Stop Crucifying Yourself
And Start Crucifying Your Scale Instead!
Does the number on your scale set your mood for the day? Does your scale decide if you’re going to have a good day or a bad day? Do you feel anxious if you don’t weigh yourself multiple times everyday? Regardless of whether you over-eat, binge, binge-purge, or restrict, stop crucifying yourself – you have found a place with a very different approach to help you get what it is you really want.
Matt Lauer, on the May 1, 2009 Today Show interviewed Emme, the first plus-size super model, and Cynthia Sass, a dietitian. The women revealed a startling fact – 98% of diets fail. They were discussing Kirstie Allie’s regaining of 75+ lbs after her stunning success on the pre-packaged Jenny Craig diet, and Oprah Winfrey’s constant battle with her figure. They could have just as easily been discussing the singer, Karen Carpenter’s death from anorexia.
Why do pills, pre-packaged food diets, and even surgeries fail so often? Why can’t people suffering with anorexia just start eating? Because diets – to control consumption - all appeal to your logical left brain. But the issues driving your unhappy behaviors which create the unwanted image in your mirror, all reside in your emotional right brain. Emotions eventually override will power, determination and logic. And, then, what’s even worse is you start beating yourself up with recriminations and shame and guilt.
Listen, stop crucifying yourself and start crucifying your scale instead. I know it’s easier said than done, but I’ve got a tool for you. It’s guided imagery. Imagery is similar to hypnosis. In fact, you could consider it hypnosis lite. Guided Imagery allows you to find and heal your emotional discomfort without making you remember or re-live a painful past. With guided imagery you can find out what’s really going on, and how to achieve the real results that you want.
Guided imagery can help you find peace and balance.
Our 90 minute sessions are tailor made to your individual needs. In a soothing setting, complete with warm lighting, soft music, and fragrant incense, you are able to discover what’s really going on with you, and you will begin to feel better in a brief amount of time. A happier image in your mirror will follow.
Unchain yourself from your scale without stress or worry. Linda and Mickey are specialists in guided imagery. Please call. Namaste.
