I'm Dr. Roger Gould, author of the book Shrink Yourself which I've transformed into the clinically proven step-by-step program on this site.
In order to control your weight and holiday temptations you must understand that there are 2 different kinds of hunger: Real Hunger is what your body sends out for taste, pleasure and nutrition. While Emotional Hunger is what your mind sends out for relief from stress, boredom and frustration.
Controlling Emotional Hunger is the key to controlling your weight. And you can start doing that immediately with the free tools available to you here.

Whether you know it or not, on some level you are actually afraid of your own feelings.

This week we want to help you overcome your fear of your feelings.

Dropping Food as a Protection
The Rebellious Self is the part of you that doesn't want to lose weight, and is the part of you that sabotages your diet. Part of the Rebellious Self tries to use food to protect you. In this session, we'll help you uncover how you use food as a protection. Exposing this habit will free you from needing food to feel safe.

Accepting the New You
Whenever you try to change yourself, the Rebellious Self gets scared. It tells you that you can't succeed, or that it's too dangerous to continue because something bad might happen. In this session, we'll help you overcome this tendency to reject the new and improved you.
|
|

|
Ending Food Fights
Your rebellious self uses food to stay overweight in order to fight some battle you have with the world or with your family. Instead of letting you express your anger in a direct way, it expresses anger through your weight. We'll help you stop fighting battles with food so you can lose weight and keep it off.
