    About this ebook

    In the US, millions of people spend billions of dollars on books, programs, drugs,or surgery that claim to offer a solution to obesity. It is a huge and exploitive industry that flourishes while, per capita, we are becoming heavier and unhealthier by the minute. None of the above  fully address the core issue with weight and that is: why are we so hungry? Where do these cravings come from and how do we become craving free and empowered in our food choices? Lighten Up! Win At Losing gives the reader basic information about food (most of what we eat doesn’t nourish) and then it fosters the mind shift necessary for a new relationship with food.

      Lighten Up! - Jane H. Percy

      Affirmation:

      I eat less, exercise more, and enjoy healthy changes in my body and my life.

      1. Not a Diet, But a Way of Life

      When healthy thoughts and choices become healthy actions, wonderful things happen.

      We are the most overfed, over-medicated and undernourished population in the world. Our children are becoming fatter and unhealthier by the moment. Weight related illnesses threaten to overwhelm our already overburdened health care system. Why is it that the wealthiest nation in the world has such an unhealthy population? What can you do to get slender and stay that way? This book with CD gives you a pleasant, sensible, sustainable way of getting to a healthy weight. Think of it as your very own slimming kit. Living Lightly is the way to health and longevity. Once you master the simple principles of this program, you’ll never have to diet again. For the last eight years, I’ve been teaching Lighten Up, Win At Losing, a dynamic weight loss program that combines hypnosis with an eating concept I call Positive Eating...not a diet, but a way of life. The Lighten Up way is a very effective way to achieve and maintain a healthy weight, and create longevity and wellbeing. A lifelong interest in food, exercise, and optimal health combined with my passionate interest in the mind—along with the power of hypnosis to help you change your mind—impels me to share this information with you.

      I’ve taught Lighten Up methods to hundreds of people of all ages and walks of life. During that time, my students have taught me as well. I’ve learned from them that old habits of unhealthy overeating can transform into new health patterns when the mind and the body are in agreement. When healthy thoughts and choices become healthy actions, wonderful things happen.

      The Lighten Up way is not a diet in the usual sense. Most people in my classes are experts on dieting, reminiscent of Mark Twain who famously quipped that quitting smoking was easy, he’d done it hundreds of times!

      Change your mind about food and you’ll change your whole life. Stop dieting now and begin to truly understand food. All of us, especially our children, need to become lean and strong again. This begins by changing our value system, moving from eating highly processed foods, from using food as emotional comfort, from failing to use our bodies as they were designed—which is to be in motion.

      Did you learn to use food as consolation, reward, comfort? Did someone give you a cookie to distract you during a moment of childhood upset or as a reward? If so, you may have gotten stuck in the belief that food is comfort, love, or reward. You can shift your thinking. The main difference between overweight people and people who maintain fit, slender bodies is that slim people think of food as fuel; they make discerning choices about what constitutes fuel and what does not. As you read Lighten Up, Win at Losing and begin to practice hypnotic re-learning, you’ll be able to shift from the old and damaging way you thought about food to a new empowering view. Food is fuel! You and your wonderful body deserve to have high quality fuel to energize and renew your being. And yes, there can be enormous pleasure and enjoyment in eating this way.

      Change your mind about food, change your whole life. Stop dieting. Begin to truly understand food.

      Affirmation:

      I am doing well and I enjoy turning old cravings into healthy actions.

      2. Hypnosis Gets Me Started, Helps

      Me Lose, and Keeps Me Going

      Hypnosis is a pleasant and relaxing way of breaking old, unhealthy patterns of overeating, under nourishing, and yo-yo dieting. Hypnosis helps free you of old habits, cravings, and binge eating; it can literally help you change your mind about food once and for all. It also helps you jump-start your healthy exercise program and stick with it. You have already been hypnotized by television ads to believe that food IS emotional nourishment. Remember Nothing says lovin’ like somethin’from the oven or Bake Someone Happy. Your computer screen and your TV are highly hypnotic.

      Research shows that dieters lose twice as much weight when hypnosis is combined with healthy food and exercise and they keep the weight off longer.

      Therapeutic Hypnosis negotiates agreement between mind AND body (this is real will power) so that change occurs, and more importantly, so that change is sustainable and life-long. Research shows that dieters lose twice as much weight when hypnosis is combined with healthy food and exercise and they keep the weight off longer.¹

      So, this little kit has what you need to get started on the rest of your life as a healthy, confident consumer of food. By listening to the your hypnosis sound track (you will find download instructions in the resources section of the book, chapter 22), you’ll discover that when you change your mind about food, your body will naturally adjust its weight downward. When you add a little consistent exercise, your strong and slender body will emerge. Believe me, it’s in there!

      Your thinking mind does everything it can to resist change and it doesn’t govern will power. Perhaps this is why just when you decide that today is the day to start losing weight, you hear a little voice inside that says Aw come on, just one more brownie or ice cream cone...you deserve it and the next moment you make an unhealthy choice and feel guilty about it. Your subconscious mind (the mind you activate in hypnosis) is in charge of will power. It is about 8 to 10 times stronger than your thinking mind. Let your sub-conscious mind help you carry out your desire to change your mind about food, and exercise as you become lean, mean, and delicious. You’ll fine it easier and easier to pass up foods that trigger weight gain, making healthier
