Welcome to thread 13 of the Paul McKenna's I Can Make You Thin weight loss system.
The Golden Rules that will aid you on your journey with our like minded friendly support system are:
1. Eat what you WANT
2. Eat when you are HUNGRY
3. Eat CONSCIOUSLY
4. STOP eating when you are satisfied and full
This weight loss system is about re-educating your body; learning to listen to it and in doing so losing weight and inches. After all, eating a meal is not a competition, it's about enjoying what you are putting into your mouth, but not feeling bloated and uncomfortable (or guilty) afterwards!
Many people have issues around food. Many of us have been brought up by the 'clear your plate' parents of yesteryear which leave us feeling guilty if we leave even the smallest morsel of food, but we are working through this guilt or any other hang up we may have, and we are learning to leave a bit on the plate; return to it another time if we really want to or even feed it to the dog or the bin!
So!! forget diets; they may work for a while, but they aren't permanent solutions. This is a new way of living for your brand new life!! Let's get lighter for those Christmas outfits!!
The Paul McKenna system really works and is easy to maintain.
I've C&P'd our previous threads links as they are helpful.
Here are the book choices on AMAZON which is all you need to get started! they aren't compulsory, but they do help! it's something to refer to and listening to the cd's can really focus you.
This is the tapping technique EXPLAINED - this can be useful to combat cravings.
You don't have to buy the book and CD, but we have found that they do help and somehow they keep you on track, so it would probably be a good investment and will cost you far less than a couple of trips to WW or SW meetings, so do consider having them in your life.
Please feel free to join us, whether it's 10lbs or 10 stones you want to lose.
We are friendly, supportive and successful, but we're not hungry and that is a great way to feel when you are dropping dress sizes at the same time!!! so come on in and start living your new life today and make 2013 your year to drop a dress size or several...if we can get those lbs off a few at a time, just think how we could look and feel for Christmas and The New Year!!!
Some of our thread members are also doing PMK's Virtual Gastric Band and although this thread is not about this avenue, we will still be supportive of our friends partaking of this, so don't think we wont be there for you. I'm pretty sure that the Golden Rules will be just as helpful in this process as the I Can Make You Thin process :) so get stuck in :)

Better! I have been selected to receive a copy of his new book!! 
Haha I don't fancy him just love the fact he's making a difference to my life (just as well I can't afford private hypnotising, I obviously have therapist issues!!). Well done on you getting your question answered Solo 
Went out for lunch today, not especially mindful but still stopped when I felt full and then had no desire for dessert, so although not 100% still progress. Won't eat again either until I feel hungry so suspect I won't want tea, but totally fine with that. It feels so good to know even when I'm not 100% in the zone, my brain is obviously changing and adopting new, healthier habits.
Hope the fostering is progressing nicely Jelly do you know who you may be getting? It's something I'd love to do, but don't think I'd be able to let them go at the end
Thing is, he is so not my type!
You just go onto the thread you posted to and he'll type and answer q's and you can type q's etc. I will just be swooning
Cheers Solo just written a sycophantic post, may as well have just asked him to marry me cos I lurve him soooo much .
BrandNew and Jelly we can all do it. The way I look at it is I had 20 years of bad eating habits, that's not going to go away straight away. Of course it's going to take effort and concentration and we will slip up along the way but ultimately we're all heading in the right direction, just need to believe in yourself and know that you deserve it
Have just eaten breakfast whilst reading this thread on my phone 
that's not allowed is it!
Bugger! just wrote out a post and bloody Google Chrome messed up and lost it! grrrrrrr!!!
Basic jist ~ Jelly you can do it and tell Dh to bog off! 
Well done everyone.
I've been eating crap today.
And... post message!
Come on Jelly, you can do it too! you really can.
Tell Dh to bang up bog off! ahem!
