Sunday Star Times interview: Lea was interviewed by the Sunday Star Times for an article examining the effects feeding habits in infancy have on the development of diabetes, obesity and heart disease in later life. The article appeared on the front page of the Sunday Star Times (12th February, 2012) and can be found online entitled “Spoonful of obesity anyone?“.

Moving on by Reprogramming old habits

Most of us carry around old habits and outmoded perceptions from our past without realising the impact they have on our health through self sabotage. Here are a few Lea commonly hears:

“I can’t stop putting on weight. I’m constantly tired, depressed and craving sweet foods”

You can’t feel happy if you are always tired, hungry and guilty. A healthy diet can help you to find renewed energy levels and a positive outlook on life.

“It’s frightening to think I could lose 20Kgs, I could never go below 100kgs”

If you are frightened of something you won’t do it. You need to understand that fear before you can move on.

“Every other time I’ve tried to lose weight I’ve ended up heavier”

This comment fails to recognise an ability to learn new skills and our follow-on maintenance programme that offers on-going education and support once goals are reached.

“I’ll start exercising on Monday”

Why postpone happiness? If you start on a Friday you can have the weekend to practice.

“I ate heaps of takeaways and ice cream last night because I’m starting my diet today”

Diets don’t work. You have to learn how to enjoy all foods in a balanced way. If you feel deprived from the start, it won’t work. It’s time you pampered yourself in other ways.

“Everyone in my family is small”

Everyone has the right to reach their full potential. Many families have children who are taller than their parents or siblings.

“I’ve always been small”

Maybe your have always eaten in a similar way, lets find out if things could be better.

 

If all of these things sound familiar and you are ready for a new lease of life then give us a call we would love to help you find a healthier you.
