Weight Release

Catherine, if you could only give me one piece of advice before I start my diet, I would appreciate it, thank you, love Anna.

Anna, well, I can actually give you a couple little hints, and the first and foremost piece of advice is to shift your mind from the word diet to release. Language is so powerful and we have so much negative scripting associated with the word diet. So my first advice is all about releasing.

I also think it is important to know why you are holding onto the weight to begin with, once you can recognize why you have the weight and what you are afraid of then it will make it easier to allow yourself to move forward without the potential for sabotage.

In my initial weight release sessions, I ask the client to be aware of two things, one is their water intake. It is recommended that a person drink half their body weight in ounces per day. If you weight 200 pounds, then you should drink 100 ounces per day. If you consume caffeine, it is always good to add more water, as caffeine can dehydrate. So, I don’t ask you to restrict your intake of food, I would like to see you add water.

You don’t even need to do it all at once, Anna, life is a journey. when we get all gung ho and dive in we set ourselves up to fail, so just add a glass of water a day and add more as you are comfortable with it. That is the key, start slow, if you don’t do anything else, just add water to your day.

Wow, I bet you expected a pep talk on exercise, food all of that? well, not right now, let’s just get your mind shifted to see water as your friend, then we can move on to the next step.

Have a great week, and remember to drink your water. (Just ordering water when you eat out instead of drinks not only saves you money BUT is a great way to “sneak” it in)…any other water hints out there???

Blessings, Catherine
