“Any transition serious enough to alter your definition of self, will require not just small adjustments in your way of living and thinking, but a full-on metamorphosis.” ~Martha beck
1. BUY SOMETHING NEW
One very powerful psychological technique that we will be using is called the law of concentrated
attention. Basically it means that if there is something in life that you really want – then behave in a way that you already have it – and you are very likely to get it. So... go out at your earliest opportunity and purchase an item of clothing in the size that you want to be. It has to be something brand new and NOT something that you already have from your past that no longer fits. It does not have to be anything expensive. When you get it, hang it on the OUTSIDE of your wardrobe in a place where you will see it often.
2. LISTEN TO THE CD
The CD utilizes a multitude of the latest mind management techniques and is a very important part of this trial. It is absolutely essential that you listen to it at least once a day (more if you can) for the next 28 days. The CD will create new neural pathways in your brain regarding your associations and attitudes towards food. It will also reinforce the live sessions that you attend. You will increase the effect tenfold if you listen to it using stereo headphones via your iPod or a portable CD player – you need to sit in a comfortable chair or rest on your bed.
**IMPORTANT – NEVER USE THE CD WHILST DRIVING OR OPERATING MACHINERY.**
3. EAT SLOWLY AND CONSCIOUSLY
Enjoy every mouthful of food, but slow your eating down, chew your food thoroughly (approx 15-20 times a mouthful). Put your knife and fork down between mouthfuls. Do not eat in front of the television or while reading as you will not be conscious of what you are eating. Sit down and focus purely on the food in front of you.
4. STOP EATING AS SOON AS YOU FEEL COMFORTABLE
5. EAT ONLY THREE SMALL MEALS A DAY
Choose proteins first, as you need 50 – 75 grams of protein per day. As your portion size will be dramatically reduced, it may be worth investing in some small plates and bowls.
6. BUY AND TAKE SOME MULTIVITAMINS (If you are not already taking them.)
To ensure you are still having all the vitamins you need.
7. DRINK PLENTY OF FLUIDS AND CHOOSE ONLY LOW CALORIE LIQUIDS
8. EXERCISE
It is very important with the gastric band that you take up some form of exercise for 30 minutes per day; this can be as simple as going for a walk. As you will be eating less than your body needs to operate, it has to make up the difference by burning reserves. If you do not exercise daily, your body will metabolize your unused muscle and you will lose muscle mass and strength. Exercise will communicate to your body that you want to use your muscles and force it to burn the fat instead. Walk, skip, and dance around the house – move!!
