For Steve
As do I.
Almost identical to my own methods.
lol
That's laughable.
It's funny how our approaches are almost identical yet, magically, you're 'clients' when confronted with the truth of thermodynamics undo all of their neural programming from years and years in one swell swoop and successfully lose weight.
Telling them the truth does not in an of itself flush out the BS and the self delusion. It does make them think. It also block them from going back to the irrational thinking that serves their delusional state. It works like a charm. I use a variation of RET to cause the client to question their irrational beliefs, behaviors and attitudes. When they can no longer hide in their delusional thinking they get very uncomfortable. When people are uncomfortable they get motivated to take action really quickly. When hey see a clear path to an objective and when they see a plan that looks fool proof to them and if they are honest they will follow that plan. It is a bit more complex than this but what I have done here is spit in their soup so to speak, The reason for the hateful reactions is because they are now uncomfortable in their own belief system and they see how their system has failed them so they are having tantrums and they are scared. That is why they are striking out at the the messenger. They will get used to it. They are not used to someone telling it to them like it is. They are used to being patronized by their doctors and the diet industry. Remember it has been the doctors and the diet industry that has failed them by coddling them and appealing to their weakness, egoism, greed, gluttony, gullibility and hedonism. I appeal to their sense of honor, and justice.
Get real.
As do I.
In truth, it seems we have very similar methods.
Unfortunately your delivery of said message is atrocious.
I don't pussy foot around but I do hook them first so that I can apply my "Irish diplomacy." I want them to get angry because anger is an honest emotion. They spew their verbal venom and then the hear it repeated back. They see how irrational it is and they see how full of crap they are. They don't like that because like I said they are egoistic. It drive them nuts but it makes them want to change. Once the have been cut down to size they find the humility that so many of them lack. When they find their humility they consider the effect their obesity and gluttony is having on others. When that happens they think in a more altruistic way and they begin to set priorities. They consider their roles as family members and citizens and they want to be better people. They realize that their greedy and gluttonous behavior is driven by very selfish and primitive motives. By now they want to be more than a hedonistic and selfish boor whose sentences start with I and end with me. They see that weight loss is merely a by product of living and thinking right. They see that food is simply a requirement for staying alive and it is not a form of recreation nor should it be used for pleasure.
In the end they develop mentally, emotionally, spiritually and neurologically. In other words, they grow up.
I do not think they are good or bad people. What I think doesn't matter to the process. I see them as people who choose irrational behavior based on irrational beliefs that have been reinforced by a culture and a civilization that is in decline. The fact that 70% of people are eating themselves to death everyday is merely a symptom of a much deeper problem. That is why I reject the conventional wisdom that blames McDonalds, and technology for this plague of the 21st century.
I know that my stuff makes people uncomfortable. Most humans do have the herd mentality. Change is scary. That is why we need leaders. 30% of the herd is moving in the right direction health wise. The rest of the herd are lemmings and every year more an more end up walking off the cliff to their demise.
It's misdirected too.
I've spent years delivering the very same message to this community. As have others. And that brings us full circle to my initial point that your super awesome research doesn't apply to this community or my clientèle.
Most of my research speaks for itself. I spent many years examining myths and popular notions. I spent many years finding out why most dieters fail. I have sent the past few years working on a delivery system for a therapeutic approach that is effective and easy to employ. I have come up with something that is highly effective and easy to employ. I am further perfecting strategies and tactics that can be passed on for free. I know that in the experimental stage alone I have saved at least 20 lives. What I am doing is not pretty nor is it popular but I think it is more important than AIDS and cancer research combined.
So why are you directing it here?
This is a laboratory for me.
The masses are the ones who are being misguided by faulty, corrupt advertisers. They're the ones who are being enabled by con artists. Not niche communities such as this.
The deception by advertisers is a big part of the problem. They know all the stuff I am saying regarding the nutty and neurotic nature of fat people. They exploit and manipulate the these lemmings into eating a plate full of shit sandwiches everyday. I see effects the brain washing here quite clearly. Perhaps you are too close to it. I meant to piss some people off because I wanted their honest reactions but I also want them to evaluate in a sober and unemotional way their reactions to my stuff. I would like them to focus their anger on the people who have BSed them. I would like them to get angry enough to become empowered and inner motivated.
So why not direct your at
tention there to prove your point instead of someplace that obviously doesn't need it?
Again this is a lab and it came up in google. I have done this on WLS forums, Atkins, South Beach, 3 Chicks on a diet ect.. I have even done similar things on pro ana sites and got some vary surprising reactions and I also gathered some valuable insight that I believe very few people understand. I also helped several anas and mias have breakthroughs that saved them and I was not even telling them anything. I was simply asking question so that I could gain an understanding and as a side effect they had a breakthrough that pointed them back to normal. BTW, anas are very polite and humble. They are insightful and evolved although they have some irrational ideas and I think many are misdiagnosed OCD. Others who have full blown Anorexia Nervosa are absolutely heartbreaking. They truly need a gentle approach but the usually get treated like crap. Fat people on the other IMO require a very direct and tough approach. They can take it. Anas rarely defend themselves. Fatlings are nearly always defensive, aggressive and strident. They are not shrinking violets.

I hope this helps Steve.
