Losing weight is not just about reducing and watching what you eat. There’s a myriad of other issues that also need to be addressed, ranging from lack of sleep, your environment,relationships with others and your personal history.
And that’s just what ‘You Can Think Yourself Thin’ focuses on.
Written by trained hypnotherapist Ursula James, You Can Think Yourself Thin offers clear and simple techniques that get you examining your subconscious and changing negative thought patterns into positive ones.
The ultimate goal might be to lose weight, but according to James there’s a few things that you need to do first. You need to build up your self confidence, improve your feelings of self worth, come to grips with underlying issues that are causing overeating, and then make a future plan. And only then should you focus on losing weight.
The book’s nine chapters (or stages) takes you on a journey of discovered aimed at helping you deal with issues of the past in order to provide the tools to deal with the present and the future.
First you read and then you listen to the designated track on the accompanying CD aimed at emulating hypnotherapy sessions.
All in all, You Can Think Yourself Thin, is not your average diet book.
Instead, it’s all about mind over matter, with the end game being that you regain control of your life and your weight.
