Bandster Success Guided Imagery CD's - repost for the New people

We always talk about the emotional work and lifestyle and mental

changes needed to lose well and maintain Band loss, but we have never

had much (if any) help identifying, understanding, and MAKING these

needed changes.

In my own pretty successful Band journey, I devised some unique Guided

Imagery and Self-Hypnosis tapes that helped tremendously with my

understanding the REASONS I was eating inappropriately, as well as

many other lifestyle issues, that all helped make me obese.

I realized that, until I changed the REASONS I overate, and the other

things, any weight I lost with the Band was very UNlikely to STAY

lost.

I cringe a little when the band is advertised as

a " permanent solution " to obesity. The weight you lose will ONLY be

permanent as long as the changes you make are also permanent. (within

reason! we all goof sometimes!) Don't be fooled thinking band success

is a guaranteed thing, or that it's not easy to regain, if we don't

address many issues.

After we get closer to goal weight, we will need to depend much more

on our improved eating and lifestyle habits, than on the Band. We will

not be able to keep a very tight fill for long, without increasing

chances of later slips and erosions. If we have not overcome much of

our emotional eating by then, we can have a very have a hard time

maintaining our loss as we fall right back into old bad habits yet

again.

The Band is about much more than just simply weight loss, (we

have all lost before, and probably many times) and there are many

issues that have helped cause our obesity. These all need to be

dealt with now, if we want a thinner and healthier life and lasting

weight loss THIS time.

These things include overcoming emotional eating ( " Head and Heart

hunger " ), regaining a very positive self-image, better sleep (proven

essential for health and weight loss), stress control and relaxation

techniques, learning to be more flexible and patient, maintaining

motivation for exercise, remaining optimistic , and more.

Since Guided Imagery was so effective in my own weight-loss journey,

and just as important now in maintaining my loss over the last 3.5

years at goal, I collaborated with a therapist/hypnotherapist

colleague to develop a set of

Guided Imagery CD's specifically for Bandsters and about Bandster

issues, and the needed Bandster lifestyle changes.

I needed all the help I could get, and Guided Imagery was very

effective for me. Together with the physical help from the Band,

Guided Imagery really empowered me to reclaim my life from obesity.

For those interested in learning more, please see my webite. The CD's

are discussed on the first page, and pages 2-4 are full of Bandster

information, pictures, links, articles, and Bandster siccess stories.

Dr. Kuri endorses the CD's and very kindly wrote the

endorsement on the front cover of the CD package.

I hope the CD's are an additional tool to empower your Band Success

and your newly-emerging, healthier and happier life!
