#20 - Christmas thought errors

  In this episode I talk to you about Christmas thought errors.   What if I told you the reason that you, me or the average woman gains weight over Christmas has little to do with the parties and celebrations and the special Christmas foods available, and far more to do with a person’s thoughts, mindset and beliefs about Christmas.   Your thoughts about Christmas parties and celebrations, Christmas food, family members and friends you see at Christmas and the perspective you have on your life throughout the rest of the year are the cause of your Christmas overeating and weight gain, and not the food nor the occasion.   Logically you know that already, because of course everyone has the same opportunity to overeat and indulge at Christmas time and yet not everyone does.   So today I focus on exploring the thoughts that create the feelings, that fuel the action of you eating things that are not aligned with your weight goals, that are not aligned with you being the person who doesn’t overeat at Christmas.   Before you can become the person who has the relationship with Christmas food that you want, you first need to be aware of the details of your current festive food relationship.   About Clair:     CLAIR MACKENZIE IS A LIFE & WEIGHT COACH WHO HELPS FEMALE PROFESSIONALS AND ENTREPRENEURS LOSE WEIGHT BY TRANSFORMING THEIR RELATIONSHIP WITH FOOD AND THEMSELVES FOR LIFE     Clair’s uses an array of coaching tools and techniques to help women, who are done with dieting, take control of their eating whilst increasing their self-belief and self-worth.     “There is nothing more rewarding than helping someone overcome their detrimental relationship with food so that they can thrive in optimal physical and mental wellbeing.”     After overcoming decades of struggling with her own weight and losing 6 stone Clair used her experience and coaching qualifications to create her two programmes; ‘Lose Weight.
