Fwd: [GastricBypass-LOSERS] THE 10 LAWS OF GUARANTEED WEIGHT LOSS
I GOT THIS FROM ANOTHER GROUP SOUNDS GOOD…..
THE 10 LAWS OF GUARANTEED WEIGHT LOSS
1. EXERCISE — A minimum of 20 minutes of aerobic exercise to
increase the heart rate three times per week. Talk to your doctor
and start slowly. More exercise is OK as long as it is sensible and
balanced.
2. EAT HEALTHY — Have balanced meals, more fruits, vegetables and
fish, less red meat and far less junk food. Vitamin supplements
guided by a nutritionist or doctor.
3. EAT LESS — Conscious eating always produces a significant
decrease in food consumption. This can mean as much as 50- to 75-
percent difference in some compulsive eaters.
NOTE: One’s ability to consistently fulfill and practice Laws 1, 2
and 3 is dependent upon the practice of ALL 7 Laws below. Willpower
and denial are no substitutes. The ability to sustain the practice
of the first three Laws is a direct result of practicing Laws 4
through 10.
4. SELF-EXPRESSION — Being and doing your true self in action,
words and thinking is essential. Say what you mean, do what is right
for you and live a life that reflects your best talents and skills.
This Law is highly dependent upon the practice of Laws 5 through 10.
5. SELF-ACCEPTANCE — A willingness and ability to love and accept
yourself as the imperfect and wonderful person that you are.
Overcoming crippling self-hate and extreme self-judgment and
replacing them with compassion and a realistic assessment of your
true value. This Law is dependent upon the practice of Laws 7, 9 and
10.
6. MANAGE EMOTIONS — The ability to identify, observe and
productively focus and/or express your intense emotions. This Law is
dependent upon the practice of Law 7.
7. HEAL EMOTIONS — Identifying, experiencing and working through
your emotional wounds so they no longer dominate your behavior, your
relationships and your sense of self. This Law is dependent upon the
practice of Laws 8, 9 and 10.
8. MANAGE THINKING — The ability to identify, observe and
productively focus your thought processes. Includes the awareness
that most thinking is perceiving as opposed to knowing. This Law is
dependent upon the practice of Law 9.
9. HEAL THINKING — Identifying, experiencing and working through
your mental wounds so that they no longer dominate your emotions,
your perceptions, your relationships and your sense of self.
10. SPIRITUAL NURTURE AND DEVELOPMENT — A willingness and ability
to connect and relate to the Divine Source — God — Higher Power.
An ability to allow that Source to guide your life and nurture your
deepest needs. This Law affects all other Laws. Your ability to
practice it effectively can be limited by issues either healed or
avoided in Laws 7 and 9.
Question: Can you start with any Law and go from there to the
others? Yes you can. In fact that’s what we all do. The most
important point here is that you cannot eliminate a Law.
Question: Can you practice more than one Law at a time? Absolutely.
We all do. You can diet and eat less while you are working on your
spiritual development and healing your emotional wounds. One
supports the other.
Question: How fast can I expect results? I don’t know. Sometimes
some individuals lose weight quickly. Others need to grow
spiritually or emotionally before the weight disappears.
I suggest you use these Laws as an opportunity to assess your life.
Which Law "calls" you. Answer the call and see what happens. Then
ask the question again.
