Why everybody should use EFT

please reply to ann@annparker.co.uk

When everything started to go wrong I suspected that I was self sabotaging myself, but over 25 years ago nobody seemed to understand what I was talking about. I then came across the forerunner to EFT called TFT and this really opened my eyes as it talked about self sabotage all the time.  The only problem was that every issue used a different routine so it was more complicated to do and remember.  Then EFT (emotional freedom technique) came along and made things really easy and effective.  I learnt the long version (which I will demonstrate later on in the week) and I still go back to this if a problem doesn't shift or it comes back.

You can use EFT on everything and I mean everything!  From weight loss to stress, to passing exams to confidence and self esteem, to pain and healing, to anxiety and depression, to health and PTSD.  You can use it surrogately on children and animals and it is a good idea to teach your children the quick routine so they can use it if they are being bullied or have exam stress.

You can use it with the law of attraction and create money, jobs and your soul mate - the list in endless. You can even use it to heal past lives and release your karma!  Why not contact me and book a course or have a 1:1 session - you will benefit from it for the rest of your life!

Sorry the video is not brilliant quality but is informative!

Hi everybody

This is my video about my weight loss book, Unlock your Maximum Weight Loss Potential, which is available on Amazon.  It is also being featured in this month's Soul and Spirit.

It is not like anything else on the market and comes from over 25 years of experience, research and results.  I still have a couple of stone to go but am working on why I want to hold onto it.

The video isn't brilliant, sorry, but it explains how passionate I am about helping people with weight loss, especially children.  It isn't for somebody that just wants to lose 7 lb and needs to cut down but for someone who struggles - like I have for near 65 years!

It covers all subjects from:

healthy eating to nutrition to supplements to exercise
It has a whole large chapter on all the reasons you cant lose weight and why it isn't your fault!
appetite suppressants to medication to organ disfunction
beliefs, blocks, fears patters and programming
ancestors, karma and past lives
body types and stress
homeopathy, herbs, bach flower remedies and other therapies
how to ask your guides and angels to help you
I teach various techniques like EFT to speed up your metabolism and eliminate stress

Is it worth putting on 10 lb over Christmas?

please contact me on ann@annparker.co.uk

So people seem to throw caution to the wind and eat what they like from November!  When I had a beauty/toning table salon I couldnt believe that people left mid November and didnt come back until end of January - I thought people would be exercising up until Christmas and then immediately getting back to it afterwards but how wrong could I be!

What with all the party food, mince pies, drink, chocolate and nuts, Christmas Parties and then eating and drinking for a least 4 days over Christmas the weight (and water retention) can pile on.  I know if I did this I would put on at least 14 lb (a UK stone) which would then take me a good three months to get off - and is it worth it?  Certainly not to me!

Also it means that it will increase your stomach size and your appetite which means it will be harder to get it under control when you go back to dieting.  And it means you will eat more over the Christmas period!

If you are eating like this it also means that you havent got to the bottom of your eating problems.  Do you think it gives you a licence to eat?  Do you feel deprived if you dont eat what other people are eating? Do you have cravings or are you emotionally eating over this period because of spending time with families, or grief or another reason?

I knew somebody who had lost a lot of weight and went on a cruise where she preceded to eat everything every day, including afternoon tea.  This shows that she hasnt healed her problems and it took her over 4 months to get the weight off from one weeks eating!  I am not saying that she couldnt have one afternoon tea, but why every day?

So you need to understand why you suddenly drop the exercise and healthy eating routine that you have worked hard on all year?  Clear what comes up using Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT or tapping).

If you are going to over do it, cut down the day before and the day after because excess calories store as water for 48 hours so you could lose it before it turns to fat.  This also means that your stomach wont stretch.

Go back to healthy eating the day after Boxing Day (26th in the UK) and throw out or freeze anything that might tempt you - dont let that old excuse of having to eat all the left overs up!

Watch the alcohol as this will put on excess water and make you eat!

Drink a glass of water reasonably slowly 30 minutes before a meal which will fill you up

Ask for treats rather than food for presents - vouchers for treatments, body lotions for pampering, manicures etc

Put a little bit of everything on your plate and always leave something - you dont have to eat everything!

If you are going to a party eat before you go so you are not tempted to pick on sausage rolls!

Remember with peanuts that people may not have washed their hands so this should stop you digging in!  And that they may have sneezed all over the party food!

If you feel you are going to eat more, then do some tapping before you eat.  Change your beliefs from I need to eat as it is Christmas to I eat to satisfy me and I stop when I am full

Set yourself a target that you will actually lose weight over Christmas rather than put it on and buy yourself something nice in the sales to wear!

Imagine how great you will feel on January 1st being able to get into your clothes easily and with a clear, sparkling complexion!  This is so much more important than food which you will have totally forgotten by now!

Is your underactive thyroid causing your weight problem?

please contact me on ann@annparker.co.uk

Do you know what your thyroid is?  It is a butterfly shaped gland situated in the front of your neck and forms part of your throat chakra.  It is usually associated with not being able to speak up for yourself or speak your truth - sound familiar?!

The thyroid basically controls most of your hormone functions including your metabolism.  As the estimate now for being underactive is 1 in 5 (especially women) it is not suprising that there is an obesity problem.  In the UK the tests are inadequate and can say you are normal when you are not (this has happened to me).  That is if the doctor evens picks it up because most always associate being overweight with overeating.  Then the medication doesnt help - it may help some but it wont help with weight loss.  So you continually put on weight and then cant lose it, despite dieting or starving - also the thyroid will fill you with excess water that you cant lose either.

You need to tune into your thyroid and see what is there.  What shape, colour, size, texture and if there are memories, trauma or past life information that needs clearing - then use the techniques in my book to release and replace with self love and confidence.  People who have been physically, mentally, emotionally or sexually abuse can have an underactive thyroid.  If you are looking at past lives it can be because you were hanged, or other injuries to the throat.

Homeopathy is brilliant for thyroid and so is spirulina.  You need to make sure that you are getting the correct vitamins and minerals. Again my book lists everything including what crystals to use to heal your thyroid and speed up your metabolism.

Why not buy my book and use it as your bible to help heal your body and your weight?

Boosting your metabolism using EFT

please contact me at ann@annparker.co.uk

To lose weight and keep it off you really need a good metabolism.  If you have an underactive thyroid, or are older + a variety of other reasons, your metabolism may be slow and it won't burn off the calories and that equals weight gain - that stays firmly put!  The best way I find to boost your metabolism is by using Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT for short).  To begin with you will need to do every day but after a couple of months I would suggest once a week for maintenance.  EFT is really easy and there are full instructions in my book, Unlock your maximum weight loss potential, so I am not going to list the tapping points in this blog.

How to begin:

1. I would suggest that you sit quietly, close your eyes and ask your soul out of 100% what your metabolism is working at and go with the first number that comes up.  If you dont get an answer, guess what you think it might be.  Dont go for 100% to begin with, start with 5% above what you are getting and then build up.  Ask your soul what may be the reasons and include them in your tapping statements.  Again if you get nothing try and guess what they might be or just say metabolism and see what comes up.

2. Using the set up phrase say these three phrases:

"Even thought my metabolism is only working at 80%, I deeply and utterly love and accept myself and my metabolism"

"Even though my metabolism STILL only works at 80%, I deeply and utterly love and accept myself and my metabolism"

"Even though my metabolism STILL only works at 80%, I now CHOOSE that it works at 85% permanently and I am eliminating all the reasons why it is not working efficiently"

3. Using the tapping points you can use the following phrases:

a. I release all the trauma as to why my metabolism doesnt work properly
b. I release all of my stuck emotions etc
c. I release my need for my metabolism to work slowly
d. I release the need for protection which is keeping my weight high
e. I release all my patterns, blocks, fears etc

Do at least three rounds per session and ask every day if the percentage has gone up.  Once it has gone up you can then change it to increase by another 5%.  This is brilliant and everybody should use EFT - I would also combine it with other weight loss issues like overeating or comfort eating.

Why you should eat 5 veg and fruit not 5 fruit and veg!

please contact me at ann@annparker.co.uk

You always hear people say "I eat my 5 fruit and veg" but most of it is fruit.  Fruit is good for you but it is high in sugar, calories and doesnt have as many vitamins or minerals as veg.

Also 5 was a figure conjured up and is not even scienfically proven so you need to eat as much salad and veg as you can!  Although veg does have calories they are very low. Try to add veg to everything you consume......

Did you know that fruit can be 100 calories a piece - so if you have three pieces a day that is 300 calories (brilliant arent I!) where as three veg would be nearer 7! So when buying fruit buy smaller pieces so you get the vitamins but not the calories and you wont feel the different between a large banana and a small one!  So eat a maximum of two pieces of fruit a day and vary your choices during the week.

Also eat the fruit dont juice it - do you know that juicing loses the fibre and a lot of the goodness.  Also it can cause acid on the teeth and spike your blood sugar sending your insulin mad and you on a pathway to diabetes II or syndrome X (which is the precursor) - I do find that if I eat fruit in the morning I am starving, whereas if I have an egg I am full until lunch or beyond.  Everybody is different so you need to be aware of what you are eating and what affect it is having on your body.  This is why people started to put on weight with juices because of the calories of the fruit,nuts and coconut milk!

There is so much information like this in my book Unlock Your Maximum Weight Loss Potential to help you lose and maintain your weight loss.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
 
United Kingdom – Having lost 5 stone and kept it off for two years, Ann Parker knows that triumphing over weight issues isn’t as simple as flicking a switch. In fact, Parker fully sympathises with and relates to the 90% of dieters who reverse their weight loss, seemingly as easy as just looking at food.

These personal experiences, along with her professional training as an NLP and EFT therapist, inspired Parker to release her own weight loss self-help book unlike anything else on the shelves.

There’s no hype and just results, in ‘Unlock Your Maximum Weight Loss Potential: You Are Never Overweight for the Reason You Think You Are! Find Out How to Identify the Real Reasons You Can't Lose Weight and Be Slim for Life!’.

 Synopsis:

Do you struggle with your weight? Have you spent a fortune on diets and shakes?
Has anything worked long term for your weight?
Have you lost a lot of weight only to put it back on again?

Do you put on weight just by looking at food?
Are you an emotional eater?
Do you sabotage your weight?

This amazing book, which is packed full of information, techniques and help so that you can become your own therapist and you can then take control of your weight FOR LIFE and feel amazing!

Why is my book different from other weight loss books?
 
Most other weight loss books (and I have read so many!) usually concentrate on a couple of issues – eating a specific diet, doing a particular type of exercise or breathing technique. But if you have a weight problem it is so much more complicated than that. Some people can go on a diet and lose weight – some people struggle all their lives and these are the people that my book is aimed at – and there are thousands of these people.

My book covers all the mainstream weight loss information like eating, exercise, setting goals, dealing with stress and health and nutrition – after all you need to be in tip top condition in mind, body and soul!

“I wanted to create something for those who have exhausted all of the other weight loss books out there, but still aren’t seeing results,” explains the author. “We help readers trace their lives back as far as they can to try and discover the real reasons they’re struggling with their weight, and then turn them into actionable steps that will help people become thin, healthy and keep the weight off for life.”

Continuing, “This holistic approach is so much more successful than telling someone to simply “not eat this” or “run on that treadmill for 30 minutes a day”. It requires a complete lifestyle and mindset shift that, when committed to, really is easy and yields results beyond belief.”

With the volume’s demand increasing, interested readers are urged to secure their copies without delay.

 About the author, in her own words:

I worked as a senior manager in the business arena for over 30 years. I was particularly experienced in training, giving seminars and managing people all over the world.  I have been a Project Manager, Product Manager, Business Analyst and European Training manager.  I have a wealth of experience in computer systems and IT, call centre systems, satellite TV and telecoms.  All of this experience has given me great insight into how the human mind works and how to motivate people!
Feeling dissatisfied with the general work ethic, I started to train in Psychology, Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) and other amazing therapies and techniques. I found I could then clear negative patterns, blocks and beliefs for myself and the people I worked with.  This enabled them to move forward quickly in both their personal and work life.  Helping people unlock their maximum potential became such a fascination that I decided to include health issues, so I then trained to be a homeopath and nutritionalist.  Stress is one of the main problems that faces us today so I have developed special courses to transform your life to be stress free.

I have a successful and thriving business helping to counsel and coach clients by psychically identifying blocks, patterns, trauma and memories that have held the client back.  I then decided to add other more ‘esoteric techniques’ to heal karma and past life memories which I found were essential for full healing.  I have written 3 amazing self help guides - I have read so many personal development books in my life but they all seemed to concentrate on one area whereas mine encompass everything you need to heal and succeed.
 
I am also a member of the Post Major Incident Therapists Network Facebook Group which was started after the Manchester bombings and is available free of charge to anybody who has suffered trauma.

Are you an emotional eater?

please contact me on ann@ann.parker.co.uk

Do you overeat and you dont know why?  Do you eat when you are bored or upset?  It is so common as food can mean love and comfort.  If your mother was a feeder you will equate food to love. If you had a terrible childhood but always ate together and it was ok you will try and relive this.  If you got sweets as a treat as a child when you need treating or comforting you will turn to any food.  This is why will power doesnt work!

You may not be able to heal or talk about your traumas or emotions so you will use food to stuff down your emotions.  If when you were ill your mother gave you attention and food (especially if she took no notice of you the rest of the time) you will use food to give yourself attention and love - or you may make yourself ill because you think you will get attention - this one doesnt work at all which I can confirm as I have tried it!

Some people chose alcohol, drugs, self harm or food and it is up to your subconscious and your childhood programming to which one you turn to.  Then you beat yourself up because you have just eaten again, having promised yourself that you will stick to your diet or healthy eating plan.  You will most probably have a very low self esteem, have no confidence, value or respect in yourself which then diminishes every time you cheat.  This is all really common but the good news is that it can be fixed - not overnight but it can be with work, journalling and planning.

You need to identify what it is (there may be many) triggers of your emotional eating.  Write them down and see who else was involved and what age you were and what messages you got.  The first step is to identify and that is why it is good to journal so you can see on a daily basis what stresses cause you to reach for food.  The technique for this is Emotional Freedom Technique and you start to tap on all your issues and then you will see that your dependance on food will start to disappear - and you will start to feel better about yourself and that helps as well.  You can try self hypnosis and I would buy a crystal that you love (doesnt matter what type), wash it and then program it with what you would like it to help you with - emotions, eating healthily, conscious eating etc - and they carry it around with you - a good place is in the bra.

In my great book, Unlock your Maximum Weight Loss Potential, I outline how to heal this and your traumas and then you can watch the weight drop off!  It is so exciting!

How intolerances can stop you losing weight

please contact me on ann@annparker.co.uk

One of the most important chapters in my book, Unlock your Maximum Weight Loss Potential, is the one on allergies and intolerances.  We are all familiar with the these causing swelling or breathing problems but nobody seems to have talked about other problems such as weight gain, water retention - and then not being able to lose the weight/water once it is on.

I once was at an exhibition and a young, very slim girl, was telling me that she had an underactive thyroid - as she was so slim I really wasnt taking much notice!!  She then said that it turned out to be a gluten intolerance and that it gave her the symptoms of an underactive thryoid.  I had never heard this before but it does make a lot of sense because although thyroid tests are very inaccurate it would explain why some tests come back OK when the person is suffering with weight gain and all the other symptoms.  Gluten intolerance is very common but you can also still be intolerant to wheat and yeast - I have a terrible intolerance to yeast and swell up like a ballon when I eat marmite - which is unfortunate because I love it!

Other intolerances can cause water retention and swelling and this water is virtually impossible to release until you stop eating this product and eventually it will come off.  Also intolerances can affect your endocrine system which will also cause weight gain and/or water retention.

In my book I teach you various methods to test for yes and no answers (called muscle testing or dowsing with a pendulum) so you could use this method to test which foods are not good for you - you could also ask what foods add weight even though you are not intolerant to them.  Or you could get an intolerance test done - there are normally offers available on groupon so I would suggest you use one of those and go for a large spectrum.

It is normally suggested that you stop eating the food for approximately 3 months and then introduce and journal what your reactions are.  Usually with an allergy or intolerance there was an emotional trigger so you can use Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) to eliminate this and then the intolerance will normally disappear.  I would highly recommend this.

Please be also aware that you may be ok with food but when it is combined you will become intolerant - so you are ok with cheese and bread but together they cause you a problem - this is why journally every day is so good

Why you need to use low calorie products despite what people say!

please contact me on ann@annparker.co.uk

In my new book Unlock Your Maximum Weight Loss Potential, I talk about using low calorie products such as Frylight.  When you have a weight problem, despite what the so called experts say, you cant cook in oil, have full fat lattes or mayo - it is just not possible!  I read an article the other day which said that it was best to have a full fat latte to keep you fuller longer - but you dont have a latte to keep you full but for fun!  The difference in calories is staggering!  Also the difference between full fat and low fat mayo is nearly 100 calories so why would you use that!

In all honesty if you are on 1000 calories a day who can afford to eat half an advocado?  or a handful of nuts because the calories are too much.  you need to look for other alternatives.  Have a slice of advocado and a couple of nuts and know exactly how many calories you are eating.  If you feel you need extra fat, take a good supplement.  There is a lot of talk about needing more fat but if you are eating a variety of protein you should be getting all you need.  Again the calories of full fat cheese versus low fat is horrendous. 

When cooking soups, currys and stews I only use a few squirts of fry light and the taste is great - and it is not greasy.  I use low fat salad cream and mayo and would never use an olive oil dressing for obvious reasons.  The experts that are recommending full fat are not struggling with their weight.

I saw an article this morning where this lady in Australia lost a couple of stone eating 3,000 calories.  But she was of a slim build and didnt have a weight problem that was a battle.  I have tried eating more calories over my 63 years and I put on weight as expected - so it works for some people and not others.  Also remember you have to cut your calories by 10% at every decade so what worked when you were 30 will not work when you are 60 - unless you have a fast metabolism!

Please be careful when you go out for a meal not to hit the bread and butter/oil before you start.  And be aware what is in the sauces you are having.  Writing everything down that you eat or taking a photo puts it into perspective and it makes you realise how much you are snacking!  Remember even fruit is approx 80 calories a piece so that can add up as well.

THE BEST WEIGHT LOSS BOOK ON THE MARKET!

please contact me at ann@annparker.co.uk

I am delighted to announce that my second book in my Unlock series is now released and it is called UNLOCK YOUR MAXIMUM WEIGHT LOSS POTENTIAL - and it is the best weight loss book on the market!  Even if I say so myself!

Most weight loss books, and I have read most of them!, concentrate on a single diet plan or walking or a hormone - but we ARE ALL DIFFERENT - and what works for one doesn't work for all - especially if you have a serious weight problem.  Some people just need to cut their calories but this book is aimed at people who struggle and can't keep the weight off.
 
I was 12 lb when I was born and have struggled with my weight all my life.  I had a toning table/beauty salon and met thousands of women who struggled with their weight as well.  People will always tell you to do more exercise or diet which is so patronising especially when they are chomping away on something very fattening or quoffing large glasses of wine!
 
This book is packed full of information, techniques, research, and so many other subjects including beliefs and low self esteem and worth.  Some people do over eat because of this but a lot don't (including myself!) - but I also know a lot of slim/medium size people that eat a lot.
 
Over the next few months I will be blogging chapters from the book explaning what a complicated process weight loss is but how you will feel lighter in your body, mind and soul when you have healed all the issues.
 
There is nothing like this on the market and I need to get the word out there to help as many people as I possibly can to lose the weight and keep it off for life.  Please share to everybody you know!

Do you really need to know how many calories you are eating?

Please contact me on ann@annparker.co.uk for a session or more information

This is an excerpt from my book on calories and how they affect your life - and believe me they really do!  Unlock your maximum potential is now available on Amazon in kindle or paperback form


 
I hear so many times that as long as you eat so called 'healthy food' you don't need to know how many calories you are eating.  In my opinion this is totally untrue.  If you have a weight problem and suddenly introduce a handful of nuts or half an avocado a day you will put on weight - there is no doubt about this!  If you have 5 fruits a day rather than 5 veg you can start off with a calorie count of nearly 500 calories which are full of sugar - however natural it might be.  Whereas if you had 5 veg it would be nearer a 100.  If you have a healthy salad it may have 200 calories of dressing - well oil is ok for you but not in that quantity!!!
 
Very often healthy food is high in calories and some people are saying that the body burns these off differently but in my research it doesn't.  Most people who have more than 2 stone to lose need less than 1200 calories a day.  You can, in fact, lose weight with McDonald's if your food intake in less tha 1200 calories and this has been proved by various bloggers.
 
If you look at the prepared diets such as Weight Watchers, Slimming World, 5:2 etc you will see that although you dont need to calorie count when you look at the points etc you can see that they have been calorie counted for you.  Where on Weight Watchers can you have a whole avocado or handfuls of nuts?!  If you are cutting out bread and butter, as you would on the 5:2, your calories automatically decrease.
 
I think it is a good idea to eat a different amount of calories each day so your body doesn't get used to just eating a set amount.  I find a journal where you write down what you eat (approximately don't stress) and tot up the calories etc so that gives you an idea where you can make adjustments.
 
I find that if I want to eat something (like scampi and chips) I will eat and enjoy it but cut down the day before and the day after.  AFter all this is an eating plan for life and it has to fit in with your schedule and life style.  Planning is also good so you will always have something healthy to eat or whip something out of the freezer.
 
I never fry onions or veg for a soup or a stew and this cuts the calories down immediately. Always have a skinny lattee or salad dressings.
 
Dont eat three meals a day and snack because that is what the experts tell you to do.  If you aren't hungry don't eat - perhaps two meals are OK for you.  I find that when clients have snacks they are thinking about food all the time which means they want to snack more.
 
If you learn how to muscle test (instructions in my book) you can test what food is good for you to eat and what is not.  You can also test how many times a day you should eat and what you need for maximum nutrition.

Have you ever asked your body what it actually wants??!!


Have you ever asked your body elemental what it actually wants? By Ann Parker

I have had a weight problem all my life and I have been on every diet going, starved myself for 7 years, cut out total food groups and done three hours exercise a day!  So my personality/ego/conscious brain thought they were doing the right thing for me but not once did I ask my body what it wanted or needed.  What I have been shown over the last six months is that you need to be in tune with your body elemental as it absolutely knows what is best for you.  Your body elemental is a ‘spiritual’ part of your body (similar to your higher self) that absolutely knows 100% what is best for you and your body.  So it knows what you should eat, what supplements you should take and what exercise you should do.

The best way to get in touch with this part of you is to go into deep meditation and ask for it to come forward.  Talk to it like you would talk to your best friend.  Ask it what its name is and really get to know it.  Thank it for trying to help you and say that you are sorry that you may not have been listening!!

If we don’t listen to our body elemental we could become ill – a lot of people have stress that is now affecting their adrenals – but you most probably have been given signs that you are on the verge of burnout but you have ignored them.  I know this because I worked for 14 hours a day for 25 years with a severely underactive thyroid and then got to the state of adrenal collapse. I couldn’t stop ‘doing’ and felt guilty if I sat down and did nothing – sound familiar?  I know somebody whose body elemental was trying to get him to slow down and when he didn’t listen he had three accidents – he thought he was unlucky but I knew his body elemental would make him rest in the end and it did by breaking his leg!

If you dowse with a pendulum or use muscle testing to ask questions, I would still suggest that you phrase your questions like this “Can I ask my body elemental if it wants to do hot yoga?”. So you are still being very particular and narrowing down the response.  So these are just a few examples of questions:

Can I ask my body elemental:

1.     Do you want me to take a multi vitamin

2.     Does it have everything in it I need

3.     Do I need to take it every day

4.     If so for how long

5.     If I don’t need to take it every day how often do I take it and for how long

 

1.     Do you want me to cut out wheat/diary/whole food groups

2.     If so for how long

3.     If not what can I continue to eat

4.     Should I eat it with other things such as protein, bread, pasta etc

 

1.     Do you want me to go on this detox/juice diet

2.     If so what would you like me to have in the juice

3.     How long would you like me to do it for

4.     If not what would you like me to do instead

 

1.     Do you want me exercise now

2.     If yes what would you like me to do and for how long

3.     If no why not and when can I exercise in the future

4.     Am I doing the right exercise for me

 
Recently I discovered the benefits of Kefir and was very excited and I asked if it was OK for me to take it and I got absolutely!  However, I didn’t ask how often and for how long – big mistake!  I was OK for a couple of days and expected to feel really good and then I was really ill – and disappointed!  When I asked how often a week I was supposed to take it my body elemental said twice and that I had also been taking too much at one go – so I didn’t get anything right then did I!  If you take supplements or herbs don’t assume that you should take them every day.  In fact, don’t assume anything!  Ask if your body elemental wants the biscuit in your hand, or the glass of wine or cake you are about to consume!  If it says NO but you really want it explain to your body elemental that you would really like it but that you will be healthy from then on!

How do past lives affect your weight?

If you have a weight problem and have trouble losing it or keeping it off, you may be affected by past lives.  What tripe I hear you say!  But it is true and I can vouch for it because it has affected me!  I was 12 lb when I was born and have been on a diet ever since doing at least 1 hours exercise a day and sometimes three.  People would always say to me, "If you did another hour that would work" or "You dont eat enough" or "You must eat too much"!  People who dont have a weight problem dont understand!  When I got out and drink water and have a starter for a main course I am surrounded by people eating three courses with alcohol (over 3,000 calories) so they assume I must eat this plus!  I have had people come up to me in the streets and tell me to eat more fruit and veg (I am a veggie!) or tell me to do more exercise!  Actually I think this is insulting as I wouldnt dream of going up to somebody and saying you are ugly!

So when I started down a spiritual path I started to look at past lives and I was amazed how they are affecting our lives now from health, weight, through to money and success.  So I started to look at the past lives that had caused me problems:

1. I had died many times from malnutrition
2. I had died many times from thirst
3. In Africa centuries ago if you were large it showed you were wealthy
4. I had had past lives in the South Pacific where the body structure is larger
5. I had had many poor lives of lack and this now equates to weight gain in this life (money and weight are connected)
6. I had been raped etc and the weight was for protection
7. I had had jobs where I had to be large (fat lady in a circus, sumo wrestler) so if I lost weight I would have lost my job
8. The weight in this life was punishment for me laughing at overweight people in different lives
9. The weight was punishment for me because of the negative things I had done in past lives

This is to name but just a few.  When I have clients with a weight problem one of the first areas I clear is past lives otherwise the weight will not come off as the subconscious will hold onto it for grim death!  Why not contact me on ann@annparker.co.uk to find out what past lives are causing your weight problems and remove them.

Why do people eat so much at Christmas?

This is is a subject very close to my heart as I have been on a diet all my life, having been 12lb at birthday which in 1955 was very heavy!!  As I have an underactive thyroid with water retention I know that if I eat more than I usually do, the weight piles on!!  So at Christmas I have to plan, watch what I eat and cut down before and afterwards.  Luckily, as a veggie I dont have the fattening meat products and I dont like chocolate!

So why do people ruin their diets/health by eating 5,000 calories a day for three weeks and put on weight that it takes them to Easter to get off!!  Surely it is more important to have a few treats but still to eat healthily than put on 10 lbs that is a struggle to get off!  Alcohol packs on the weight, lowers your resistance and makes you hungry so this adds to the problem.

I enjoy Christmas just as much as everybody else and I eat what I want, but I plan and count my calories.  The problem is that the press/doctors say you dont have to count calories any more but that is not true - you need to know what you are eating - and if they are not important why do doctors have a daily recommendation!!!

How can Karma possibly make you fat!

January 2015

The first part of how karma can affect your weight

How does Karma affect your weight?
I have been on a diet since I was born - I was 12 lb even then which for 1955 was very heavy!  What ever happened the weight never came off.  My mother was obsessed and had me on a diet and exercise plan at the age of 3!

I even spent 7 years on 150 calories a day, water tablets and slimming pills - and I wont tell you what else I did, to try and lose weight.  Most people would have died through malnutrition but I was still slowly putting on weight!

So why I started on my spiritual journey it absolutely made sense that I was paying back negative karma as being overweight made me very  unhappy.  I had chosen to be overweight as I felt that I needed to suffer and punish myself for what I had done (or perceived I had done) in past lives. I was also carrying "the heavy burdens of karma".  This explained why everything I did didnt work.  So I had to work very hard at forgiving myself and releasing the need to suffer and punish.  I can help you do this as I have so much experience now.

There will more on this subject later this week on how dying of starvation or thirst in past lives affects your weight more.  Also how other past lives affect your weight now

The reason you cant lose weight is because you have a slow metabolism

please contact me on info@unleashyourfullpotential.co.uk

I am so fed up with people saying slim people never overeat, emotionally eat or sit and watch the television.  Most of the slim people (or ordinary or slightly overweight people) drink alcohol on a regular basis, eat pizza and go out to eat at least once a week - and buy bars of chocolate and cake - somebody must be buying them!  My friend cut out drinking for 4 nights a week and lost two stone over 3 months - I dont even drink!

One of the reasons that you cant lose weight is because your metabolism is slow.  You could be born with a slow metabolism (like me) or something could have happened to make it slow down (like a shock, childbirth or an allergy). It could be genetic, your body type or constitutional homeopathy type. It could be a life plan to affect your weight and it could even be a past life!  When I gave up smoking I never lost weight again - this is due to the fact that smoking boosts your metabolism by at least 200 calories a day so even though I was careful and didnt substitute the weight started to creep on.  The metabolism is partly controlled by the thyroid glad but I feel it comes more from the hypothalumus (the boss of the endocrine system!) and doctors dont even recognise this or have anything to boost it up!  If you have a slow metabolism you will never lose weight or keep it off.  Remember every 10 years your metabolism slows down even further!

When I tell people I lived on 150 calories for 7 years they say no wonder your metabolism is shot - but I did that because my metabolism was shot before!  So I know I made it worse but I was desperate!  People say eat more food and especially protein but this doesnt work if you have a serious weight problem.  People say eat more of a certain type of food but this doesnt work long term or permanently.  The best way to increase your metabolism is to find out what homeopathy and herbs are best for you as they will address it permantly for ever.  Another good technique to use is Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) as you can tap on your metabolism every day and increase it slowly.

Why not book an appointment with me to find out why your metabolism might not be working properly.
