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?

Do you use your weight as protection against something?

I was 12 lb when I was born and I have struggled with  my weight all my life.  I have even lived on 150 calories for 7 years and did three hours of exercise a day (which I am now paying for with dodgy hips!).  I started to investigate why I couldn't lose weight more deeply and went to visit a therapist who did muscle testing - this means that you ask your body yes or no questions and your body responds as it absolutely knows what it wants. So she asked my body if it wanted to lose weight and it said NO!  I was absolutely gobsmacked - but "I do" I said - but your body/subconscious etc doesn't want to!  So after I recovered from the shock, I realised that I had been using my weight as protection against something because every time I tuned into me being slim and attractive I felt the most tremendous fear and felt sick.

Being overweight means that you are not attractive to the majority of men (I can tell you that!) but that can be an advantage if you don't want the attention or have been abused.  This is what had happened to me.  When I was three I was sexually abused by my babysitters son for three years and had only got out of it by being ill and then my father was posted somewhere else so we moved.  When I was slim for a few years I was very attractive and attracted a lot of attention from men and as I travelled around the world working it became a real problem as you couldn't even walk along a corridor without somebody trying to hit on you. As you can see by the picture that I was pretty stunning - how I loved my hair like that!  So all the fear of the abuse came back and I started to put on weight.  As my body knew I would starve until it came off, it flooded me with excess water which I couldn't do anything about. 

With my clients, I find that this is the no. 1 reason for being overweight and if they lose it they will put it back on immediately.  Abuse of any kind does take a lot of healing but it can be done and self esteem, confidence and respect can be restored.  You may get the attention but it totally goes over your head because the patterns, blocks, trauma and fears have been cleared so your body/subconscious does not register this as a problem any more.

 

There is always a payback for everything - it is caused secondary gain.  You all know of the woman who looks after their mother and moans all the time but when you say you need to back off they don't.  This is because they get attention from other people which they wouldn't get if they stopped doing it. Other reasons that you would use your weight as protection:

 

1. traumas in past lives - you may not believe in past lives but any type of trauma in your ancestors may cause this fear within you

2. low self esteem/worth so your weight stops you from being promoted, getting a new job, going on holiday or many other reasons

3. you don't want to be seen so you make yourself big - I know this sounds the wrong way around but actually people don't pay any attention to overweight people - unless it is to be rude!

4. self hate - you hate yourself for eating and feel disgust so you eat more.  If you loved yourself this wouldn't happen

5. You are carrying heavy burdens/weighted down by your life experience

5. there are so many more reasons that are explained in my book, Unlock your Maximum Weight Loss Potential

 

But the good news is that all of these issues can be healed and you can lose weight and be happy. Buy my book and watch the weight drop off - why not book an appointment with me so we can explore the real reasons of your weight problem

 

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 daily journalling will help your lose weight

please contact me at ann@annparker.co.uk

To track what you are eating, your reactions to foods and your triggers to overeating, it is essential that you keep some form of journal.  This will give you motivation and encourage you to keep going - and to see what external forces are in play and stopping you sticking to your new healthy plan.  Once a week add your weight and your measurements so you can see the loss.  I dont believe in weighing each day as water can add a few pounds and then you will get despondant.  My book is packed full of information like this and so much more!

1. What you eat

Because it is very easy to snack and not know the full amount of what you are eating, it is a good idea to keep a food diary and roughly work out the calories.  So if you go over your limit one day you know to cut back immediately.  If it helps take a photo of what you are eating for each meal - this can really surprise you when you see the quantity!

2. Reactions to food

This means that you can immediately see if you have a reaction to a food/drink type - especially something filling you with water, bloating or actually putting on weight - and you can then eliminate it from your diet.  It also helps to see if combination of different foods cause a problem.  Bread and cheese may be ok but when you combine them into a sandwich they cause you problems

3. Hormones

This also helps track your cycle so you can see if you add any exta water or want to eat more at certain times - or crave certain foods.  Once again when you know this you can use EFT to help with the symptoms and the cravings

4. Emotions

If you write down how you feel every day it is much clearer how stressed you are and why you may overeat for comfort or emotionally.  This could be connected to your cycle or something completely different.  Once you have identified the triggers you can then use other techniques to release them and not use food

5. Exercise

Write down all exercise so you can see if you need to change what you do or increase.  Also track why you dont why to exercise on particular days

6. So you can see how far you have come

Using a journal is good for seeing how far you have come because it is very easy to forget.  You will see that you have tamed your emotions, lost weight and toned up and this will keep you firm to keep going!

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.

Why you should have a multi faceted approach to weight loss

please contact me on ann@annparker.co.uk

I believe that you should use as many techniques as possible to lose weight and not to pay anything for them!  There is so much going on from beliefs, trauma, protection, cravings, perhaps past lives and ancestral issues that you will need to use everything at your disposal to eliminate these and program with the positive.

1.  Hypnosis cd - there are so many out there and I would suggest you make full use of them.  Why not program your mind while you are asleep (you have it on very very low as your subconscious will pick it up anyway).  I like the gastric band ones as well as emotional eating so use a couple.  I recommend Paul McKenna but there are loads free on youtube so see which ones you fancy and like.  I have listened to a couple I didnt like so I didnt continue

2. Subliminal software - you can download a free program which you configure for weight loss, confidence etc on your laptop/desktop so as you work you are being automatically reprogrammed - these are brilliant

3. Accupressure diagram - I have printed out a hand print of accupressure points (easier than the feet!) so I can stimulate the thyroid, endocrine system and lymphatic system which will help with weight and water loss

4. Essential oils - in my book I list the oils you need to use to decrease appetite, boost weight loss and confidence.  Buy the best you can as you will only need a couple of drops.  Follow the instructions in my book

5. Spells - there are a couple of spells in my book but there are plenty on the net - they are great fun and do work but you do need to keep doing them!

6. Crystals - I have already mentioned crystals but use they every days as per my previous instructions

Program a crystal to help you lose and maintain your weight!

Please contact me ann@annparker.co.uk

If you read the 'oggie googie' mags you will see that they tell you to buy a crystal for this and then another one for that - I have done this over the years and now have hundreds of crystals, most of which I dont know what they are or what they are for!

In my book, Unlock Your Maximum Weight Loss Potential, I have an entire chapter on crystals and how they can help with appetite, weight loss, water retention and many other things.  However, today I just want to talk about how to buy one crystal and program it for everything that you need! How much cheaper and more productive is that!!

So either look at the crystals that you have or go into a specialist shop and stare at the crystals.  Is there one that is jumping out at you?  If you want to make, sure run your hand over them and see if one is hot or cold or attracts you in another way.  If one doesnt show itself, pick the one that you like the most, whatever the colour or size.  It is better to be reasonably small because I want you to carry it around with you so I dont want to weigh you down!  It is a good idea to write down the programming statements before you start as you want to cover all aspects from overeating to protection to health issues etc.  Break them down into as small portions as possible.

Instructions for programming:

Wash the crystal in luke warm water (if it is very delicate like a pearl you need to look up cleansing instructions on line) - this releases all negative energy from other owners or people who have handled it.
If you can put it in direct sunlight or moonlight for a few hours - this will really charge it up and energise it - if not it doesnt matter
Hold it in both hands and thank it for showing itself to you and then hold it to your heart.  Ask that in the future that is becomes self cleansing so if it picks up negativity it is immediately released
Now say something like, "I would like to program you to help me with the following"

supressing my appetite
releasing everything that is causing my excess weight
releasing everything that is causing my excess water
releasing everything that is stopping me being slim
releasing everything that is making me comfort/overeat and stopping me sticking to my diet
and anything else that you have written down
releasing all the trauma that has made me protection myself with fat
keep me motivated in my goals
keep me at my target weight
help me love myself whatever weight I am

Ask the crystal where it would like to be kept and see what answer you get.  If you dont get an answer then try to keep it down your bra or in a pocket.

You can program later on when your statements change and you may be shown that you need a new crystal.  For example you may need a crystal for helping your thyroid and metabolism and one to keep you on the straight and narrow.  This is soooooooooooo easy to do but so powerful!
