It’s that wonderful time of year again. In a few days our favorite plus sized man in a red suit will slip down our chimneys and fill our stockings with presents. While the next day our friends and family will try to fill our bellies with excessive amounts of food. This great holiday tradition usually is followed by naps and/or driving home with your pants belt unbuckled. So how can we avoid overeating and staying away from unhealthy foods over the holidays? I have 3 easy, effective tips that can really help.

It’s getting close to the end of the year, that wonderful, happy time to reflect on all the great accomplishments you've made over the last year and celebrate with your friends and family. That's great and congratulations to all that have succeeded this year! But what about those who didn't accomplish what they wanted to this year and failed to reach their goals?

So I see this a lot (and I myself have been guilty of it too)... Walking by a vending machine or opening the door to the fridge looking up, down, left and right and thinking "Hmmm... What do I want to eat?"

Well the answer to that question is simply NOTHING!... This post I am going to talk about false hunger cravings.

That's right don't "lose" weight... Now I know "lose" is "just" a word... But is it?... Can ONE WORD be the secret to weight loss?

While it may be no secret that millions of Americans are struggling to lose weight, the answers to those struggles could be quite simply one word. Lose. One mistake people commonly make is they want to “lose” weight. The intention is good. But the meanings that people subconsciously associate with the word "lose" are not beneficial to successfully keeping the weight off.

Hello my name is Ryan Mazurkivich and I just wanted to take a minute to introduce myself to the group. I am a Consulting Hypnotist and I will be blogging here about the mental and emotional aspects of food, our choices and relationships with food, setting achievable goals and having the right mindset for success.

So it all starts with a "thought"... Have you ever wondered why some people succeed and others fail? Ask anyone who has achieved a great success in their life and you'll hear from their conversation that they think differently than others that struggle. Their mental approach is basically that there is no failure only feedback.
