10 Tips to Avoid Weight Gain at Christmas

12/15/2015

The attitude at Christmas is that you have permission to over indulge and then you will be fighting the battle of the bulge in the New Year.

Even though Christmas is one day the celebrations over a week can add massive kilos and thwart all your possible good work in managing your weight. You think I’ll get it off after Christmas and this is why a lot of people have a New Year’s resolution to lose weight.
​
Rather than have to find the cure, PREVENTION is definitely the best way to approach the silly season when it comes to enjoying yourself in moderation.

Know that all excess goodies will lead to excess weight so do not fool yourself!

1. Never arrive HUNGRY
And do not stop yourself from eating knowing you are going somewhere to have food. Being too hungry will lead to over eating so fill up on water before you start or have a little something even a teaspoon of peanut butter or a couple of spoonfuls of yoghurt just to sustain you so that you have better control later.

2. Focus on FUN not FOOD
​Do not look at the party you are going to as an eating event instead have the attitude that meeting the people and having fun is better than the food. Create your expectation around fun not eating and while you are there, focus on the social conversations and activities rather than the food.

3. Say NO to PICKING
Don’t just pick if it is a buffet style event. Get yourself a plate. Research shows that in an environment whereby you just keep picking at food you will consume up to 70% MORE than you need.

4. COUNT each piece
Count what you are eating. If it’s cocktail nibbles or Canapas then keep a toothpick for every one you eat. This way it is easy to calculate just how much is going in. If not, just keep a running tally so you don’t over indulge.

5. CHOOSE the smallest plate available
If it is a buffet meal, then chose the smallest plate and do not stack your food. Limit your helpings and stay attentive to your stomach and if you are not hungry, STOP go and have a drink of water.

6. LIMIT your Alcohol
Remember that calories are not just eaten they are consumed in massive amount by what you are drinking. By drinking too much you will begin to overeat too as the alcohol turns to sugar and then makes you more hungry, it also stops you from feeling full, this leads to vomiting and feeling pretty miserable for at least a couple of days later.
KNOW YOUR LIMITS!

7. Be SELECTIVE when it comes to treats or sweets
If you know that you are the type of person who cannot stop at one bite then you are better off taking a small portion of dessert rather than piling your plate up with several treats. Plan to pick just one, make it small and savour it.

8. TAKE your own food or treats
Having control over your own chosen treats can help you get away from eating high fat alternatives. People love fruit so take your own fruit platter and you could take your own healthy bliss balls that are not processed which may enable you to just stick to eating your own helathy options without feeling deprived.

9. STOP picking and tasting while you cook
If you are doing the catering STOP PICKING and TASTING while you are cooking, this will stop you from consuming a full calorific meal before you plate or put food out for your guests.

See if you can demonstrate control and dare yourself not to taste until the food is out. Go on I dare YOU! And remember if you are not hungry then don’t eat.

10. Get OFF the couch
After you have eaten, plan to go for a walk or do some sort of exercise to get off the couch. Going for a long walk after a meal will not just benefit you physically it will also put you into a different mindset and puts you in control.

Why Connection and Weighing In is Important

3/11/2015

0 Comments

 
It is so important to make connection with those people who are like minded and KNOW that on your weight loss journey there are other people just like you who have had the same kinds of challenges, trials and tribulations.
  • I never abandon my clients, they do however abandon me.
  • I make myself readily available and others will attest to that.
  • I never stand in judgement because I want what you want
  • And that is to reduce in weight; get slim, healthy and enjoy the rest of your life as a slim person

If it is possible for me and others then it is possible for you - it is just a question of how. And I supply that how … connect with me here by sending me a friend request today.

WHY IS IT IMPORTANT TO BE AFFILIATED WITH LIKE MINDED PEOPLE?

Take what happened back in the year 1846 for example.
1846 was the year a group of American pioneers (known as the Donner Party) got snowbound high in the Sierra Nevada Mountains.


Almost half the people died.


That was to be expected considering the dire circumstances that befell the pioneers.

But what is strange only came to light 150 years later when an anthropologist from the University of Washington took a fresh look at who lived and who died in the Donner Party.

What this anthropologist found is that there was an unmistakable pattern in who lived and who died in the Donner Party.

The unmistakable pattern found was this:

Members of family groups were much more likely to survive than those who were traveling alone.


Virtually none of the loners lived, even though; they were mostly young
men who should have been stronger and more hardy than children, middle-aged parents and aunts and uncles.


In other words, affiliation with a group turned out to be more important
to survival than strength.

That pattern is evident today, with those who endure and progress furthest in their ambitions to create change in their lives

Those that go it alone, trying to master change on their own "strength" nearly always fizzle away never to be seen again.

Whereas those who get connected and stay connected with a "family" of other people interested and focused survive, attain and achieve their goals.

I am here for you. Become part of the family.

Those who weigh in WIN

Become part of a growing group that cares and is there to help

Make contact with me - Denise Boston.  09 441 9516

Your weight problems can be solved; it is a question of connection and action

Take your action come to weigh in on Tuesday nights 5 -7pm and Sunday morning 8 – 10.  Make sure you are early as the door closes at 10am every Sunday except for Public Holidays and special notified days.

WILLPOWER TO LOSE WEIGHT

2/18/2015

0 Comments

 
It can be frustrating demoralising and depressing to say the least trying to shed those excess kilos.

One of the main reasons people fail is that they rely too much on WILLPOWER.


In a survey 27 of people attributed their lack of willpower as being the most significant barrier to make change.


Yes there is a willpower centre in the brain, research has found it and it is all of 15 minutes.

People blame a faulty willpower for their imperfect choices in behaviour that keeps them stuck in the FAT ZONE.

This is because willpower is the ability to resist short term temptation in order to meet long term goals.

And this just isn’t about weight; it affects every area of your life.

HERE IS HOW WILLPOWER WORKS:
As you go through the day Willpower depletes with decision making and stress so here is what willpower looks like…
  • You wake up with your 15 minutes of WILLPOWER - think of it as a fuel tank less than a quarter full.
  • So here you are on a diet, trying to be good…
  • You have to get yourself to work, maybe you are running late, traffic is bad, stress is building and your willpower has taken a hit.
  • On getting into work you are trying to deal with emails, field calls and suddenly there is a challenge and problem that stresses you out even more.
  • You have to make some decisions about what to do and that it is another stress (more fuel gone).
  • You can’t think straight - creating more stress (your warning willpower light is on – you’ve nearly run out!!)
  • By the time you get to lunch time, guess what?
  • You have no willpower left, you have emptied the tank not a drop is left.
  • You say “Just give me anything! Give me what you have got, I’ll eat anything, I don’t care, I need comfort, I need that Sausage Roll and Sally Lung and Chocolate……”
  • Then when you eat those things you realise that you have just done a bad thing and now you feel stressed even more and possibly feel ‘guilty’.
  • You are beating yourself up, reducing any willpower that may have refilled, you couldn’t begin to even ignite a spark of willpower - it’s gone.
  • You feel fed up decide losing weight is failing, this means you are failing, you feel bad so have another sausage roll or chocolate bar because you may as well right?
ANOTHER INTERESTING FACT ABOUT WILLPOWER
The lack of willpower affects every aspect of your life. Life failures are due to the lack of self-discipline. Studies have uncovered similar willpower patterns, that create failure; and you fail because you lack willpower.

For example a study showed that students who had a greater self-control score attained much higher grades average.  They also had higher self-esteem, they didn’t binge eat, did not overdo alcohol and they had better relationships.

The way willpower can be strengthened is by practice.

Would you like to have greater willpower? Be more confident, have greater self-esteem, resist in the face of temptation?

You can.
There are 3 components in a study Roy Beaumeister, PhD a psychologist in Florida State University describes them as follows:
  1. Establish motivation for change and a BIG enough why
  2. Monitor your behaviours towards that goal; be mindful
  3. Exercise replenishing Willpower you need and begin to exercise the ways in which you win and are able to stick to new habits and behaviours that will support you.

What is it you WANT for Yourself?

12/12/2014

0 Comments

 
Even as your body betrays you, your mind denies it.


― Sara Gruen, Water for Elephants 

At this time of year we get reflective about the past 12 months and then make good intentions (resolutions) for the next year. It's a time to ‘get real' - then do it. Denial is a bit like the attitude of tomorrow … it never comes! What comes out of truth is action and determination.

Take a look at yourself what are you denying and what is Denial robbing you of or denying you of. Take a step forward, make a decision, what will you no longer tolerate? Do something now rather than wait to make it a New Years Resolution, move boldly forward and invisible forces will come to meet you. Rather than think about what you don't want, ask what is it that you do want for yourself in the coming year? And let me know if you think I can help.

I have space for you over the next week or so, act now to secure time with me.

Why Diets Fail

12/10/2014

0 Comments

 
Research shows that Diets fail because they fail in setting the fullness trigger in the brain.  Also that people feel they need will power, this begins a struggle in the mind  between wants, and desires, the  diet then  becomes a battle which cannot be sustained long term.  This is why people quit either before or even after they have reached their goal.  It is the behaviours around food that made them put on the weight, some see it as lack of willpower.

The Virtual Gastric Band ends that struggle and battle, the program audio's and processes re set the fullness trigger in the brain and enables a pathway of least resistance so there is no need for will power.

Not only that the body and mind are connected, so what generally happens when people go on a diet is that they begin to get attracted to  the things they feel they should not be eating.  Deprivation of this kind or starving by lowering calorie intake that way leads to greater compulsions and obsessions and heightens emotional triggers.   

The Virtual Gastric Band reconditions the mind, in that your thoughts and behaviours begin to change.  Compulsions, obsessions and cravings begin to dissipate, if there is a route issue  or triggers Denise will utilise NLP in the sessions to overcome any obstacle in the way of your weight loss goals. There is no need for willpower. The Virtual Gastric Band offers a pathway of least resistance.


The study paper on actual diets above in blue outlined the costs with a summary of success in that only 60% could keep to the diet until the participant reached their weight loss goal, others gave up the diet once their goal was reached,  the paper also had an important summary note as follows:

"there is no doubt that these diets will help you to achieve weight reduction goals, However, it is to be noted that many of the diet products contain weight reducing chemicals which when ceased will result in the participant gaining all the weight within a 4 month period."

Are you stuck?

  • Are you stuck in the pain of being overweight?
  • Are you overwhelmed with the idea of not being able to lose weight?
  • Are you frustrated at trying everything and putting more weight back on?
  • Are you locked in the struggle of yo yo results?

I know that this can cause you serious damage, on your mind, your physical wellbeing,  your spirit, health, relationships not to mention the other areas of your life that you hold back on because of your problem with excess weight.


I know what it is like:

  • To be overweight
  • Not to be able to get into clothes
  • Lose my confidence in myself
  • To have people treat me in a way that just ads to the problem

What we tend to do is:
  • Complain
  • Constrict
  • Cut ourselves off

90% of our problem is that we are in the habit of behaviours that keep us stuck and we are still Using old beliefs to try to create a new reality and failing because that what we believe because we have done it before and you are in a cycle of beliefs that keep you there.

We tend to believe what we know  what to believe
When we do that we create what we have always created


Get rid of your story...
  • I can’t lose weight
  • I have a health problem
  • I am big boned
  • It’s my genetics
  • I have no willpower
  • I only have to look at a cake to put weight on

You need a strategy that will Release old beliefs and more importantly change those old habits and behaviours so that you can move on with success and experience that success.

Here is the reason you need to do that at present, you are:

You are living by chance not by choice
You are waiting for the magic pill the potion
You want someone else to do it


There are specific ingredients for achieving success
You need to know what is going on within you and being in conscious awareness to make the change
Habits and all behaviours are driven by the subconscious or unconscious mind. 

Changing your  thoughts constantly, you can develop new behaviours and patterns that will send you into releasing weight  and releasing those old unwanted patterns of the past

This is why up to now you have been on the emotional roller coaster of life, you have been wired to respond to life, now we need to put in a junction that will send you on a different path a steady path that will take you to where you want to go, you have the power to make the switch and start to release your excess weight fast

We are governed by our rituals changing these rituals and what you do will lead to longer lasting change.

Don’t waste any more time, effort or money doing the same old thing.

Changing hard wired habits can be easy when you become aware instead of living consciously
  1. Shift your energy and limiting beliefs
  2. There is a formula to successful weight loss
  3. Utilizing different rituals will enable you to achieve your goals more easily and effortlessly

Don’t waste any more time doing the same old thing or trying the same old way if it worked for you last time you wouldn’t be doing it again right?

Instead get on a path achieving, make a decision and stick with it. No matter what keep to the path that will bring you success in your health you life your relationships.

  • What have you been missing out on
  • What are you no longer willing to tolerate

Use a proven method that you know will deal with the underlying cause rather than a symptom.  Lead a normal happy life and become that which you want to be.


Go from the pain of weight gain 
to the power of elegant slim freedom.

The Number One Mistake Made By Overweight People

11/25/2014

0 Comments

Denial. 

It’s one of the biggest mistakes people make that causes them to become overweight.
Picture

Most people never check in with themselves. They don’t concern themselves with how their clothes are fitting. They think that it's okay and that they can just take that weight off in no time if they wanted to. Yet they don't do anything about it.

They look in the mirror front on and think to themselves. “I'm not that bad.” They judge others who are bigger and think "Well I'm not as big as ..........” Then soon their size 12 becomes a 14 and after another 12 months, they are wearing size 16 clothing.

Perhaps they have a child and think its okay to carry this baby weight. After all it is only for a few months. But what happens is that after giving birth, continuing to eat for two enlarges their waist, hips and thighs. Then it becomes too hard to do something about it; they are so busy with their child and they have another baby. By the time they get to 35, they begin to wonder how they ever got to be that big.

DENIAL is one of the key reasons people's weight becomes out of control and then it gets filed away as it is too hard to deal with. In denial, they fool themselves into believing that they can get their weight back down.  Denial then keeps them stuck in that mode until one day they wake up and realise they are 10, 20 or even 30 kgs overweight. Their joints are suffering and they haven't any energy, let alone possessing the will-power to do anything about it. It all becomes too hard to deal with.

But it is time to GET REAL and quickly check yourself out. Take a look in a mirror SIDEWAYS ON. Get the tape measure out and measure your waist. The waist to height ratio will let you know how well you are doing and the waist to weight ratio is to be taken seriously as it correlates directly to weight related diseases.

I used to be a 50 inch bust and a 53 inch gut. Coming out of denial was the biggest contributing factor in me now being a size 8 instead of an 18. I am the slimmest I have been in 23 years and have claimed back my life years, all because I’ve faced up to my denial. My health improved and I am no longer pre-diabetic and can wear a pair of togs without needing to hide my body. My confidence has soared and I have helped hundreds of people do the same with my Body Transformation series.

Remember, it's not the clothes in the stores being made smaller ....it's YOU getting bigger. 
The time has come for you to check in!!
