Phil's 7 keys to weight controll
- Right thinking
- Healing feelings
- A no-fail environment
- Mastery over food and impulse eating
- High response Cost, High Yield Nutrition
- Intentional excercise
- Your circle of support
The cheering section, are they really?
Phil's four groups of saboteurs
- The food pusher
- The control freak
- The green eyed monster
- The statue
The food pusher
We all have them in our group of friends, and very often it is our mother! And this person loves us very very much! So what do we need to understand about these people? From what I read from Phil's book, there are two sub pushers:
1. the "need to be approved" pusher
2. the "nourishing" pusher
The first person suffers by his or her own low sense of self esteem, usually they are not even aware of it. To gain your approval, friendship, love, which to them are all signs of being worthy and having value, they lavishly offer you food galore; ÿou just have to try my home made cinnamon rolls!"
The second person is often your mother, or someone who has adopted that role. These people have not stopped loving the child, a child they used to stuff full of goodies (essentially "food in wrong quantaties at wrong times"). And are unable, ore have simply not adjusted their image of you as an adult, who does not need any feeding a nourishing to grow up to be big and strong. It is essentially their way of loving you, just as they did when you were a child.
Sound familiar to you? To me it does. My mother died some 10 years ago, but she was defenitely a the "nourishing" pusher. She would smother me in food just to love me. *smiles warmly*
As for the first one, I just realised something. I AM A the "need to be approved" pusher. WOW, that is quite a realisation. I have noticed it off late that I sort of drown my geusts in food, sumptious, rich, fatty, sugary, creamy food items. And I push them to take more! I do, I really do. How is that for a revelation.
Christmas changed.....
The advantage of this self appraisal, which was not intended I will ahve you know, is that I can make a difference this Christmas. Although honesty told, I have already changed, for my food items are healthy usually. But I could bring the quantity down.
Tomorrow, on to the Control Freak
Oh yes and it was weigihing day yesterday, I lost 0.7 lb. Not much but still a satisfaying result, if I look at my antics for last week. As for my Christmas challenge? I have another 15.8 lbs to go in 7 weeks. 2.3 lbs a week..now there is a challenge!

Hello!
Thank you for the post on my blog! 10,000 steps is a program in Australia which encourages you to track how many steps you take a day. Many workplaces are getting on board. the website is

Keep going mate. I know it sux but if we don't do it now it will be too late!
A challenge indeed, but you are normally such a consistent loser that I think you can do it. I want to do something similar myself but I am a very slow loser.
*grins as I read shells' post* To be honest, I don't think it sux. It is hard and a challenge, but like changing the way I eat, I can do this as well.
Yesterday I WALKED......*grints and repeats* walked home from my friends house, a brisk 30 minute cardio work out for me, AND i made it!
Thank you for commenting on my blog.
HI Nona! How are you doing? I really need to do some serious blog hopping, just cannt find the time!
As for the challenge, i absoluely plan to make it. But can see problems on the horizon as well, I have a dinner do tonight, on monday, AND on tuesday. i will have to be very strong the rest of the days!
My own blog has been kind of quiet lately. There is so much going on and I have now taken on the challenge of writing a novel in 30 days. I'll be checking in from time to time, but probably won't post every day right now. There are only so many hours in a day and I wish to spend mine writing, working, spending time with my son (who needs me) and exercising.
Not exercising so much at the moment. I have a horrible cold and can't breathe. Also coughing so much that my back hurts! Luckily (?) I'm not eating as much either. Nothing tastes like anything, which takes some of the fun out of it, if you know what I mean.
My grandmother was a "cookie pusher". She would say, all in one breath, "You really should exercise more have another cookie." Very frustrating.
