Matt and Denise - The Weight Loss Diaries

What lengths would you go to in order to achieve your goal weight?

Our very brave friends, Matt and Denise* (names are changed to protect their identity... and dignity) decided that they were tired of their old patterns of deciding to lose weight, starting out excitedly, eating healthy food and exercising regularly, only to lose momentum after a few weeks.

When we sat down with them, we discovered that the reason they didn't stay with their new healthy regime, was because they didn't have a big enough 'why'.  Both similar in their habits, they would reach a point where neither of them wanted to continue, so they would let each other off the hook.

If you've heard the expression "the definition of insanity is doing the same action over and over again, expecting a different result" you will understand why we had to approach this differently.  Obviously what they were doing (or not doing) wasn't working for them, so we tried to create a big enough reason for them to stay on track and achieve their goals.  Enter the beach wedding and bikini deadline!

With only 5 months until they were to re-unite with a bunch of friends, at a beach wedding in Thailand, Matt & Denise decided to use this deadline as the motivation they needed to stay focused.  On top of that, and in order to be kept accountable to their own goals, Matt & Denise courageously agreed to display their story (and their photo's) on the Glow website.

See how they're going, follow their progress, read their (always amusing!) monthly weigh in journal, and most importantly show your support.  You can email words of encouragement from the website, or click here to send a message straight away!

NLP - 21st Century Miracle?

It is probably more appropriate to call it a 20th Century miracle as NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming) orginated in the early 1970s when John Grinder and Richard Bandler began working together in the field of what we now know as modelling. Bandler, a mathematician, therapist and computer expert met John Grinder, a world renowned linguist, and began to study the field of human change.

Curious about how to create change in people, Grinder and Bandler studied expert therapists in their own fields and noticed some interesting patterns. When studying Virginia Satir (the mother of family therapy) they discovered that she affected and changed behaviour in her clients by being very specific with her language, whilst Milton H. Erickson (father of Hypnotherapy) achieved behaviour change by being extremely ambiguous with his use of language.

NLP is a set of powerful techniques and language patterns that, help people make profound change in their life. NLP is effective for everything from phobias, to building better relationships. NLP has been called the Neuro-Psychology of Achievement. It is also called the "study of subjective experience" and "the study of human excellence."

NLP is not a theory about human behaviour. It is a whole set of tools that work to help people perform better and live more productive, happier lives. They report being free of negative programming and limiting beliefs that typically hold people back from doing what they dream of being and doing in life.

In summary NLP is about "rewiring" the mind and it's patterns to open you up to new and empowering choices in life. The changes made using NLP are long lasting, immediate and powerful.

Sabrina's Lifestyle Tip

I know that you're all in the process of using the Law of Attraction to manifest your ideal life which probably consists of regular massages, facials and pedicures (I know mine does)! In the interim there is an easy way to treat yourself like a goddess everyday. If you're not already partaking in some kind of make up removal, facial cleansing, moisturising regime then do so TODAY. There are a number of reasons why I suggest this:

1. Taking care of your skin, no matter what age you start, will give you fantastic results physically and a 'glowing' feeling

2. It's a great way to mark the end of the day by washing muck down the sink and start your evening refreshed and relaxed

3. This is a perfect way to treat yourself to a little goddess behaviour everyday

If right now you feel like it's a chore to take your make up off and wash your face each evening, or moisturise your body each morning, why not change your perspective? Slow it down a little and make it a small pamper session. It doesn't take a lot of time out of your day, in fact it doesn't need to take longer than it already takes, just make it languid and luscious! Use your imagination and pretend you're one of the women they use in the advertisements for these products. Make the movements long and dramatic and imagine in your mind the smooth peachy skin and the glowing healthiness you're creating.

That's equal to daily pampering! How many women live that kind of life? Be fabulous TODAY, you're worth it.
