A client wrote, “Help me! I thought I was one time finally getting a handle on my weight issue but the sugar is killing me. I had an dreadful day. I won’t even tell you what I ate today because it is so unbelievable. All I will say is that 90% of my food today consisted of sugar! I , need some help getting past these cravings. I am no doubt a sugar addict. If I could get past this there is no doubt that I will reach my aim.”
In the event you see a small of yourself in this message, you are not alone. Lots of describe themselves as sugar addicts. They think if it were only for that one thing, then they could reach their weight loss goals. In the event you think one thing stands in your way of losing weight, think about this: What if that one thing (an addiction to sugar for example) were gone? Do you think, “If I could get past this, there is no doubt that I will reach my aim,” or is it an simple excuse to stay stuck?
<b>If I told you I could show you a way to cease craving sugar, would you need me to show you how?</b>
Think about that for a moment. Close your eyes & think it through. You have said if only you didn’t crave sugar, then you could lose weight, but is that true for you? Ask yourself these questions:
Would you eat differently, & if so how?
Would you act differently, & if so how?
What else would change, & what would stay the same?
What would you lose?
What would you gain?
Until you know what you need, know you can accomplish it, & know what else will change (i.e. how your life may be different), you cannot discover any obstacles that first must be thought about. For example, you may need to cease eating anything after 7 PM yet your husband doesn’t come home from work until 8 & they wishes you to join him for dinner. That is an hindrance.
If you have got a habit of watching your favourite TV show with a bowl of ice cream, then breaking that habit is another hindrance.
In the event you don’t work out ways to overcome your obstacles perhaps through discussion & compromise along with your husband, or habit breaking exercises for your ice cream habit, there is bound to be an issue. saying you are not going to do something any mroe never works. In lieu select what might stand in the way of achieving your goals, discover a way around them, & you are much more likely to actually accomplish those goals one time & for all.
The statement, “if this one thing were handled, then everything else would fall in to place” is an “If Then” statement & gets people in to trouble. They need a fairy godmother to make it all better. A powerful belief that one single thing such as, “eating sugar is my issue,” sets you up to fail, in the event you like eating sugary foods.
Getting a handle on your cravings is not an all-or-nothing proposition. You must leave room for rare deviations. It is not the occasional side trip that causes weight trouble, it is the road they usually travel.
In NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming) a nice beginning point is the exercise called Establishing a Well Formed Outcome. “Well formed” means it meets all criteria of a well thought-out final result.
<b>NLP: How to Generate a Well Formed Outcome & Get What You Want</b>
Here are the steps to making a well formed outcome:

1) State what you need (not what you do not need). “I need to weigh 135 pounds.”
2) Select whether you can accomplish it (do you think it is feasible?).
3) What resources do you have & what do you need (time, money, gear, clothes, equipment, coaching, whatever).
4) Check whether someone else is involved & any potential obstacles that may come up regarding others. Think of everyone involved in your day-to-day life.
5) Picture yourself “as if” you have obtained what you say you need & see if that picture fits. Do you like what you see?
6) Put together a plan of action for the achievement of your outcome.
While it may appear like lots of hard work basically to choose what you need, going through these steps at the beginning helps you find potential obstacles which historicallyin the past stopped you from moving forward. For example, in the event you choose you need to join a gym & start exercising every day but you have forgotten you don’t even own a automobile & lost your job, that exercise plan might not work out right now. In the event you did join a gym, you’d finish up not going & then you’d think you’d failed, yet it was the plan that failed, not you. You didn’t think it through.
A better plan in this instance may be doing exercises at home, or within running distance (or basically running for exercise). Later, when you do have transportation, you can rethink the plan & perhaps join a gym then. There’s always options.
It is better to look at what you need from every angle, then put together a plan you know can & will work. Then when you know what you need, you’ll also know you can make it happen & start by taking that first step toward making it a reality.
“Achieving a Well Formed Outcome” is one of the sessions in the Ending Emotional Eating 8-Week Workshop. You can also find more information on this popular & widely known NLP method by looking for “NLP Well Formed Outcome” in your favourite search engine.
