Greetings!

Good Morning!
 
I hope you are doing really well and are doing something fun this weekend. I also hope you can look back on this week and see all the good things!
 
I always remember saying I needed my weekends to get over the week I'd been through, but I now don't care whether it is a Sunday or a Wednesday because if you are looking for the nice stuff it is always there regardless of what a calendar says.
 
This week's article is a poignant one for me as I want to cover logic and plans! I used to be a very logical guy who demanded that two plus two equalled four everytime and so I used to plan my diets with military precision. But somehow I never got slim! It was when I realised that diets are totally based on emotions and not logic that I moved on, therefore I want to explain emotional logic instead!
 
Before I leave this week I want to explain again why this newsletter is called no willpower required. I got a mail from someone saying that of course you need willpower to lose weight, but you really don't! You see, willpower means a conflict...part of you wants to be slim but part of you wants to eat / doesn't want to be slim / wants to enjoy life / etc etc etc. Therefore if you can realise what the conflict is really about then you don't need willpower.
 
My question would be 'Do you need willpower to spend time with your loved ones?' Hopefully, the answer is no, that is because you are 100% sure that is what you want. Therefore if you need willpower to do anything then part of you doesn't want to really do it...and the key to the doors of slimdom is to understand what the conflict is about and to deal with it.
 
The goal for me when working with people is that they get slim, never diet again and do something much more interesting! But ultimately what everyone wants in life is to be happy being who they really are, just sometimes people aren't sure of what they really want or what they perceive they might lose if they really aimed for the moon.
 
Talk to you Saturday and hopefully see some of you as well at the party!
 
Have a great week

Be Logical About It
 
Being slim is easy!
 
Just eat 1500 calories a day of well balanced, nutritious food for long enough and you will get slim.
 
Then up to around 2000 calories a day and you will maintain at a healthy weight.
 
It's that easy! Start today and you'll be set...
 
It's a plan...based on facts and figures that work....
 
So why can you do it for a day or three and then you 'fall off'?
 
People are great at coming up with diets and diet plans. They will do a no carb, low carb, low fat, high protein, salad based diet that in theory should get them slim...but yet they don't...
 
I have yet to see a diet that deals with a crap day at work, or that helps anyone who has self-esteem issues, or don't like themselves, or are bullied at work, that are in a bad relationship...no diet helps when you have had a terrible day and just want to eat to make the world seem like a better place.
 
People forget we are animals! We may try and act all intelligent, conscious, and clever, we may come up with the greatest logic on earth but ultimately we are emotional animals, we live on our emotions, and we sure as hell diet on our emotions!
 
So when you are planning a diet, what is your emotional logic plan? How are you going to get through a day when you feel bad? How are you going to deal with a nasty comment at work? How when the credit card bill drops through the door and you want the world to go away is eating going to help you to deal with it?..
 
I once had a meeting with a senior person in a large diet company who told me that people should diet in isolation and that bringing in all their life issues was too complicated. But it's rubbish! You can't diet and then be slim long term unless you get your emotions working for you, you can't put your emotions on hold permanently so you need to work with them.
 
Therefore forget the diet books for today, forget the amount of fat per 100g in your dinner, ditch the carb bible just for this Saturday and start listening to the emotional voice within, listen and trust in yourself that you know what really this is all about and that actually making some changes that will make your emotional state better will start to yield the real results.
 
When I ask every week at the start of the newsletter 'How are you?' then what is your response...is it 'I am a 5ft female who weighs 154 pounds with brown hair and blue eyes' or is your answer an emotional answer such as 'I'm good, I'm bad, I'm happy, I'm sad....'
 
You are an emotional animal! And the great thing is that you can decide right now how to feel for this super Saturday!
 
Talk soon
