Paul McKenna I Can Make You Thin - Your Perfect Body

Filed under: Programs — admin @ 8:55 pm

If you’ve been watching the series you know his basic rules are as follows - eat when you are hungry, eat what you want, eat consciously and quit when you’re full. This sounds very basic to me. When I started watching the show I was looking for help with my binging. I never know when it is going to happen because sometimes I am happy with a small sweet and other times it’s just not enough and I will eat the whole bag. Obviously at those times I’m not eating consciously. I have been trying to slow down my eating and savor every bite. It seems to be working for me.

He also says there is a viscous cycle. Most of us know about it. The one where we say mean things to our selves such as “I’m ugly or fat” then we over eat. After we over indulge we feel bad and eat more to try to make ourselves happy. For some this cycle never stops.

Mr. McKenna says that we need to talk to ourselves. When we are saying to ourselves that we are ugly or fat we should say it in a crazy or silly voice so we don’t take it seriously. Then he states we must say it out loud that we accept our body and the way we look. We need to get rid of the self defeating attitudes. I feel like I have known all along that my binging has to do with my brain and has little to do with my stomach. I convince myself that I need something sweet and I may or may not binge on that item. If we think of our selves in a positive way it has a dramatic affect on the way we feel. It clicked with me.

Paul McKenna wants to make us thin and happy. He wants to help us feel better about ourselves everyday. If we feel better about ourselves it will carry on through out the day. What do you have to lose - give it a try!
