Finding My Own Miracle
When I started my weight-loss quest I was determined not to go on a diet because it is my observation and personal experience that diets simply do not work.
Over the years that I have gained weight I have tried countless weight-loss schemes, from Atkins (low carb) to Susan Powter (high carb) to low fat to food combining to … well you name it!
The one eating plan that had me feeling the best is the 40-30-30 plan. I have tended to go back to that one again and again, not because I lost weight on it, but because I felt GOOD, alert and had energy. The problem was, this eating plan requires discipline and planning. Two things I never could sustain for more than two weeks at a time.
Six years ago when I moved to Vancouver, I decided to walk more and stop obsessing about losing weight. For over four years I managed to maintain my weight without dieting. Walking almost daily took care of the rest. Then, because I got busy with some big freelancing contracts I let that go. I stopped walking and started gaining.
And finally, I reached the point where I decided it was time to STOP. It was time to go from BIG BLOB to Slim, Trim, Strong, Fit and Maybe Even Downright Skinny!
I decided to use only mind/body techniques in order to lose the weight. I already knew that hypnosis and several other mind/body techniques could produce miracles and I was determined to find my own miracle.
Tomorrow I’ll tell you about the techniques I have used to lose 40 pounds.
