Food for Thought
Thanksgiving turkey and Halloween candy are over for this year… but another holiday season is looming.
Are you already feeling doomed when it comes to controlling your eating and your weight? Do you feel guilty about what you eat? Are you ashamed because you failed again this year? Is “dieting” at the top of your New Year’s Resolution list……again?
The weight loss industry WANTS YOU. If you are thinking of going on a diet again – DON’T!!!!!
There are many reasons why going on yet another diet doesn’t make sense. The most powerful reason of all is because it hasn’t worked, doesn’t work and will statistically never work. In reality, 97% of dieters regain everything they lost and then some within three years.
But there is an alternative. There is an easy, effortless and low risk of failure solution to the problem. If you understand what controls your behaviour and you understand the basic rules of learning, then it will become simple for you to control your eating behaviour. Fortunately, the skills you need are easily acquired.
By using a combination of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and behavioural and environmental engineering you can move closer to a weight and life that is most meaningful for you. As a student in our program you will learn that:
- You are not that “fat” person, but the person who has that thought
- There is no such thing as “willpower”
- Hunger is not the issue
- Your habits get you “hooked”
- It’s not what you eat, it’s how you eat it
- Mindful eating leads to control
- Lack of confidence is holding you back
This is not a “diet breakthrough”. This is a new way of looking at weight problems in the context of living a life that is truly fulfilling.
Balance the scale once and for all with Balancing ACT for Weight Control.
