Think Differently First - 100 Pound Weight Loss Story


Friday, November 05 @ 07:45:11 EST
“My 100 pound weight loss ended up being the easiest thing I’ve ever done,” muses Zo Houseman, as she reflects on her weight loss journey five years ago.<

There is so much societal pressure to be thin that dieting is often an externally-driven decision for many. And usually it doesn’t work for long. Choosing for you is key. At 260 pounds, Zo experienced steadily deteriorating health and feared dying young. Her first new thought was choosing to lose weight for better health, not for looks or for other people.

In Live Lightly!, Zo explains that “diet” doesn’t mean deprivation to lose weight. Diet is just what you eat. What she ate conformed to her lifestyle – no cooking and eating out. She still lost 100 pounds. “If I can do it, so can anyone.” It just takes changing beliefs and thoughts to support weight loss.

Willpower is emotionally-driven and just doesn’t last. Changing your thoughts does.

Zo looked at why she failed at all her previous diets. She created new strategies to be successful. For example: She went on a low-fat diet, so she didn’t have to cut out any food groups and ate as much as she wanted as long as she stayed below her daily fat gram goal. She was never hungry. This kept her from repeating her past - feeling deprived, freaking out and bingeing.

Zo’s massage therapy clients and many friends have lost weight on her simple plan and have kept it off. In changing their thoughts and losing weight, they became different, happier people.

Resources are provided in Live Lightly! and Zo’s website, www.setyourheartfree.com to help people figure out where they are and where they want to go. The eBook provides a simple path to adapt and follow. Zo further helps people uncover their emotional blocks to losing weight by offering a free 10-minute phone consultation to purchasers of Live Lightly!

“My desire is to inspire people and show that if I can transform myself and my life, they can too.”
