Ready to get off the diet roller coaster for good? Need help creating new habits for weight maintenance? If so, it might be time to Donate Your Weight.
Donate Your Weight is a program designed specifically for people who are sick of struggling with weight and eating. It’s designed to help you create new habits and live free from yo-yo dieting and food obsession.
The philosophy behind Donate Your Weight is a cross between the behavior modification technique of rewarding desired behaviors and also something I’ll call the ‘Marathon Phenomenon’.
Millions of people have spent inordinate amounts of time training for marathons and raising money for those in need. They are often motivated by either getting in shape, raising funds, or both. The problem is, marathons are generally not healthy for the body long-term and certainly you don’t run marathons once a week or once a month. For most people. once it’s over, it’s over.
With the Donate Your Weight program, you can train your mind and body daily, you can use the money from your reward jar to help those in need and most importantly, as you are doing the strategies and paying yourself real money, you are in the process of creating new habits that are the foundation for life-long weight maintenance.
The name Donate Your Weight has multiple meanings. The program is based on Seven Stress-Free Slimming Strategies that allow you to create a lifestyle of weight maintenance. To help people stay motivated and on track with the Strategies, the program includes a Success Check-list and instructions on how to use a reward bank to you pay yourself real money for successfully achieveing the Strategies. Then, you can use that real money to buy something fun and rewarding for yourself or you can donate it to a good cause.
The word Donate is also more positive and long term than the word ‘Lose’. Nobody likes to lose anything and when we do lose something, we usually try to find it. Being lost or being a loser is never a positive, empowering feeling and we almost never congratulate someone for losing (except when it comes to weight).
An important component of the Donate Your Weight program is to change your negative, limiting mindsets about your body and your ability to succeed. The word donate is associated with letting go of something in a positive way. When you donate something, you do so by choice and you never expect to get it back.
