Chrissie Webber works as a writer, business coach and motivation/ leadership trainer and is Managing Director of Life-Shapers Ltd, an online weight-loss motivation company. With over 20 years experience in the field of business and people development she has an expertise in the area of motivation for permanent weight loss.
Following a lifetime of weight issues - at her heaviest, over 21 stone and a massive size 30 – she has personal experience of diets and their devastating effect on size and psyche. With a background in nursing, psychology and business coaching, coupled with a lifetime of dieting, she developed and successfully used a series of models and tools that enhance weight loss motivation. Now over 5 dress sizes smaller and having sustained her weight loss for several years, Chrissie continues her passionate drive to change the mindsets of people away from a ‘Scarcity’ dieting mindset – where food is demonised as ‘good’ or ‘bad’ – to an ‘Abundance’ mindset where mind, body and spirit work hand in hand with food and nature.
The other day I heard the phrase ‘Weapons on Mass Reduction’ which made me stop and think. What are the weapons in our arsenal that can be used to destroy our motivation disablers and boost our motivation enablers?
After years of playing the dieting game we need an arsenal of new weapons. These are required to remotivate weight loss, whenever it wanes. It is these weapons that are the tools used to boost your motivation. They form a toolkit for the development and maintenance of sustainable motivation. This in turn aids effective, long-term weight management.
The tools that form your weapons arsenal are…
Change Champion – the desire and determination to change, which stems from a solid belief that you can make it happen, given the right tools and support.
Uniquely Lovable – the belief that you are and always have been deserving of all the love in the world and especially that which comes from within yourself.
Conscious Eating – the skills and habits with food, used by people who have always lived diet free and without a weight issue.
Image of You – the ability to sustain the image of a slim, trim self, which is accomplished through loving support from yourself and others.
Mind & Body Connections – the skill of switching on your mind to your body in order to monitor your satiety and emotional levels to prevent overeating and comfort eating.
Comfort Loving – the ability to find loving actions that replace the habit of comfort eating
Energy Enhancers – the desire to increase the peace and energy in your life through the food you eat and the physical activity you take.
Positive Reflections – the skill of inner reflection that aids in you reframing old, unhelpful beliefs, leading you away from shame and guilt and towards the joy and bliss of life.
Soul Food - the skill of connecting to a power of love far greater than ours that has only our happiness at its heart.
These are the tools that unlock the truth of the motivational potential that lies within you. Understanding your motivation disablers and developing your own strategies to ensure that you use an abundance of motivation enablers is a commitment you make to yourself.
