Discussion: Why do some lose more than others?

Since August, I've been watching a lot of people, myself included, release a lot of pounds. Some lose it slower, some lose it faster. I happened to be one that lost fast - this round. Next round might be different, though. My question is simple: Why?

I think that part of the reason has to be emotional ties to our weight. Maybe another reason is stress and anxiety. Perhaps another reason could be medications that might slow loss. A fourth could be as simple as desire & expectations. Still a whole different reason is one that most people overlook completely - the body-mind-spirit connection.

I've mentioned a few times what my emotional tie to my weight was. I say "was" because I've done some tough emotional work, complete with tears, to get to the point where I can be honest with the reason I "needed" the weight. I used it as a shield to keep people away so I wouldn't get hurt. It was as simple as that. It was as complex as that.

Meditation - free music

To go along with that process I shared yesterday, the Silva Method, I also have a source of free music for you to meditate with. It helps to push extra noises out and gives your mind something to concentrate on while you meditate.

Meditation

This one, of all the tools I'm sharing, is the most difficult one for me. To be still and allow thoughts to just pass you by without judging them is tough! I'm an opinionated person, so it's just difficult to let it go and flow. :)

However, learning to do it (and continuing to learn) helped bring some of the emotional ties I have to both my fat and my food to the fore so I could examine them without judging them. I had to just let the emotions exist and look at the ties, rather than judge them or feel like I needed to defend their existance. I just needed to allow them to be and acknowledge that they were there.

I used the free Silva Method to learn how to meditate.

You'll like it once you learn to do it. It's another one of those things, though, that's easy to over-think and over-do. It's easy, but you have to get out of your way and ALLOW it. :)

Reiki

Another thing I use, similar to Quantum Touch, is Reiki. It's more gentle and nurturing. I found a site who offers remote healing sessions at no cost. You do have to give them your name and email address, but I didn't get a whole bunch of spam from them, so I feel confident in sharing this resource with you.

Quantum Touch

If something happens to you, like a car accident or similar, normally you'd go straight to the chiropractor and massage therapist. During Phase II, though, you can't do that and keep releasing weight. Quantum Touch might be your answer here. Hands on healing has been around for, I think, about as long as humans have. But you want to know something? It's not just for the elite or those who are "born with it." You can do it, too.

Here's their site: http://www.quantumtouch.com/

And here's a few videos I found to get you going. Don't over think it - it's really quite easy...

Hypnosis - Plans

I'm sure you've all heard the saying that if you fail to plan, you plan to fail? Or, how about, if you do what you've always done, you'll get what you've always got? If you're already following the HCG protocol, kudos! If you're one of those people who, like I was, are stuck in the "research" part of convincing yourself that this works, I can confidently say that it does!

What's keeping you from doing it? Maybe you just need a little help to find those answers out.

Get a plan, take action, what is stopping you?

Wendi explains: "Self sabotage, finding the part of you that wants to fail, understanding it, and making a plan."

Hypnosis - Confidence, Charisma

I used to use my weight as a shield. From what? I used it to keep people away from me so I wouldn't get hurt. It's silly, when I see it written down, because I know that people still saw & continue to see through the weight to my true self.

Today, a tool to help you find your confidence, regardless of your outside appearance. :)

Being your best, charismatic, confident self

Wendi shares, "You are amazing, really! Want to find out why? Get ready, close your eyes, relax and enjoy!"

Hypnosis - think it'll help?

There's gobs of weight release stuff out in the world and all of it has you focus on the one thing that you want gone. It's my personal belief that what you focus on is what you get most of.

With that in mind, I want to share a couple of tools that I use to focus on what I want rather than what I don't want. You know what I want, right? I think it's the same thing you want right now. To be happy, healthy, and excited about my life! HCG is a critical piece of that puzzle: Health.

But health isn't only about the body. It's about the mind and spirit, too. The mind and the spirit are actually what creates the form you have (body), so it's only appropriate that we go looking there first for the root issues to resolve.

I use meditation, yoga, self-hypnosis, quantum touch, qi gong, reiki, and EFT to get in touch with the mind and the spirit. The happier I am there, the happier my whole life seems to be. Of all those, hypnosis is the easiest to give someone else because Wendi (wendi.com) already has a few videos up covering a few of the topics I want to touch on.

So, I plan to share a tool with you each day clear until Turkey Day... We'll start with:

Release Negative Anchors

Wendi asks, "Feeling bad? Maybe it is because you have triggers that make you feel bad and have anchored your emotions into them. Change it!"
