1. SUCCESS STORIES FROM THE COUNSELOR’S OFFICE
(To protect confidentiality, the name used in the following example is not real)
I first met Pam 3 weeks ago and she was desperate to control her eating habits. What she told me may sound exaggerated but it’s true. Here was her problem: Between 3:00 P.M. and 11:00 P.M. she lost it. And it happened every day. I asked her what the problem was and she said to me, “Dr. Kersting, you’re not going to believe what I’m about to tell you.” You have no idea how bad it is.” Well, it went like this: Pam could put-away an entire pizza pie by herself and then binge on junk food the rest of the night. She’d been doing this for years. She said that if a box of Dove ice-cream bars is in the freezer she eats the entire box. That’s right, the whole box. If there’s a bag of cookies in the cupboard, she eats the whole bag. I could go on but I think you get the picture. Bottom line: Her portion sizes after 3:00 were enormous and when snacks were around she ate them until they were gone, no matter how many there were. She couldn’t control this problem and was disgusted with herself. Unbelievably, all she needed to lose was about 10 pounds. Ironically, her eating habits before 3:00 were excellent.
Three sessions later, Pam has not had one bite of dessert. She has no desire for junk food anymore. The other night, her daughter made her favorite cookies and she didn’t have a single bite, nor did she want one. She could not believe how easy it was. She could not believe how receptive her mind was. The power programming techniques we used sunk into her mind and changed her life.

2. BOOK NEWS
I spoke with my editor several times this week, made some changes as usual and should be getting down to the final edit pretty soon. Our target release date is December 2006.
3. FEATURE ARTICLE
WHAT EXACTLY IS AN EXERCISER? THE BIG “C” WORD
I exercise! I run! I lift! Just what is “an exerciser”, “ a weight lifter” or “a runner”? Is “an exerciser” someone who makes it to the gym 3 times a month? Is “a weight lifter” someone who lifts 5 days straight, takes 10 days off and then lifts 5 days straight again? Is “a runner” someone who used to run a lot but hasn’t run in years? Guess what the BIG “C” WORD is I’m looking for here? Ah, you’re getting close.
We can call ourselves exercisers, weight lifter’s, runner’s or bikers. We can call ourselves the Pope for that matter, but only we, ourselves, know the truth. I’ve crossed paths with many people in my day and have heard numerous times “no matter how much I exercise, I still can’t lose weight.” Now I think I have the answer to their frustration. It’s that BIG “C” WORD you’ve been trying to figure out…….CONSISTENCY. A few days of exercise here and there isn’t going to get you to your weight-loss goal. In fact a few weeks isn’t. It has got to be a life-long, consistent habit; that is if you want to maintain your weight-loss. With time, exercising becomes a routine part of your day. Something you “just do.”
You see, it is very easy to convince yourself that you’re on track, doing exactly what you should be doing to lose weight. And you might be right. But truth be told, there is no quick fix to anything in life. We can take-on an exercise regimen for four weeks and not see much weight-loss at all. This is when the problem starts. Americans want fast results, and when we don’t get them we become frustrated and then we give-up. We throw our hands-up in the air and say “this is useless.” Patience my friends…….. Patience. This is key.
So just what can you do to get on track. Try these tips.
1. Be honest with yourself
2. Make a commitment to yourself that you will exercise at least 3 days a week for six months. I’ll guarantee you’ll see results. I also guarantee that after 6 months exercising will be as routine as brushing your teeth.
3. Stay off the scale for 2 months
4. Don’t make excuses
5. Believe in yourself
