I Want To 'See You At The Top!'

It may come as a surprise to some of you and maybe a bit personal, but bear with me, I do have a point…would you believe me if I told you I have never been on a ‘diet’ my entire life?

I know it may sound strange that I haven’t got a story to share about my former heavy days, or mybefore and after pictures to show how I used to look.

Yes I workout, but I am by no means an athlete, and back when I was a busy young mom of two, my routines were inconsistent at best, and my eating habits not much to brag about

To this day I don’t struggle with weight problems. Fact is, I really eat quite a lot. I eat as soon as a get up in the morning, full breakfast and all, a complete lunch, dinner and several snacks in between. Seriously. And the thing is, my meals are not even special low-calorie meals either (which I recommend sometimes during my consults). So I was wondering…

Could It Be My Genes?

Maybe. My Dad died in his mid 80′s, and had remained strong and healthy until his late 70′s. One of my sisters though, struggled with diabetes early on in her life, and some of my aunts and uncles weren’t exactly thin, so I doubt that my “good” genes are the main reason I had managed to escape the battle of the bulge.

Here’s What Happened

I programmed my subconscious brain at the age of 11 to keep my body slim, though I didn’t realize it then, or even years later.

The Story…

One day as I was walking up the hill from my house on the way to school, I took a look around and saw a couple of ‘older’ women (remember, I was 11) and I said to myself: “I will not get fat when I grow up!” and as I kept walking up and down the hill, I kept repeating to myself, “No matter what happens, or how many kids I have, married or not, I’m not going to get fat”!

I Wired It Into My Thinking Brain

I laugh now remembering how much passion and determination I put into my desire…what does an eleven yr old girl know about weight problems? I am convinced, though, that the power of my subconscious mind took care of the rest. I set myself up for a healthy lifestyle.

(For more information on brain-neuron connection and their effect on learned behavior, I recommend reading “Your Brain: The Missing Manual” by Matthew MacDonald

You can do it too…at any age, even if you think overeating is written in your genes ;)
