Guest guest Posted May 20, 2011 Report Share Posted May 20, 2011 hi there, I completely understand about the yoyo dieting! I think everyone in this group have and may continue to have their share of it. Maybe try telling yourself that for x amount of months, you will only commit to the IOWL program when it comes to weight loss. During this time, do not look to any diet plans, weight loss pills, etc. etc. I found IOWL podcasts last year but only recently started seeing the wonderful benefits from it. IOWL WORKS. When you really really open yourself to the possibility that you can lose weight without it being hard and without counting calories, etc., you will be amazed!! hope you have a great day! angela > > I have been listening for over two years from the beginning and still have not broken my yoyo cycle. I heard a show about drinking and how it is possible to relax with out alcohol but I have not seemed to be able to do it yet. Any advice would be great. Thanks for the support. > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 23, 2011 Report Share Posted May 23, 2011 One thing that really helps me when I want to break a cycle I'm in--like thinking I need a drink or food to relax-- is to ask myself what I want instead. What else would make you happy? Would you be better off going to bed early? Reading? Listening to music? Exercising? Sometimes it's worthwhile not to relax--but to sit with the tension. At least for a while.... To see if you can track down the source. Not just the surface source ( " I had a bad day " ) but deeper levels ( " that interaction annoyed me " ), maybe even to the deepest level ( " that made me feel like when I was four and got yelled at for something that wasn't my fault. " ) I'm way over-simplifying here, but it's interesting the thoughts that float to the surface if you let them.... ________________________________ To: insideoutweightloss Sent: Fri, May 20, 2011 4:05:20 PM Subject: Addiction I have been listening for over two years from the beginning and still have not broken my yoyo cycle.

Guest guest Posted May 24, 2011 Report Share Posted May 24, 2011 Great response ! Â I am going to have to take that advise up! Â I Like the " what you want " compared to listening to what you " think " you need. Have a great day! >________________________________ > >To: insideoutweightloss >Sent: Monday, May 23, 2011 3:17 PM >Subject: Re: Addiction > > >Â >One thing that really helps me when I want to break a cycle I'm in--like >thinking I need a drink or food to relax-- is to ask myself what I want instead. > >What else would make you happy? > >Would you be better off going to bed early?
