Résumé

Have you been on lots and lots of different "diets" and lost the same half a stone several times over?!!Does part of you know what you should be doing, and another part seems to sabotage you?Is your relationship with food a constant battle?Is there a part of you that just can't be bothered because it is too hard, and another part that is scared to stop trying?Do you know there isn't a magic wand, but you keep looking and hoping for one?If you answered yes to any of these questions, then this book is for you.
Developed by Counselling Psychologist Cath Kerr and Dr Liz Royle, the book provides a rich combination of both professional and personal experience. Cath was a yo-yo dieter herself for over 30 years. With her colleague Liz, the authors have over 40 years' experience of working with people whose lives are disrupted, limited and challenged by deep emotional issues. They wanted to apply what they considered the most effective psychological approach to help people break free from yo-yo dieting and issues with weight and live a richer, happier, more fulfilling life.
Using the psychological concepts in this book, Cath lost over 3 stones (20kg) but most importantly has kept it off for over 3 years. Although losing the weight has been a bonus, the most important aspect for Cath has been that she has totally changed her mindset, stopped yo-yo dieting and stopped looking for the next "quick fix". The book offers the seven key steps that will help you to stop feeling frustrated and helpless and will give you the tools to have a focused and empowered mindset.
This in turn will enable you to take action towards optimum vitality and having the best body for you. As Cath herself says "I have maintained this way of thinking by using the strategies we are going to share with you. I am happy in my own skin and with who I am, and I cannot begin to tell you how different my life is in ways I couldn't have imagined because I have worked from the inside out."This book is not a diet or exercise programme.
You probably know plenty about nutrition! It's about the inner psychological battle that prevents you from achieving what you want. It's about making real, long-term changes. It's about reclaiming your power and your life by working from the inside out.

À propos des auteurs

For over 20 years, I worked as a psychotherapist and crisis interventionist helping people who have been through distressing or traumatic events. Sometimes I would see them immediately after an event, other times it could be many, many years later. My specialist area of clinical work was trauma and I recognized that trauma, often from early childhood, lay behind many other issues in adulthood. With my clients, we would trace back the origins of their problems and use powerful techniques such as EMDR and ego state therapy to heal the original wounds.
I realized that some of the approaches from my psychotherapy practice could be adapted and developed to help people with emotional eating and particularly with the conflict of yoyo dieting. I have always aimed to empower people to regain control of their life and their happiness through understanding their inner selves. I hope my books go some way towards this. Since starting on my professional path over 20 years ago, I have been fascinated by how we develop emotionally from childhood based on the messages we are given from the people around us.
These messages go on to influence the things we do, how we react to situations and how we respond to people as adults. As a Chartered Psychologist I have found this to be clearly evident in working with my specialist area of trauma. But I have also seen how that influence plays out in another area that I am passionate about, and that is an individual's relationship with food and how they perceive their body.
Often, these early messages are outdated, and sadly, can remain unchallenged unless a person is willing to explore the root of the problem. This in turn can leave people in a never ending cycle of dieting/not dieting, losing weight/gaining weight, while their self-worth is slowly eroded. I have been on my own journey with this issue and have been privileged to support many courageous people who have also walked this path.
My goal has always been to give people the tools and strategies to go out into the world and be as happy as they can be. So I hope that this book can make some difference in taking you closer to the person you truly are!
