Statistics report that obesity is still on the rise and that as a nation, Britain's women are the fattest in Europe. We have, at our fingertips, more information about weight and how to lose it, than we have ever had before, yet the figures still rise as men, women and children continue to struggle with the battle of the bulge. Something is clearly very wrong and I'm sure that a variety of experts all have a valid opinion as to why this is the case. But we need a solution.

It came to my attention last week, whilst on a training course with thoroughly nice people, that even though we were of all age groups and from varied backgrounds, that in one way or another, we all wanted to be free from something? Free from the need to smoke, free from the fear of flying, free from an unhappy relationship, free from a traumatic event from years ago, free from excess weight etc etc. All of those in attendance felt that their lives would be better if they were free.

Ponder the thought yourself for a moment..............What do you want to be free from? How would that feel? What would it allow you to do that you can't do now? What would it bring into your life? Who would it allow you to be? How will it look if it happens? What will happen if you don't do it? What will it allow you to achieve?????
