Weight loss

Absolutely, but you have to manage your weight within that. Work with the hand you’ve been dealt; for example, being big-boned is no excuse for being 100 pounds overweight. Accept that you have some extra challenges — and that you’ll probably never be stick-thin — but don’t let that be your excuse.

Some people truly have a medical reason for weight gain. If you have to take medication, or if you have a biological disorder that causes you to gain weight, the best you can do is manage it. Learn to be at peace with it.

Do it right once, and you’ll reach your goals much quicker than “seven pounds in seven days.”

Everyone has different challenges, different resources and different gifts. Consequently, people must develop different strategies to accommodate their schedules. Find out what gives you results — and don’t quit if it doesn’t seem apparent right away.

Just about everybody likes the taste of food, but you have to develop the maturity to balance your intake. Control the quality and the amount of what you eat.

You don’t feel 100 percent good about yourself. You can’t be completely happy with yourself unless you’re happy about everything that makes you who you are.

If you’re overweight, then you’re out of control. That’s not a natural place to be. You’re out of control with your impulses, your life or your schedule. Evaluate your behaviors, anticipate your personal challenges and restore balance.

You can’t break habits without forming new ones. If you take something out of your life, there’s a void. And when there’s a void, it’s easy to drift back to what you used to do. You need to replace the bad habit with new, incompatible behavior that will crowd the bad behavior out.

Don’t let low self-esteem be an excuse to not live your best life. Get over it! Stand up and use the gifts you have. Require more of yourself than what you have been requiring. Just because you aren’t proud of yourself every minute doesn’t mean that you don’t get to participate in life. Get specific and define what low self-esteem means to you. Then, behave your way to success.

You’re holding on to the response that you associated with your problems. Although the problem has been solved, the behavior — in this case, overeating — remains. When you solve a problem in your life, you must also stop “dealing” with it in negative ways.

“Working with Suddenly Slimmer’s physician and wellness therapists was a gift better than I could have ever imagined. Prior to going to Suddenly Slimmer, I always thought I was a healthy person. I worked out extremely hard at the gym, going at least 5 days a week and I thought I ate very well. However, I never lost weight and during certain periods I actually gained weight and a lot of it! I couldn’t understand why and I was totally confused about what to do. After I started going to Suddenly Slimmer, dramatic results started to happen. I lost 35 pounds, my skin is glowing more than ever, I’m much more confident, and I am now open to new things I never thought I would embrace. Just about everyone I know compliments me with, Wow you look amazing! your skin is gorgeous, you’re radiant, you’re glowing! The compliments keep coming. I haven’t felt this good in at least 10 years. I’m much less stressed, happier, thinner, and healthier! Thank you Suddenly Slimmer for being so wonderful! You are a life changer!.” Natasha B. – Scottsdale, AZ *results may vary

“I was looking for a acupuncturist to help my PCOS, which was a hormonal disorder that caused me to skip periods and gain insane amounts of weight. I was eating the best I could, starving all the time, and working out way more than I needed to. And I was putting on weight, FAST. I went to a gynecologist who put me on pills that didn’t work, and everyday, I hated myself more and more. I was disappointed with my life, and with myself. I was in an extremely dark place before I found Mitta (Suddenly Slimmer’s Licensed Acupuncturist). What I loved about her immediately was that she was all about helping me in a holistic, healthy way. She was knowledgeable and kind, and she showed me how wrong I was just going crazy with diet and exercise, and how that was actually making me gain weight. She showed me the connection between mind and body, taught me ways to relax that I enjoyed, and truly made me love my life so much more. She is full of guidance and help, and even tough love when I needed it. She changed my life, and I couldn’t recommend her more.” Lauren Z. – Phoenix, AZ *results may vary
