I have been through 5 years of diets, weight and food obsesssion which have led me to low self esteem, insecurity in the romatic area and Body Dysmorphic disorder. I have tried everything in order to loose weight: from cabbage soup to apple vinegar pills and from meal relacements to eating nothing. I always went back on binge eating after a diet. The only thing that worked for me were these 6 steps: 1. discover the events and the beliefs created by the events which caused your weight gain; 2. understand that those past events may have nothing to do neither with you, nor with your worth, hence your disempowering beliefs may not be true; 3. know yourself; 4. create optimistic future expectations; 5. eliminate all your disempowering beliefs and your weight gain feeders. Empowering beliefs will follow naturally; 6. make a realistic, but

inspiring plan of life goals which will keep you passionate about your daily life – build Weight Loss Feeders. I have lost 9 pounds and I have maintained my weight for the past 3 years. I have got back my a healthy self esteem. I know how hard it is to go on a diet. I remember vividly how helpless I was feeling. My plan is a non-diet weight loss programme, which focuses on your mind, not on food. I would be pleased to provide you with my free e-book: ‘Changing your beliefs – The 6 steps to Lasting Weight Loss’, where you can find out detailed steps on overcoming the weight-gain mindset.
