My New View.....How the Name Came To Be

I have an incredible story to relate. It is a story of my own weight loss and how it was achieved. There are many "diet" plans out there, but most add additional costs, or added time to your schedule. It seemed to me in 1995 or so that I had neither extra cash nor extra time. I weighed 240 lbs and was miserable. I felt awkward in my movements, and didn't want to be seen. I had trouble playing with my two young children and hated being fat. ONE DAY....after battling with anxiety attacks and medication that made me feel even more useless I had some kind of breakdown. Now, these can happen in either a good cleansing way, or in a way that is damaging. Mine must have been the good kind!!! I got very angry at the lady hiding inside of the marshmallow body I was living in. I began to imagine her breaking free. It had been years since I had seen her, it seemed. Every day I imagined myself fit. I invented what I called "Housewife Aerobics". This was a time saving exercise routine that on day will be a book to share with many. I simply did all of my activities of daily life in new ways. I paid close attention to the way I moved my body. I used muscles that had not been used due to a bad attitude. I changed little other than this. The results were 100lbs off in 6 months!!!!! Incredible.

I have read many cases in which diet therapies incorporate imagery into the plan. The fact is, most do not. Most diet plans and weight management strategies are very hard to stick with. They seem number based and are often very restrictive. This causes a bad attitude during the process. Anything that causes one to feel restricted is less likely to be a lasting solution. There is a chance of success initially, but long term success becomes hindered. The resulting bad attitude and anxiety actually becomes counter productive. With hypnotherapy, imagery, and self empowerment, the attitude is what changes. With a healthy happy attitude the things we need to do seem to come easily and in a more natural way.

I have kept all but 10-15 lbs off since 1995. That seems incredible to me. I looked unhealthy at 140 and like to stay in the 150-155 range. This is easily done. How?? Imagery, yoga, proper nutrition. I waste no time on crazy workouts. I make everything a workout!! I live with a New View of life...and attempt to share this with others.
