For over a decade, when Stacey was a practicing massage therapist (and I her client), Stacey finally came to terms with her own weight issues and lead to her substantial and permanent weight loss. For me, I gained weight incrementally over those years - gaining over 50 pounds at my heaviest weight. Towards the end of Stacey’s practice – and most recently through her book – I have been rethinking myself, and my weight. Thanks to Stacey's counsel and approach, and I have now been losing the weight (30 pounds down, about 20 to go). And its have nothing to do with dieting (in the typical sense). And I'm keeping it off.</p> <p><strong>Sherrin Pacione:</strong><br /> I am reading an excellent book called Why Are you Weighting?<br /> It deals with the emotional side of eating. The obstacles that many people overcome with eating is often overlooked or not dealt with. This book provides strategies on how to deal with the emotional side of eating. It is very tactical and provides excellent advice on working through this. I think this book is a very informative and appropriate way to assist people with understanding their weight gain/weight loss and how to approach it differently. </p> <p><strong>Kimberly Vetrano</strong><br /> Stacey points out that the real reason why we are overweight has more to do with internal factors than external factors. It has to do with how you perceive yourself and what you believe others think of you. (whether justified or not.) </p> <p>I realize after reading Why Are You Weighting? that a lot of my ideas about my weight came from when I was a child. Over the years I tried every diet in the world, even going as far as weight reduction surgery. but yet I'm still overweight. Why? </p> <p>After reading this book, I realize that all the beliefs I had growing up about myself...that I was a loser (compliments of my sister) and that perhaps I wasn't good enough (why my mother abandoned me) all played over and over and over again in my subconscious. So that even though on the surface I knew what I was doing as far as loosing weight, my subconscious was telling me otherwise. </p> <p>The book touches upon so many points that I never really considnered before. There is so much valuable information that I am reading it AGAIN just to make sure I didn't miss anything. </p> <p>This is NOT another "self-help" book, nor is it a diet book. There is no "diet" as far as Why Are You Weighting? is concerned. This is a book about YOU and what goes on INSIDE of you that keeps you on this vicious merry-go-round we call weight loss. If you can learn to recognize the reasons WHY you are holding onto your weight then you can find the way to "rethink" yourself to a thinner, happier and healthier you. </p> http://www.whyareyouweighting.com/forum/topic.php?id=11#post-27 Thu, 13 May 2010 03:59:14 +0000 Sara Jayne White 27@http://www.whyareyouweighting.com/forum/ <p>I am wrapping up day two of the sugar cleanse. I was feeling really good until this afternoon when I got a headache, and I am one of those lucky people who rarely get headaches. I wonder if this is a side effect from ditching sugar? It may also be that I used to drink half a pot or more of coffee each day. Now, because I am detoxing from sugar and dairy, I can only take my coffee black and that just doesn't sit well with my taste buds. I've been drinking black tea as a substitude, but I don't really enjoy it. Does anyone have advice for me? </p> <p>~sj </p> http://www.whyareyouweighting.com/forum/topic.php?id=10#post-26 Tue, 16 Feb 2010 03:35:31 +0000 lauchlan4@yahoo.ca 26@http://www.whyareyouweighting.com/forum/ <p>Hi there...I began the TRIUMPH program last week and I just wanted to share that I have had a great week. The sugar cleanse has rid me of cravings and I have released 14 pounds this week. What I have gained is a sense of calm and control. I can tell you that tastes way better than any food could. If you are new to WAYW or TRIUMPH, I would love to hear how you are doing. If you're thinking of getting the book and beginning the process of shedding the excess weight, I can only say one thing...welcome home...get reading and you'll know what I mean. </p> http://www.whyareyouweighting.com/forum/topic.php?id=8#post-16 Wed, 04 Feb 2009 19:06:50 +0000 admin 16@http://www.whyareyouweighting.com/forum/ <p>Share what you have discovered triggers you to eat. It just might help others to discover their own triggers. </p> http://www.whyareyouweighting.com/forum/topic.php?id=9#post-22 Wed, 12 Aug 2009 03:12:08 +0000 dwalton60 22@http://www.whyareyouweighting.com/forum/ <p>I read Stacey's book a few months back and I realized how little she dealt with calories and exercise and much more with the psychology of our 'bad habits' and how to break them. Her book can apply to any emotional issues that deal with excess - overeating, smoking, coffee drinking, alcohol, gambling etc. I feel my 'Aha' moment came when I realized that all our excesses are more about our emotional unhappiness and that is the key to balancing our eating problems and any other bad habits or addictions we indulge in. The process of recovering from overeating is so much more than counting calories and I think the way she's written the book is very clear, it's very friendly and it's very helpful. Most importantly it's coming from someone who has walked the walked. I followed many of her suggestions and it's really all about creating a new way of thinking. I highly recommend this book for any type of emotionally based excesses we suffer.<br /> I hope more people discover 'Why are You Weighting' instead of the pricey and short term fixes like Jenny Craig, Nutri System or any other quick fix - not to mention the numerous weight loss clinics that promise fast results but don't even get close to tackling the real issues of weight - emotionally insecurities and unhappiness. </p> http://www.whyareyouweighting.com/forum/topic.php?id=7#post-15 Wed, 04 Feb 2009 19:05:27 +0000 admin 15@http://www.whyareyouweighting.com/forum/ <p>What insights into yourself have you had as a result of reading Why Are You Weighting? and/or being involved in the Triumph! Coaching.</p> <p><strong>Stacey Grieve:</strong><br /> My biggest a-ha in all my weight journey was realizing that regardless of what the scales said, I didn't really see myself as a slim person. In my mind's eye view of myself I was always seeing myself as someone significantly overweight. When I realized this, I didn't actually believe it at first, because how could my mind's eye view differ so completely from reality? But differ it did, and this revelation was truly a turning point for me, and definately one of the "secrets to my success". </p>
