I began to conduct weight loss workshops and seminars using all the methods that I had learned as a trained and licensed psychotherapist with a Ph.D. in psychology. Every one of the people in those seminars lost weight and reached their target goals. But I failed in one major way. I did not have an extensive program for permanent - and I mean - permanent fat loss.

The result was that I got caught up in the get fat and get slim yo-yo syndrome. I even went up to 300 pounds and then back down to 207 pounds, my ideal weight. At that point, I decided enough is enough. I went on my "tough love, get fit/lose fat and keep it off permanently" program. I then devised a program where I added my previous soft love approaches to the tough love approach, just to balance out the program.

So, I ended up with a highly developed and researched, scientific approach to helping others get fit, lose fat and keep it off forever. I knew that I didn't want to do it all with a book, because many people don't like to read. I chose to use a seminar/workshop CD approach and experimented with other ways to reach as many people as possible.

I knew that a tough love approach would throw a lot of resistance in my face.But, after the initial trials, we were getting 100% success and then I knew I had to emphasize a program of weight loss, embedded in the content of the program.

You see ... old habits are hard to eliminate. Old habits return and you find yourself going back to watching food channels, food commercials, cooking shows, while the couch potato becomes the couch elephant. Fitness channels are forgotten and your exercise program consists of hand to mouth movements as you reshovel gargantuan amounts of food over your lips and on to your belly and hips. Soon your find yourself fatter than ever. It's addictive ...

As a psychotherapist, counselor, coach and mentor for over 40 years, I understand why people get hooked on addictive behavior.People smoke cigarettes because it makes them feel good. People eat for emotional reasons. They say, "I like to eat."

Have you ever tried to pull somebody away from something that they are emotionally attached to? It's almost impossible. You could become emotionally attached to just about anything..... even another human being, who may not be in your best and most healthy interests.

Have you found the program that teaches you how to keep the fat off and stay fit forever? My follow-up permanent weight loss seminars and CDs keep you on track as continual reminders based on strategic eating, strategic maintenance and total commitment to 100% fitness. It's not a diet ... it's not a new fitness machine ... it's a CD program that works with your mind and belief system to overcome years of destructive health habits. Day after day, you have my expertise and personal experience with you ... supporting you all the way.

Deep feeling work has been a love of my life. But, I understand the power of strategic thinking. By using effective strategies for losing weight and staying fit, you will get a whole new and different pleasure out of 100% permanent success. It's the difference between immediate temporary gratification versus the pleasure one enjoys from long-term healthy living and a great shapely body.

Losing fat and getting fit and staying there permanently is affirming that you are bringing creativity to the equation of permanent weight loss. What would your life be like if you were consciously creating every moment and every minute in every aspect of your life? Magic would happen and you would expand everything except your waistline. What would you look like if you were consciously creating a weight loss, stay fit permanently world of your own making? Repeat the following phrase: Creative permanent weight loss is flowing to me easily and effortlessly. I am creating fat loss and fitness for life.

This program was designed for serious people ready to change theirs lives. If you are serious and tired of the roller coaster, yo-yo syndrome of getting fat and then getting thin, then this program is for you. I realize that everyone is different and that developing a CD program that addresses all individual needs would be difficult. But as a professional therapist and coach, I knew treatment was paramount for myself and the weight loss community.

Like I said in the beginning, I am going to be tough and lovingly honest with you. I will pull no punches and not walk on eggshells. My deep abiding love for humanity and you, even though I do not personally know you, motivates me to do so. If you choose to go with my program and need my personal attention, I will try to be there for you in every conceivable way. You are not alone as we have both shared this battle in the get fit and permanent fat loss war. Are you ready to begin?

You are on a Hero's Journey, looking to overcome a lifelong devastating problem with food and hoping to stay healthy and fit permanently. What you can expect from this program is that every thought about food, fat loss and healthy living is going to be completely revamped and your entire mind will be renewed.

I do not have a magic bullet ... a miracle from heaven (although that could work) ... or an expensive surgical procedure on your body or brain. It's going to cost less money and will give you a greater pleasure than that of fattenng foods and overeating. You will not be expected to engage in hard-core exercise programs as seen on television with young fit slender bodies. I want fat bodies and I want to show how you - and anyone else - can go from being obese to a fit, lean, fat fighting machine.

The good news is that this approach uses your internal unconscious healing model for creating a Get Fit, Lose Fat program designed specifically for you ... a unique person who is different than every other being. I will drive your mind to new realizations, motivations and thinking about yourself, fat loss and pernament weight control. You will be the creative force for how best to do that.

Together, we will succeed 100% at permanent weight loss and fitness!
