A holistic approach to permanent weight loss
On Feb 7th 2014, news.com.au published a story on ‘Cosi’ Costello, former Australian Biggest Loser winner in 2008, in which he said that he believed about 75 per cent of the contestants from his series in 2008 were back to their starting weight.
Surprising? Probably not really if you’ve ever been on the yo-yo diet merry-go-round. More revealing was his comment below: “But the show doesn’t address the reasons why people like me are so obsessed and addicted to eating excess amounts of food; it doesn’t get to the root of the problem.”
It’s been well documented that good nutrition and exercise alone are not enough to help you lose weight and keep it off. A holistic approach to weight loss acknowledges that unrecognised underlying emotional drivers may be causing you to overeat, so unless you deal with them, no diet will permanently work.
Interesting isn’t it? Now the question is…are you an emotional overeater? If you’re not sure, checkout the following statements and see if any of them ring true for you:
- “When I’m stressed out at work, I crave sweet things.”
- “I tend to binge eat when I’m feeling lonely.”
- “I never seem to have enough time to get things done.”
- “When I’ve done something difficult, I reward myself with comfort foods.”
- “I usually comfort myself with chocolate when I’m down in the dumps.”
- “When I’m anxious, I stuff myself with junk food.”
- “To I relax after a hard day, I tend to have a few too many wines.”
If you’ve answered ‘yes’, then read on!
If you can identify with a couple, just know that there is light at the end of the tunnel and it comes by way of a revolutionary meridian acupressure tapping technique called Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), a great way of dealing with those unwanted feelings without using costly and lengthy therapy and time consuming self-help exercises. The good news is that it’s easy to learn and simple to apply.
Caroline, an experienced EFT practitioner with over 20 years’ experience in the helping professions, has created an 8-session How to Look and Feel Great Programme which will help you:
- Target and neutralise the stress, anxiety and negative emotions associated with overeating or not exercising
- Learn how to deal with immediate cravings and the daily stresses that cause you to overeat
- Uncover food issues from your past, limiting beliefs about weight loss, fears, family history factors, and more
What’s more, by addressing these core issues, you will ensure that when the weight goes off, it stays off. Once the obsessions and compulsions lose their hold, food will no longer be a challenge and you will finally be ‘free’.
EFT is a key ingredient in any weight loss plan because it promotes emotional wellbeing, which is essential when it comes to making positive health choices in terms of exercise and/or nutrition.
