In the four previous posts, I wrote about Paul McKenna's Four Golden Rules. They are: (1) When you are hungry, Eat. (2) Eat what you want, not what you think you should (3) Eat consciously, and enjoy every mouthful. (4) When you are full, STOP eating.
Guess what? People who are a healthy weight do these things naturally! They don't need these Golden Rules to maintain their healthy weight. It is a natural part of their lifestyle, they don't have to learn it.
For us, however, those of us who eat too much, those of us who crave certain foods and drinks, those of us who are compulsive, emotional eaters, these rules are critical to our ability to attain and maintain a healthy weight. If what Paul McKenna teaches is true, and I believe it might be, we do not have a chance of keeping our size in a downsized state, unless these Golden Rules become 'second nature'.
They will always be 'second nature' to us. Our first nature is to eat everything in sight even though we are not hungry. Our first nature is to completely eat the bag of chips, or candy, or the pan of brownies. We have no natural stopping mechanism in our lifestyle. Therefore, we must consciously follow these rules for the rest of our lives.
This week I have followed the rules, using some of the techniques mentioned on his website as tools to help me stay 'stay in line', and have lost more weight! Yep. More Losing and Winning!! I just know I will be able to fit into that new Mary Kay Sales Director suit when it arrives soon!
I will begin a discussion of some of the techniques mentioned on http://www.mckenna.com in the next post.
