Wouldn't you like to know how to clear up the confusion about your body image and obstacles to weight loss?

Bodies are kind of a mystery aren't they? You look at one person who can eat ice cream, french fries, and lots of bread (not necessarily all at the same time!) and not seem to gain an ounce.

And then there are others (maybe you consider yourself to be in this category) who seem to gain weight just by looking at a bag of chips or piece of cake.

Sure, that's an exaggeration, but what gives!? Let's be honest - it can be maddening, frustrating, and downright depressing.

Of course, what's really happening here is that you're comparing your body to the bodies of others. This is the #1 reason for feeling dissatisfied with your body. You have a story about how your body shouldn't be - because you've got a story about how it should be.

So How is the Comparing Working For You?

When you're unhappy with the state of your body, sometimes it can seem like comparing your body to another body is a good idea.

Maybe you see a picture of someone in a magazine and you think, "She's really attractive." Then when you think about your own body it sounds like this: "My body isn't as nice as hers" and that thought makes you feel bad.

So then as a reaction to believing that thought and feeling that way, you decide that you're going to start a diet or an exercise program.

Seems to make sense, right?

But what's happening here is that you're not moving toward those diets and exercise programs with clarity. You're moving toward them as a reaction. You're moving toward them out of fear because you haven't made friends with your body as it is.

When you're in reaction, it's easy to neglect your Thoughts and Feelings. You may feel unhappy about something and jump straight into the Actions with what you can do about the situation. When you don't pay attention to your thoughts (which ultimately lead to your feelings) sustaining any action like a diet or fitness program will be that much harder.

The Story of You

Even though your body doesn't look exactly like another person's body - people tend to have very similar stories about their bodies. Which of these sound like you?

• A life-long struggle. Ever since you can remember you have been self-conscious of your weight and have struggled with self-esteem and diet programs. You often feel like there's something wrong with you because you're "supposed to be" thinner and able to lose weight. Your body feels more like an unwelcome stranger than a friend.
• Life after 30. You didn't used to have an issue with weight, but now that you're getting older the body is responding differently than it used to. Your belly is getting bigger, you don't have the energy that you used to, your thighs are getting wider, your boobs are...well, you get the picture. You're trying to adjust to your new body and you're concerned that it's just going to get worse from here.
• A few extra pounds. You tend to feel pretty good about your body, but every now and then you grab a little chunk of fat and shake it thinking, "It'd be great to get rid of this." You want to lose weight, but you also want to be kind to yourself without going on a crackers and water diet.
• I want peace. Being 400 pounds or 100 pounds would be fine with you - so long as you could be at peace with it. You really want to make friends with your body as it shows up now and then you'll be open to whatever happens from there. The bottom line is that you want to stop arguing with the reality of your body.

Whether your dissatisfaction with the size of your body is this big:[---------------------] or this big: [-], if you're not 100% happy with your body as it is right now, the only thing between you and that peace is a series of stressful and limiting beliefs that you can question.

It Comes Down to 2

If you strip away all the ideas about weight loss, body image, and what's "appropriate" for someone your height, when it comes down to it, we've noticed that there are 2 ways to do anything:

1. With Peace
2. With Stress

So think of your body as it is now - right in this moment as you're sitting there reading this. There are two ways to be in that body that you have - with peace or with stress.

And when it comes to losing weight, there are two ways to do that - one with peace, and the other with stress.

In fact, there are two ways to gain weight - with peace or with stress.

(You're probably catching the drift of this, right?) :-)

Whether you experience peace or stress during those situations depends entirely on the stories that you're telling yourself. It's never actually a body issue that we're dealing with when it comes to body image - it's a thinking issue. And once your thinking gets cleared up, the feelings, actions, and results that ripple out from there can come from clarity instead of confusion.

Who Would You Be?

Who would you be without the story that your body should be thinner? Many people fear that if they didn't have that story that they would just sit around and eat chips all day and wouldn't be motivated to take care of their bodies or exercise. (Sound like a familiar fear?)

But can you really know that that's true?

Could it be possible that you could take care of your body and be moved to eat healthy foods and exercise without all that pressure and fear that comes with the thought of: "My body should be thinner?"

Can you imagine what would you'd be capable of if you weren't spending so much energy being stressed out with that belief?

Introducing the Home Study Course: Weight Loss & The 4 Brick Walls

Weight Loss & The 4 Brick Walls is a Home Study Course with audio CDs, notes, and materials devoted to helping you understand and question the confusing and painful thoughts that you have about your body and the concept of weight loss.

Why? Because have you noticed that wherever you go, your body is there with you!? The body is like your constant companion, no matter what you're up to - and if you're not at peace with it (because you think it should be thinner) the effects of that dissatisfaction can spill over into your professional and personal life - and especially affect the way you feel about yourself in the world.

So in 4 CDs recorded from our live teleclasses, my partner Giovanni and I will go in depth to help you explore the stories that keep you from feeling at peace with your body; the stories that both lead you to want to lose weight and that keep you from moving toward that - if that's what you want.

Each CD focuses on one of the 4 brick walls and goes in depth about how it affects the relationship you have with your body. These are quality recordings from our live teleseries on this topic and you'll get to hear questions and answers from participants who are sharing their process along the way also. (You'll even get a bonus 5th audio to take your exploration deeper. You can read more about that further down the page...)

Here's a peek at some of the content we'll cover in this Home Study Course: Weight Loss & The 4 Brick Walls...

• The 4 brick walls that your mind will feel stuck on when you attempt to take better care of your body and how to work with them instead of against them
• The difference between a stressful belief and a limiting belief and how they play into your body image
• How to know when you're in or out of your integrity and what to do so that you can get back in your integrity
• Why good intentions are not enough to get you to stick with an exercise program or diet
• The #1 reason that pain doesn't work as a motivator
• The myth about exercise and how that story can bring stress with it
• How the Forbidden Fruit Dynamic can keep you stuck in a yo-yo cycle
• And much more...

What This Home Study Course Is Not...

This is an extremely important part of this page, so if you're considering ordering this program please make sure to read this carefully. We are committed to supporting you in questioning and exploring the thoughts about your body that keep you from being free.

And it's important that you know that...

• This course is not a weight loss program. It is not about setting a goal of how much weight you want to lose. This series is about making peace with your stories about losing weight and other stories about your body that would keep you from having a totally peaceful relationship with your body. We make no claims that you will lose weight as a result of using this program, though participants in the live event did find freedom to lost weight.
• This program is not full of advice about how you should exercise or what you should change in your diet. As facilitators, my partner Giovanni and I do not tell you how to take care of your body - or even that you should take care of your body. We support you in questioning your stressful and limiting beliefs about your body, exercise, food, and time so that you can find freedom to take care of your body the way you'd like to.
• This series is not about your actions. We will not be encouraging you to workout, get on a diet, or even lift a finger. What we're interested in is your thoughts about your body and your thoughts about weight loss. Your actions are your own business and we will support you in finding the clarity to take whatever actions you choose.

But I Really Want to Lose Weight!

We hear that - and if it's really true for you that you want to lose weight and you haven't been able to do that satisfactorily with the way you've been approaching it, we invite you to order this home study course so that you can explore your mind and the stories that may be keeping you from moving toward taking care of your body with peace.

If you're going to be the weight that you are - wouldn't you like to be at peace as you're doing that? And if you're going to lose weight, wouldn't you like to be at peace as you make the trip?

Questioning your mind is about freedom. It's about peace and truth. And when you've got those things, you'll be free to be the weight that you are, free to gain weight, or free to lose weight. Everywhere you turn will be a situation that works for you.

What's On The Other Side of the Stress?

My partner Giovanni facilitated a popular 12-week course called Focus on the Body. It was an in-depth exploration into the inner workings of the mind when it comes to the body and the participants were taken through a powerful original curriculum to make friends with their bodies.

Like this home study course Weight Loss & The 4 Brick Walls, that course was not designed to help people lose weight, but as participants questioned their stressful and limiting beliefs they found themselves free to move toward things that naturally felt better to them.

• One woman noticed herself exercising effortlessly and eating smaller portions without forcing herself and without guilting herself into it either. She found a peaceful way to to do those things - whereas before she felt like she had to whip herself into submission around them. As a result, she started losing weight and was having fun the whole time.
• Another participant started finding an internal motivation (as opposed to an external, fear based motivation) to take care of her body by exercising more. She used to dread getting on her elliptical machine, and after questioning some of her limiting beliefs she found herself enjoying exercising more than ever.
• There was a woman who instead of beating herself up for having some chocolate became very clear that when she was eating chocolate she should be eating chocolate. She finally stopped arguing with the reality that she sometimes ate chocolate. And as she stopped arguing with it, she noticed that eventually she stopped moving toward the chocolate as often and it wasn't such a draw for her.
• Are you ready to find out what peaceful actions are waiting for you on the other side of your stressful and limiting beliefs?

"Your patience and absence of judgment create a safe and supportive environment that allows one to feel comfortable exploring even the most intimate and intimidating thoughts and experiences."

- Aryana Talboys, Hawaii

Is it time for you to make better friends with your body?

The only thing that keeps you from feeling at peace with your body the way it is now, the way it was in the past, or the way it might be in the future, is a series of stories. And because your body is with you wherever you go, we want to help you understand the stories that you have about it - especially when it comes to the size and weight of your body.

With this home study course, you can receive the materials to listen at your own pace and at your convenience. This will be a program that will be helpful to listen to over and over when your body stories seem overwhelming and difficult to deal with.
