Hey all,
Here I am blogging again about this whole diet thing. LOL I have learned a LOT of things this past week about myself.
First– it is hard to change your eating habits when you are inundated with party after party after get together. However, it is NOT impossible. Yes, I ate a few more things than I should have, but all-in-all I have done great, and I pat myself on the back for that! You have to learn to take success a little at a time sometimes.
Second – My metabolism is totally shot. I started asking myself how much of a percentage my metabolism was working at. It was at 4%! AUGH!!!! No wonder I have a hard time losing weight. At least I have an excuse now. So, this is going to be one of the first things I do with this program. I am going to check metabolisms and what percentage they are working at. I released the blocks (all of the emotional of course) and then fixed it so it is now at 100%. YEAH! Isn’t psychological acupressure wonderful!
Third – I have total lack of control of my eating habits, and had no desire to do anything about it. When I first started this, I was struggling with giving up just eating what I wanted. So, I tapped it out, of course. I went into my core this time – this is a new thing I have just recently learned and put into practice with my clients. Clearing emotions out in the core means you can clear them from your ENTIRE body! Then if you check a week from now and find that you have it again, you can check back and find the trigger and release it, so you stop triggering. This was a phenomenal find for me. When I released that “lack of control” I have actually had an easier time with changing my eating habits. I am not struggling with it. So, this was a fantastic thing and I will be incorporating this into my regimen as well.
I have been drinking the drink to bring my body to a good pH and have actually found it to be quite satisfying. It is just like tasting minty water. Not bad at all. It is not thick or anything like that and it is just like drinking your water. I have found it to be satisfying as well.
I have also learned a lot about dehydration and what that does to your body. If you feel bloated, that is a sign of dehydration. If you are depleted, your body holds onto all the water it can, thus you bloat. So, making sure I drink enough is a big deal. I feel like I am drinking all the time, but I also feel better and my dry throat has gone away as well. It’s amazing what water can do!
So, now you have all the dirt on me. No, I have not been perfect, but yes, I am making headway. I will be finishing up that metabolism test and then finding out what kind of metabolism I am and then blog about it next.
Hope your Christmas is a Merry one!
Hugs to all,
Karen

A New Weight Loss Plan
Hey all,
Time to blog again! However, I am very excited to blog about this new program and my experiences with it. My problem has been that most diet systems are a one size fits all type of program. I have failed at so many as my metabolism is just totally shot from all the medications I had been on for so many years with my fibromyalgia. Now that I am fibro free and free of all medications, I have lost 50 lbs with the emotional releases and clearing out that kind of baggage, but I am STUCK!
I was very excited when Jed from Thin & Healthy put me on his program and lost over 7 lbs in the few weeks I was on it, but then he had to close down and I had to stop that program. I then met Dr. Laurie Patterson who has a great nutrition background and a product called Liv Sxinney that actually gets your body into a good pH balance so that you can lose weight; however, that is only a part of weight loss, we needed to put together a WHOLE PACKAGE!!!
So, here is how it goes so far. I will be starting on the Liv Sxinney product tomorrow and testing it out. However, this product is only for those of you who want a jump start to your weight loss, and is an added feature if you want it. I am going to see how effective it is in the next few weeks and will blog on how easy or hard it is to follow. The program is a six-week program and can be done over the phone so people outside of Utah can do this, just as much as those inside Utah.
As this is a program that is not suited for everyone, as some just need a few pounds to lose or really do not want to change their eating habits, we have a requirement of an interview to see if you are ready for this program, or if this is really what you need. After we interview you and see that our desires fit your desires, then we set up time for you to meet with both Dr. Patterson and I just prior to starting the program, and send you a packet with all your info and a questionnaire to determine what type of metabolism you have, so we know what kinds of foods are best for you to eat and how your body will metabolize it.
Dr. Patterson’s first visit will consist of analyzing that questionnaire for you and helping you to understand what type of program you should be put on based upon your metabolism. You will then be given the opportunity to purchase the Liv Sxinney product if you want a quick jump start, or to just start on the metabolism program right away. She will then explain it all, coach you in how to begin, and answer any questions you have about how your body works in relation to food and what you should be eating. It is your own private consultation.
As far as I am concerned, if you are a brand new client, my first session will consist of clearing out the negative energy and creating that safety in your mind/body connection. Then I will release any fears you have about starting, weighing in, measuring yourself, etc. If you are a past client, we will then focus on your fears about weight loss and your original memories regarding your weight and how you view yourself. We will also do some motivation tapping to get you ready and excited to begin your program.
The next step would then be starting your program. After experiencing it for a few days, I will then meet with you a second time and we will clear out allergies to wheat/gluten, etc. I will reset your weight point, and we will tap out leptin, cytokinin, cortisol, and hormonal imbalances and their noncommunication with the hypothalamus, which is where your body determines how much fat you should have on your body. We will also address any emotional problems with the diet, cravings, and fears.
As part of this first week, we will also be starting our weekly support group. This weekly support group will consist of training, as well as tapping in a group setting. The training we will do in these support groups is on the “Emotions of Nutrition.” Each week we will address things like how you are living and how that affects your eating; individualized nutrition and how to think about eating in general, how to maximize nutrition, etc.; energizing yourself and how to do this, how to refill your energy level, how to deal with relationships and stress in regards to weight loss; thinking well and how to calm down, get rid of negative thoughts, how you use food, think about food, or use food to numb yourself, etc.; and finally your support system. Each week we will present info, give you homework to do over the week, and help you set baby set goals to assist you moving forward each week, no matter what level you are on. We will be doing a lot of group tapping at these group meetings.
In the second week, Dr. Patterson will then meet with you again in follow up to answer questions you have about the nutrition end of things and ideas on how to maximize your diet. At this point, I will continue my sessions with you, but at half-hour increments instead of hour ones, and hopefully we will be adding a personal trainer to the mix soon and have this as part of the package.
So, we address the emotional problems, nutrition problems, metabolism problems, exercise problems, and give you a very well rounded, individualized program that anyone can do. I think it will be absolutely AMAZING!!!!
So, stay tuned to here while I try this program out for myself. I think if I can lose on this program through the Holidays …. Then ANYONE can!!!!!
Hugs,
Karen
