Both my wife Katie and I were desperate to reduce our weight, so we had a little heart to heart about why we wanted to be thinner, and what that would mean to us. It was amazing, but we really didn’t aspire to anything that remarkable. Having more oomph to play with the kids was Katie’s number one goal. She wanted to become more self-assured when undressing in our bedroom too.

As for me, I wanted to be able to walk into a High St store and have the choice of all the guy’s outfits, not just the few boring ones for fat folks! I also had a strong desire to get to the top of the stairs in our home (three floors) and not be out of breath!

As we read more about weight loss, we realised that there’s a direct link between self image and size. Unfortunately, the larger we grow, the less we seem to care for ourselves. The majority of obese people think that fat loss will make them happy again. As overweight people ourselves, we completely identified with that. However, this is what we found -

Over time scientists have discovered that our sub conscious mind stores information, but can’t decipher whether that information is actually ‘real’. It therefore ‘programs’ the conscious element of our brain with anything that occupies it. Process that thought repeatedly, it emerges as its prevailing concept and thus it’s actual truth.

Just how long have we been re-affirming the concept of how fat we are? And so we should re-program our sub conscious with all the things we do want, not all the things we don’t want.

We should also make the rewards of being a lighter person our focal point – and not the effort it takes to get there. Firstly, we compiled a list of activities and such like that being too heavy made very difficult: They were things such as having fun, dancing, walks on the beach, more confidence, better sex, sports activities etc.

We imagined going on vacation, wearing shorts and tee-shirts and looking great. We got the respect and esteem of people as we confidently mingled with others. We brought the dream to life.

Accordingly, both of us are a lot lighter and fitter – though not as thin as rakes! By the same token, we’re feeling terrific and life really has become fun!
