Hi there everyone.
I have come up with a new survey to find out about how people's weight affects their summer holidays.
http://www.petecohen.tv/go/weight-loss-questionnaire/
I would really appreciate you taking the short bit of time that it takes to fill it in. We will be colating the results at the end of the month and be sharing them with you all.
Please could you ask anyone you know who wants to lose weight, even if it's just a few pounds to fill in the questionnaire.
Thank you so much.
:)
Hi there everyone,
As you may or may not know the magic number for my weight loss programme is 28, as it takes about this number of times of doing something new for it to become a habit.
I have put together 28 steps to a better and happier life. Have a look through and see what you think;
Until next time, take good care,
Pete
You are welcome to download my free weight loss hypnotic mp3. This track has helped thousands of people lose weight easily and effectively.
Here's just a few of their comments:
"I have lost over 24 pounds using this tool"
"The MP3 is great. At the end I feel wonderful"
"The relaxation MP3 helps me keep my stress levels down and increase my belief in my ability to keep losing weight."
"Pete is right about the MP3 - it does relax me, makes me feel more positive and has helped me lose over 74 pounds."
"I can't believe how much better the relaxation and transformation mp3 makes me feel. I am eaten better and feeling great"

So how can this Relaxation Track help people lose weight when it seems like a dichotomy; going against everything that people are usually told about losing weight?
Most people associate weight loss with dieting, and dieting with hard work, denial, sweat and sometimes tears. The process of losing weight makes many people tense and anxious as they are so concerned about how much they are eating or whether they have lost enough weight.
It has always been my goal that in helping people to lose weight, I would also teach them to enjoy the process and become more relaxed and calm.
This is especially important because most people overeat when they are tired, bored, lonely, stressed, anxious or sad, along with many other emotions. Bad eating habits are not often associated with feeling relaxed, calm and peaceful.
The transformation and relaxation tool relaxes the body and calms the mind. The knock-on effect of this is that people become better at managing their emotions and make better choices, automatically choosing foods which are healthier as well as having an increased desire to exercise and be active.

The power of suggestion.
Everyone is open to suggestion and we are more easily influenced that we think.
The power of positive suggestion or, as some people call it, positive affirmation is an essential part of achieving success in many areas of life, whether that's sport, business or - of course - losing weight and getting fit.
In this tool I take the person, who wants to lose weight, on a guided journey where I make many positive suggestions to them and their ability to break habits and achieve. The result of this is that people start to give themselves more positive reinforcements and feel good about all the changes they are making.
In addition there are many health benefits from using this tool because when people relax their brains works differently and this creates many positive changes in the body, like decreased blood pressure, heart rate, muscular tension and better digestion.
