The connection between weight gain, weight loss plateauing , while at the same time skipping meals!

1. The Serenity Weight Loss and Detoxification
Program©
WHO’s in
CONTROL?
You are….so go out there and
kick some butt!

2. A fresh perspective on what is really
behind your weight gain
and meal skipping

3. Assignment # 1: Detox Your Mind
or the
Fat will Come Back
This assignment presents a very different
view on weight management that you may
not have heard before.

4. Tip:
Your
weight gain
is not a
fitness/
exercise
problem.
Although
exercise accelerates the
rate of weight loss, it is not
the reason for the weight
gain.

5. OK..maybe you should do something!

6. This assignment will trigger many
thoughts; some may be a little painful
and at times sad. Thus, we recommend
that you start this journey with your
nutritional coach,
then sit quietly and journal additional
thoughts that the assignment triggered.

8. No it was not an apple!
This assignment is for the serious minded student, who wants the truth!
Are you sick and tired of being
sick and fat?

9. Steps:
1. Recognizeiii iiithe first incident that caused you to feel out of
control (in your life) (See Footnotes below, to help you with
this)

10. TIP: YOU ARE NOT OUT OF CONTROL.
In fact you are a control addict,
continually trying to control everything and
everybody around you since that first
incident you described in Step # 1.
This is why your weight stays within a
relatively tight limit, for example 230-240
lbs for the past 5 years.

11. 2.Know the truth – the truth we are
seeking in this program is how that
first incident in step #1 triggered
your weight management
challenges

12. 3. Act on
the truth
that you
know now.
Recognize
that food
or the
food that
you eat or
don’t eat,
controls
nothing. It only controls how you will look
and no one cares that you control your
own fat! By the way, this little mind game
will make you sick.

13. 4. Your thoughts… the only other
area in your life within 100% of your
control. True control comes from
knowing that GOD or your “higher
power”, however you refer to it, gave
you this power.
Have you been using this gift wisely?

14. One more thing, before you go:
“How come every time I try to lose
weight I plateau”?
Like a polar bear, fat is protection
from the elements (life)

15. When you start to lose
weight you get scared.
You feel exposed; your
protective suit is
shrinking

16. Footnotes:
i
-235-240 lbs.and up category: The more likely it will be that your trigger was
molestation. Examples: Oprah, Mo’nique
ii
180-220 lbs category our experience is that you lived in a home environment
that was very unpredictable. This could have been a parent that was an
alcoholic physically abusive , or mentally-ill, such as having bi-polar. A
parent that was a philanderer, and embarrassed the family, had other
children, also fits in this category
iii
160-190- Parental divorce while you were a child, near death experience –
self, parent or sibling
This information is based on a survey that Serenity conducted anonymously
(non-Serenity participants) or with actual clients, totaling about 12,000
individuals, from 1992-2011
