Welcome to the last week of the month and our last coaching regarding trust. We have covered trusting ourselves, our environment and also our body. This week I want to address a topic I know many of you want help with-eating out.

When I started working with clients as a hypnotherapist and weight release coach, one of the most interesting things that struck me is how hesitant, dare I say even scared, we are to trust that dining out can become part of their weight release plan. One of the biggest issues people have is asking the waiter for what they need.

Part of that trust issue may be founded on truth, with studies showing that we tend to eat as much as 70% more when we are eating out with other people. So, it makes sense that if we are going to achieve and maintain long term permanent weight release, we should feel comfortable enough to ask the waitperson, for what we need.

TRUST AT RESTAURANTS

Why is it so hard to ask the waiter for what we need? Is it a trust issue? Do we not...

I hope that you are feeling a little more trustworthy as we enter into our 3rd week of the month of TRUST. We have been looking at the ways we can trust ourselves, trust our body and now it’s time to think about trust and our environment.

One of the ways that we let ourselves down in our environment is by bringing in foods that tempt and trigger us--foods that I call gak, which are void of nutrients and high in sugar or refined flour and fats.

We also do ourselves a disservice when we don’t bring enough healthy foods into our environment to have on hand for when we need to reach for something.

This week, I would like to look at some do’s and don’ts for shopping—which is where we often set ourselves up for success or struggle depending on what we put into our carts and bring home. If you can keep an environment that allows you to succeed, it is one more way to move towards trusting yourself and your life of weight mastery.

Sharpening our Shopping Skills

Recently, I had to move an old dresser out to the street for bulky item pick up day. As I pulled it backwards, I lost my footing and fell hard on my butt on the concrete. It was a tough tumble, but amazingly, my butt cushioned the landing and I wasn’t hurt. I was very thankful for my butt. I needed my sturdy bum and it was there for me!

I thought about the many years I spent wishing I could literally cut my butt off of my body because I thought it was so big and bubbly and horrible. In making my own Shift, I had made peace with my butt. I had Shifted my relationship with it to see how strong and powerful it was.

I know that you have heard of “body building”—but have you heard about BODY TRUST BUILDING?  This is the mastery skill building topic that we will focus on this week--a kind of “body appreciation” week.
As we enter our second week of our month of trust, I would like to see if we can begin a small love affair with our amazing body.

BODY...

Welcome to a month of TRUST!

Welcome to February, which is the month of love. What better time to focus on loving ourselves?

In order for any intimate relationship to grow, we need first to establish trust. Yet, when it comes to trusting ourselves and our body to release weight, we often run up against many barriers: distrust, evidence of past failures, little belief in our body’s ability to actually lose weight.

This month’s hypnosis session (see above), weekly coaching sessions and classes will focus on getting you to build trust in yourself and believing in you and your body’s ability to release weight when you communicate with yourself in a more loving and trusting way.

“I DID IT!”
BUILDING TRUST 1-2-3

Crossing something off your list is one of life’s unspoken pleasures. The sense of accomplishment and the reinforcement of one’s feeling of confidence in our ability to do what we say we are going to do is undeniable.

Yet, when we struggle...
