The weight loss, diet and relaxation thread
For anyone interested in weight loss and/or relaxation techniques, I thought I'd post the following link to a hypnotherapy guy I found on Youtube.
I thought he was quite good, if a little unusual. Obviously, it's different strokes for different folks... so if BE members have other contributions for this thread, please share.
Meanwhile, if you've got time to chill... enjoy...

Re: The weight loss, diet and relaxation thread
I only found the clip last night.
I'm thinking about a post Christmas campaign... but really only stumbled upon this clip by accident... it was one of those this leads to that situations...
I went looking for a music clip and a promo popped up for "vaginal knitting". (I kid you not.) So, I'm thinking how does one knit with ones privates?... so that lead to a, lets say quite unusual, arty clip... which led to a clip by Dr whatshisnot about how people respond to sound... which led to this. Given I was tired and open to the idea of weight loss (though I may never knit anything ever again) I decided to give some of my time to the weight loss clip and found it to be quite relaxing in a listening to a man with an unusual voice kind of way.
That said... if anyone else has weight loss suggestions which don't require major cash outlay or the exclusion of all chocolate products... roll them out pls.

Re: The weight loss, diet and relaxation thread
Plan out what you're going to eat before you eat it (there are loads of free calorie trackers online, I highly recommend www.myfitnesspal.com (make sure that you correct it as you eat other stuff)
Don't have an unrealistic expectation of what you're going to lose.
Oh and remember that, barring allergies/intolerances, there's no such thing as a bad food - there's no need to demonise any food. And if you have a bad meal, just start over at the next meal, don't think 'oh well, I've had 1000 calories in that meal I might as well blow the rest of the day and start again tomorrow/next week/next month', just put it behind you, don't have recriminations and eat what you'd planned to eat at the next meal.

Get a pedometer and increase the number of steps you do. This is especially effective if you're a sedentary slob, like moi. Just track your normal average activity over a week and then aim to increase the number of steps per day by 1,000 each week until you're upto about 10,000.

Humans were not meant to be as sedentary as we are- try to move around more. Get a fitness ball and sit on that to watch the TV rather than slumping on the sofa (as I tend to do!) it builds up the core muscles again. Go for a walk when you can- not a stroll, you need to be slightly sweaty. Cut back on the highly processed and sugary foods- though don't forget to treat yourself from time to time. Do not just go cold turkey!!
Make little changes rather than one great big one, and build them into your lifestyle. If you lack motivation, find someone to walk/swim/go to the gym/ have a laugh with.

Interestingly, I have just read on one of the MS sites that I visit that a gluten free diet has benefits for people with MS in that a sensitivity to gluten can lead to increased neurological symptoms. Certainly since I have been GF, my MS has been a lot better, so I wonder if there is anything in it.....
