Awakening to Weight Loss by April R. Holmes

Awakening to Weight Loss is a book that may help you on your journey with how to find the right weight for your body.

I am a qualified Life Coach and Diet and Nutrition advisor, but more importantly, I have had a long battle with excess weight and yo-yo dieting. In this book I share with you in a deeply honest way, my own battles with an addiction to unhelpful behaviours around food.

I hope that by reading this story it may in some small way help to save you from your own worst enemy which unfortunately lies deep within – it is YOU. I do not advise what to eat or not eat, but I do share some of the foods that have helped me and some that have harmed.

There are two aspects which I sincerely hope that this book can help you with. The first is why. Why do you eat when there is part of you that is sobbing in fury and disgust at your own lack of willpower? Why do you lose control and indulge yourself despite your deep longing to find a better way for yourself? Confronting this side of ourselves is a deep and often painful challenge. In Awakening to Weight Loss, I call this The Story. It is the deepest part which needs some substance or behaviour to prevent you looking at it. It is the part that distracts you from helping yourself. It is an ego devil which is not there to help you even though it may pretend that it is.

The second aspect is how. How do you find a way to listen to what the body really wants rather than what the brain tells you it wants. Your body has lost trust that you will ever take it’s needs seriously and has become a silent partner, watching a train crash it can’t do anything about. How to start listening and building a new bond of trust between your brain and your body.
