How Your Initial Programming Effects Your Permanent Weight Loss

Copyright 2005 Burris MIND/FITNESS

During the first part of your life you had no control: your

parents did the majority of your thinking for you and in

doing so created the greatest part of your subconscious

programming. This is especially true in your eating

behavior programming. Your parents meant well but

unfortunately they lacked the knowledge and the skills to

instruct you on how to eat properly. They simply followed

what their parents had taught them.

Does this sound familiar to you: “You are not going to

leave the table until you finished everything on your

plate.” or “Do you realize there are children in the world

who are starving and would give anything for your meal?” or

“If you do not finish everything on your plate, there will

be no dessert.” It was these types of repetitive statements

that programmed you to associate food with fear and guilt.

What was really ironic, was when you grudgingly did manage

to finish everything on your plate and were completely

stuffed, you always managed to find room for your ultimate

reward....a well deserved dessert. With the consistent use

of fear and guilt to control your behavior, eventually

these two emotional states turned into anger, which also

triggers emotional eating.

Now as an adult your worst eating behavior is perpetuated

by the emotional states of fear, guilt and anger. The

presence of these three emotional states also indicates the

absence of your most positive and powerful emotional state,

love.

Your parents used the reward of a dessert to control or

program most of your emotional states. They knew that with

the promise of something sweet, they could stop your anger,

stop your crying, eliminate your boredom or stop your pain.

If you want to train an animal, what do you use? You use

food. Unfortunately human animals have full access to the

very thing that was used to train many of their emotional

states.

As a child you where unknowingly programmed to use eating

as an outlet for practically all of your emotional states.

Now that you are an adult you still emotionally respond to

food exactly as you were programmed to do as a child. Your

childhood programs still control why you eat, when you eat,

what you eat, and how much you eat.

The reason you keep repeating your childhood behaviors or

habits over and over is because you are bonded or anchored

to them. Yes, anchored as in weighted down or held in

place! The only difference between your anchors and a ship

anchor is your anchors do not consist of steel but are

derived from your emotions.

Your anchors originated from extremely strong repetitive

memory associations, which are triggered by your five

senses of hearing, vision, smell, taste, and touch. You are

constantly being anchored in different ways through out

your life. For example, when you hear a certain song and it

brings back a memory of a certain person, or a place in

time, this is an audio anchor or an anchor triggered by

your sense of hearing.

Have you ever met someone for the first time and noticed

that something about them reminds you of someone or

something else? This is a visual anchor or an anchor

triggered by your sense of sight. Until now all of your

anchors have been installed in your subconscious mind by

someone else or by accident and in most cases you were not

even aware of them. Now for the first time through the

process of Burris MIND/FITNESS, you can learn how to anchor

a reaction or behavior you want on purpose and consistently

get the results you want over and over, until you are

assured of attaining your weight goal.

It is important to understand that your subconscious mind

can be triggered into a negative anchored behavior without

even pausing to consider what it is doing. It is this type

of behavior that is responsible for your worst eating

habits. I refer to this type of behavior as “No Thought

Eating.” At the time of “No Thought Eating” your

subconscious mind has given no consideration to what it is

doing and your conscious mind is not even aware that

anything is taking place.

A good example of this is when you are feeling fearful,

guilty angry, or bored. You immediately look for something

to eat, even if you are not hungry. In most cases you will

look for what you refer to as your comfort foods, which is

anything that is high in sugar, fat or both. Let us say you

come across a bag of cookies, without any hesitation you

eat one and before you realize it, you are eating the whole

bag. Sometime during this “No Thought Eating” binge your

conscious mind awakens to what is taking place. You stop

your eating binge and now along with feeling fearful,

guilty, angry, or bored; you are also probably a little

nauseous. The first thought that pops into your mind is:

“Why Did I Eat That? I wasn’t even hungry!” How many times

have you asked yourself this self-defeating negative

question “Why Did I Eat That?”

The second you asked yourself this question, your

subconscious mind is triggered into action to find an

answer, which in turn produces a correlating picture.

Surprise, surprise what did it find in your subconscious

eating behavior program? It found you ate the cookies

because you were feeling fearful, guilty, angry, or bored.

Of course it did because that is exactly how you were

programmed as a child to react to fear, guilt, anger, or

boredom. Once again your subconscious mind will take this

answer and the correlating picture of you being overweight

and use it to anchor you even deeper to your childhood

program.

Here is where the fun starts, what do you have to do in

order to change your existing negative anchored behaviors

of “No Thought Eating?” You simply restructure your

question from its negative form of “Why did I eat that?” to

a positive form question of “How can I stop this no thought

eating when I am feeling fearful, guilty, angry, or bored?”

Your subconscious mind will now produce a positive answer

to your new positive question such as: When you are feeling

fearful, guilty, angry or bored, find an activity you enjoy

in place of eating. Once again these new answers will

produce empowering correlating pictures that will move you

toward your weight goal. It is truly that simple, positive

empowering questions = positive empowering results.

From this time on, it is essential that you are always

conscious of your inner voice, thereby insuring that all of

your self-questions are positive ones and insuring that you

always maintain a positive emotional state.

Regardless of weather your goal is a change in diet for

weight loss, an increase in your fitness program or to take

control of an eating disorder such as anorexia or bulimia.

In the end the question you need to ask yourself is…Am I

completely happy with the mind running itself or do I need

to take control of it? If your answer is I need to take

control of it, then Burris MIND/FITNESS is the answer.
