putting yourself on a schedule that starts with breakfast and includes lunch and dinner and 2-3 snacks, if hungry. Also be sure to eat balanced meals that include Grains/Starchy Vegetables, Protein Foods and Fruits &/or Vegetables. If you’re particularly hungry between meals, make sure your snacks include Protein Foods, which may help you be better satisfied.

Give up notions about “good,” “bad,” and “forbidden” foods.
Bottom line: If we forbid a food, it often makes us want it more. So learn to eat all foods, and learn to tune in to what you really want, not just what you think you want because you “shouldn’t” have it.

Move your body regularly.
Yes, we’re talking about physical activity. There’s much more to physical activity than burning calories. It’s a tremendous stress reducer, and its feel-good benefits kick in almost immediately! Make your regular physical activity something you look forward to by coming up with fun ways to move your body. Try dancing, skiing, snowshoeing, gardening, playing catch with the kids. And, remember, you don’t need to devote long periods every day to physical activity.

Think positively about yourself and your body.
Starting to accept yourself now…just as you are…no matter whether you think you need to lose weight or get in better shape or whatever. Negative self-talk has tremendous power to knock us off track. By starting to support ourselves in our minds now, we help ourselves stay on track with our fitness efforts. Accepting yourself does not mean that there isn’t room for improvement. It just helps you treat yourself well so that you can better find your way to personal health goals.

Take time for yourself every day.
Whether it’s 10 minutes to reflect and relax, or whether it’s some fun activity that will revitalize you, it’s critical to do it! Make a list of activities that you really like and try to find time for at least one every day. Here are a few activities to get you thinking about what you can do to help yourself to regular “time-outs.”

Get a massage or foot-rub.
Send/buy yourself fresh flowers.
Listen to a relaxation audiotape.
Read for fun.
Take a long, relaxing bubble bath.
Do a crossword puzzle.
Take a walk on the beach.
Take a yoga class.
