Forget a Body Makeover - you need a Positive Thinking Mind MakeoverDiet myth #3: The goal is to change your body 
The focus has to be a
mind makeover
rather than body makeover because a diet mentality and emotional eating are controlled in your head. And if you don't believe me ask people who've been for: bariatric surgery, mini-gastric bypass surgery or lap-band surgery how difficult it was to handle their 'stress eating'without a mental makeover and the ability to utilize positive thinking. Reputable weight loss surgeons recognize the pyschological difficulties and insist patients see a therapist for at least a year before and after the surgery. The recognize that a mind makeover is a necessity. You can change your body all you want, using whatever weight loss system or weight loss products you like, but unless you have increased your mental fitness, it won't be easy... nor will it be sustainable. That's why fast weight loss schemes because you'll be able to stop dieting easily. And then, if your body needs to, it'll lose weight all naturally as a side effect of living light. A lack of Positive Thinking - What's eating you?Emotional eating is only a symptom of underlying pain. So advertisements for comfort foods or foods that 'take away your hunger for 4 hours' are a farce. We need to honour our hunger not 'take it away.'When I was swallowing diet pills as if they were M&M's - they took away my physical hunger, but they did nothing to take away my heart hunger. They didn't help me deal with the feelings that gnawing away at me, they sure didn't help me with positive thinking about myself or my body. And let's just pretend to live in the Land-of-Make-Believe and say they had been able to remove my emotional hunger too... um... small problem - I'd have to take them forever because I'd have no reason to grow or change. Great for the weight loss industry, but not great for my health or my pocket. Stress eating is just you body trying to get your attention. It's no use dealing with the symptom instead of tackling the underlying cause. This is why you need the Mind over Fatter program because it helps you look at, and deal with, the 'what's eating you' issue. It'll kickstart your mind makeover. Along with The Joy-Filled Body it puts you on the path to personal and spiritual growth and more positive thinking about your life.

I really love the idea of doing some 'head stuff' tweaking instead of dieting. This is a GREAT website, loaded with unusual information.

I LOVE this website. It's really thought-provoking, it's given me ideas about dieting and weight loss that I would never have contemplated. It makes such sense in a world where much about dieting doesn't. Bravo! I also loved your quizzes. I will be a repeat visitor. PS I have signed up for your free Joy-Filled Body Tips.

I am a university-bound teenager from the United States. Two years ago I was diagnosed with anorexia, a battle that eventually found me in the hospital.Dieting has robbed me of too much time. I found this website by chance. I've spent a lot of time browsing through articles and reading stories. It has changed my attitude and made me want to be MY ideal weight, not someone else's. Thank you to all the contributors and readers of Mind over Fatter. I deeply appreciate everything you do.(abridged by Cari)

It's easy in our society today to feel that our value is determined by the number on the scale. I am encouraged to change my mind so I can love myself for who I am not how much I weigh. Thank you so much for your website. It is such an inspiration to me!
Thank you! Rachel, USA
