Helping you to accomplish all of these points is what this book is all about.Here's the bottom line: I was stuck in obesity and binge eating for more than 20 years, during which time I 'trained' myself to believe and act upon all sorts of destructive and negative nonsense. I ate everything and anything that the mind and belly wanted. Even if I was full and my belly felt that it was about to pop, I would continue to eat nonetheless. Food was my drug. I had ZERO ability to resist food; I always gave in. I was completely trapped; overeating day after day, becoming more and more obese and sick, isolated from life and the world and filled with shame, guilt, depression and intense self-hatred. I was, in essence, trapped in a self-made prison where food was the ultimate overseer and lord. It was a vicious cycle: Sadness, rage and self-pity fueled more overeating which, in turn, caused more failure and negativity, which caused more overeating. I was perpetually sabotaging my weight toss efforts, often without realizing it, because pain and unhappiness had (tragically) become second nature. THEN I realized that if I wanted to be free of this poisonous mental chatter, I would have to work at identifying (and overwriting) the conscious and subconscious "fat" patterns that fed the insanity and kept me eating in excess and at the wrong times; the patterns that made me weak in the sight of food and caused me to always be nibbling, grazing and eating, eating and eating. I was fed up and wanted to overcome obesity once and for all. I had to create a new mental program that supported and facilitated my goals rather than destroy them. And none of this is breaking news. We've all have heard of positive thinking, affirmations and visualizations. Here I take those powerful mental tools and apply them directly to weight loss, food and eating. If you have tried to lose weight and fallen short, then implementing the simple but powerful program I outline here will help you to make measurable progress. If you are willing to walk with me and do some work, then this book can become a very powerful ally in your journey towards permanent weight loss. You will be asked to do some introspective work in a journal. You will be asked to put together a reprogramming program tailored specifically to your individual needs and situation. If you give yourself to this work and stick to it as I recommend, there is no doubt that you will begin to see some remarkable changes in the way you relate to food and eating. I had big problems waking up at 3AM and raiding the fridge. After some weeks of following this program, I went to sleep one night and, when I woke up, it was 6AM. I had not gotten up to eat! One lady that was addicted to cream donuts and double sweet latte wrote to tell me that, after following this program, she abruptly stopped. A guy who lived on pizza and beer said that after listening to the tapes for a few weeks, he woke up one morning and decided to change his diet. And, you, too can experience the breakthrough IF you make the commitment with yourself.
