The Serenity Weight Loss and Detoxification Program©

WHO’s in

CONTROL?

You are….so go out there and kick some butt!

A fresh perspective on what is really behind your weight gain

and meal skipping

Assignment # 1: Detox Your Mind or the

Fat will Come Back

This assignment presents a very different view on weight management that you may

not have heard before.

Tip: Your weight gain is not a fitness/ exercise problem. Although exercise accelerates the rate of weight loss, it is not the reason for the weight gain.

OK..maybe you should do something!

This assignment will trigger many thoughts; some may be a little painful

and at times sad. Thus, we recommend that you start this journey with your

nutritional coach, then sit quietly and journal additional

thoughts that the assignment triggered.

No it was not an apple!

This assignment is for the serious minded student, who wants the truth!

Are you sick and tired of being

sick and fat?

Steps:

1. Recognizeiii iiithe first incident that caused you to feel out of control (in your life) (See Footnotes below, to help you with this)

TIP: YOU ARE NOT OUT OF CONTROL. In fact you are a control addict,

continually trying to control everything and everybody around you since that first

incident you described in Step # 1.

This is why your weight stays within a relatively tight limit, for example 230-240

lbs for the past 5 years.

2. Know the truth – the truth we are seeking in this program is how that

first incident in step #1 triggered your weight management

challenges

3. Act on the truth that you know now. Recognize that food or the food that you eat or don’t eat, controls nothing. It only controls how you will look and no one cares that you control your own fat! By the way, this little mind game will make you sick.

4. Your thoughts… the only other area in your life within 100% of your

control. True control comes from knowing that GOD or your “higher

power”, however you refer to it, gave you this power.

Have you been using this gift wisely?

One more thing, before you go:

“How come every time I try to lose

weight I plateau”?

Like a polar bear, fat is protection

from the elements (life)

When you start to lose

weight you get scared.

You feel exposed; your

protective suit is

shrinking
