How I Ate Half A Pan of Brownies Over The Weekend And Still Retained My Lowest Weight In Years

Posted on 28. Apr, 2010 by kathleen in Diet, NLP, Weight Loss/Reduction

Woo Who! My weight is the lowest it has been in the last thirteen years – accomplished easily while having fun and enjoying life. My thanks to Andy Austin for all of his help with sustained motivation and the ease of reducing 27 pounds since last fall. I previously reduced 25 pounds over the proceeding three and a half years that involved mucho yo yo dieting.  I consulted Andy once to identify and maintain the “Right Path” and the result is and continues to be excellentl. You can learn more about him at http://www.andrewtaustin.com. He accomplished this outcome by a combination of hypnosis and metaphor utilizing some of Charles Faulkner’s  work to identify the right path as well as his innovative Integrated Eye Movement  Therapy. 

“Tee Hee”, says Geraldine, my inner child weight reduction saboteur, “I ate half a pan of brownies over the weekend.”  She is such an imp.  We had a dinner for a number of people Friday night who were interested in meeting one of the congressional candidates and discussing his platform.  I made the irresistible Ghirardelli Brownies for dessert. Recently a friend of mine who has been attending a weight reduction seminar in Atlanta, GA told me that it takes your metabolism 48 hours to recover from eating sugar. 

That afternoon, Geraldine began by eating one brownie.  Then she said to me, “Since our metabolism is already wrecked for the next 48 hours we might as well eat as many brownies as we want.”  So she ate half the pan.  That Geraldine is such a little imp of a saboteur.

Now you can see why I am so pleased to be at my lowest weight in the last thirteen years and to have reduced my weight 27 pounds.  It’s a miracle with Geraldine’s preferred donut and fudge diet with half a pan of brownies thrown in for good measure.

My strategy to get back onto the “Right Path” and accomplish my weight outcome was to eat lots of fiber, with limited protein portions (eggs, chicken, turkey & salmon) accompanied by unlimited veggies and limited portions of fruit?  I had a small portion of food every three hours as your metabolism is 30% higher while you are digesting food.  What strategy are you using to reduce your weight?  Inquiring minds like mine and Geraldine’s want to know.

    Hi Kathleen! Congratulations – it feels good huh?! A few brownies once in a while is OK…and Geraldine must also get some treats!
    I recently listened to Andy’s weight loss dvds and have adopted his strategy of switching meals around and now start the day off with a good meal. I initially gained weight(!) but now it’s beginning to swing around…. phew!! I also took the time to look at a few of my metaphors around weight and have gained some emotional freedom around food. All good stuff!
    Keep up the good work!
    Jane :)

    Hi Jane,

    Thanks for your note. Yep those brownies were excellent. But even better is to be lighter than before :) - Glad to hear Andy’s weight reduction material is working well for you too. Would you be willing to allow me to interview you about how you used Andy’s material. The metaphors you examined around weight and the freedom you have gained. One of the things I liked that he did for me was to suggest I could have a treat every now and then. When I do indulge and enjoy a treat it is so much easier to get back onto the Right Path to my ideal weight. Thanks again for your feedback and take good care of yourself.

    Kathleen & Geraldine
