		<description>Renee, you make the world a better place.  I've been reading a book called, My stroke of insight : a brain scientist's personal journey / Jill Bolte
     Taylor.
It's an autobiography about a very successful brain scientist who has a stroke in her left brain and eventually recovers.  But ironically, in having the stroke and quieting her left brain (only because it's been damaged!) she experiences oneness with the universe, peace, nirvana.  So many things on her journey relate to IOWL and I realized that your podcast is quite oriented to the right brain--visualization, self-acceptance, peace, joy, fun, whereas every other weight loss program I've seen is very left brain--numbers, discipline.
Also, I've been applying your podcast to my work as a musician...it's been utterly effective as I realize the mega-outcome I want from my music is joy, connection, fun!  Also, when I make a mistake, picturing how I want it to go next time, like the golfer--wow!--so effective!  Not to mention being down 18 pounds to 133 pounds!  Thank you thank you thank you!</description>

		<description>Hi S,

There are two possibilities. If you have done your foundation work of making sure no part of you objects to being slim, in other words if you are in inner alignment, it's possible this behavior is simply a habit.  If that's the case, then you can change it using the re-do and pre-do techniques. You could also use my "Compulsion Blow Out" guided journey, which provides a permanent release from a specific food compulsion, like snacking while eating.

If however you are not in alignment about releasing these 14 pounds, then I suggest you go back to the early episodes and get yourself into alignment. You can also use my guided journey "Sabotage Self Sabotage", which is a powerful process to create this alignment.  You could then do the "Compulsion Blow Out" to really seal the deal on this frustrating behavior.

Take care,

Renee</description>

		<description>Hi Renee, 

I have just found your programme today. I want to ask you a question. I am feeling very motivated at the moment. I eat relatively healthily 80% of the time. I exercise frequently. I want to lose about 14 pounds and am determined to do it. I have had two good weeks. My biggest problem however is that I tend to pick at food. In particular when I am surrounded by it. I was out at my parents house yesterday and cooked lunch and dinner for my family. The food was mostly healthy but I was full before I even sat down to eat because I had been tasting and eating while preparing. This is a problem I have had for years. I am not sure why I do it when I know that I want to stop. However, I think that it's part of my unrelaxed personality or maybe it's greed. I don't know what I can do to stop myself and I was hoping that you would have some advice?

Keep up the great work!
