Getting back to life!

A friend of mine Tanith Lee has started a weight loss programme with a difference - she wants it to actually work and for the participants to change their lifestyle and poor behaviours permanently. Its called the Back to Life project. In my humble opinion it is genius and she has got it right. Mainly because, unlike the patterns created by some of the other dieting companies, she does not want repeat business or a cycle of failure and return. If we BACK TO LIFERS succeed she has done her job. The programme therefore has real integrity.

This is a summary of the key factors which make what she is offering really different, by combining all these factors:-

Firstly it is holistic: this does not mean we sit in circles humming to crystals, it means it is looking to deal with the issues as a whole that contribute to the problem . So the physical, emotional, psychological, physiological and structural problems that may contribute to the issue of weight gain and inability to lose weight.

Secondly she has structures in place that support us to make changes and to get committed to making those changes. Some of these are obvious and some are more subtle but they add up to a web of support for the participants.

Thirdly she has the expertise and has been able to put in place a programme that actively includes a dietary and exercise plan and also gets you to actively participate in them.

Fourthly it is not a generic programme - it is individual and inherently tailored to you. She encourages you to participate in setting up your own programme and for you to make your own commitment to it.

Finally and most importantly the programme makes people take a firm look at their well being from every angle and it makes them start embracing personal responsibility for it in a safe and supportive environment.

I am one of the participants and I will be blogging about its impact.

Who am I - I am being a stand for achieving total Well being in my life and for my family so I can
authentically be a stand for this for all our clients.

I look forward to telling you about my journey.

Week one is about making the commitment and beginning to adjust your diet. I will tell you how I get on.
If this programme is of interest to you and you live in and around Sussex she is doing a talk and presentation about the project on Friday 8th February 2013 - at St Wilfrids School, Haywards Heath at 7.30pm email tanith@tanithlee.co.uk for more information.
