A Re-Success Story

May 11, 2010

I am pleased to introduce you to Pam* Why?   She is similar to several friends, colleagues and clients of mine.  She and I have a few things in common and possibly you too.  About eighteen months ago she got very focused on her health.  Or so she thought.   She started to eat all the right foods, staying away from carbohydrates and   sugars.  She drank 8 + glasses of water a day and exercised daily.  (Sometimes twice a day)  Perhaps at first she was focused on her health.  However, after having lost 60 pounds and only 15 pounds away from her goal she changed her focus.  Instead of getting healthy, she focused on losing the last 15 pounds.  Actually, through our self-discovery sessions, she started to focus on not gaining the 60 pounds back.  HUH?  Yep, we learned that instead of being the change she started to think about it.  What did she think about?  Losing weight, versus being healthy, specifically not gaining the weight back.    Now, it is my understanding that our mind cannot process a negative.  If you say to a child, “Don’t spill the milk”.  What are they most likely to do?  Spill the milk.  Why?  Because you just put the thought into their mind and their body acted upon it.  (FYI: I now ask my children to please drink their milk)

That is right.  After looking and feeling better than she had in 10+ years Pam got nervous and she shifted her focus to a negative.  Pam started saying to herself, don’t gain the weight back.  Guess what she did.  Yep, in less than 8 months she had ½ the weight back on.  That is when she met me.  Check out the Tool of the Month to see how we got started.

Today Pam is back on track with a healthy focused attitude, increasing her flexibility and playing with her children in the back yard a minimum of 4 times a week.

*Client Confidentiality: There are times when a situation is used as an analogy in another client’s session, or in a public setting such as a newsletter or seminar.  In such cases,  reference to the situation is in such a way that it is not identifiable to others.
