Are you motivated by carrots or sticks?
Do you move towards what you want - or away from what you don't want?
Are you avoiding pain - or seeking pleasure?
Well, my blog on the money you will save when you stop smoking certainly started a conversation!
Some people WILL be motivated to stop smoking to save the money - or be able to spend it on something MUCH better! They're moving towards pleasure!
Some people will be more motivated to stop smoking (or indeed spending/wasting money on fizzy pop or alcohol or sweets) when they realise how much money they've already wasted - so they're moving away from pain!
Which are you?
Or would you like to make the same comparison but using health? Are you fed up of the coughing and breathing problems? Or is it lack of energy? Or are you motivated to lengthen your life and spend more time with your family, children, grandchildren?
Which are you?

The Economy's looking bad!
So perhaps now IS the time to take control of your money!
Stop smoking and save the money and this is what happens....
20 a day at £50 a week could feed an adult. So if you stop smoking you'll never have to find the money to buy food again!!! Or petrol for your car???
If you save that £50 a week at 3% interest p.a. these are the savings...
£2,644 after one year - that's a nice holiday every year!
£5,3644 after 2 years
£14,040 after 5 years (that's a new car?)
£30,317 after 10 years - that'll pay for university fees for one of your kids!
£71,061 after 20 years
£96,420 after 25 years
So if you are around 35 years old and you saved every penny you would have almost £100,000 in your pension fund at 60 years old!
Or you could pay off your mortgage quicker, or get a mortgage - what could YOU do with he money?
And all by just stopping smoking.
Is it worth it?
Call me now and I'll show you how easy it can be! 0113 380 1758

Lose a Stone by Christmas! Special Offer for October only!
Remember what you looked and felt like in your best clothes at the Christmas Party last year?
Was it good? Will it be good this year?
Or was it not so good? Want it to be BETTER this year?
You can lose a stone before Christmas if you start NOW!
Never mind gastric bands, virtual gastric bands or weird diets!
All you need to do is change the way you THINK about fattening and sugary foods - so you DON'T THINK ABOUT FATTENING and SUGARY FOODS.
Oops - now you're thinking about them aren't you?
That's the problem with willpower and dieting. You can't NOT think about chocolate, crisps, biscuits or whatever else you're eating too much of...pies, chips...OK I'll stop!
With hypnotherapy I can help you eat less of the fattening foods. Stop eating for "comfort" and start eating for your health!
Eating healthily you can lose 2lbs a week. From today that's 20lbs (one stone 6lbs) by Christmas Day!!!
What would YOU look like at over a stone lighter?
What would YOU feel like at over a stone lighter?

Stopping Smoking Report
I felt I just had to copy and paste a piece I read on AOL today about the number of people trying - and succeeding in stopping smoking with the NHS.
Here it is I've added my own comments in red!:
"The number of people trying to quit smoking via NHS services has roughly trebled in the last decade but success rates have fallen, figures show. Well my success rates have stayed around the 95% stop and stay stopped mark!
In 2010/11, there were almost 788,000 "quit dates" set with NHS stop smoking services, with almost 384,000 successful attempts. In 2001/02, there were just 227,000 quit dates set and fewer than 120,000 successful attempts.
People may be successful on their first try, or can set further quit dates throughout the year if their first attempt fails. Maybe they should stop "trying" and just do it!
The overall success rate is now 49%, the same as the previous year, but down on the 53% recorded in 2001/02, according to the data from the NHS Information Centre. People are counted as successful quitters if they are still not smoking four weeks after their quit date. Four weeks? We tested for up to 6 months and I get letters from clients years later!The new report showed the total amount spent on England's NHS stop smoking services in 2010/11 was £84.3 million, almost £500,000 more than in the previous year and almost £60 million more than a decade ago. That's tax payers money they're spending! If you're not a smoker you may be a little incensed! That's £219.53 for each person who stopped.
With patches having a 16% success rate and Champix and Zyban coming in at about 24% when will the government realise that their methods are not working? A 49% success rate is less than 50:50 and that's luck!

Better staying overweight than constantly dieting
Today's news on the eating front...dieting is bad for you!
Of course the way the papers are reporting the news it sounds like losing weight is bad for you but of course that's just not true!
The newest research says that it's better to stay overweight than be constantly dieting - and of course, that may be true! Dieting is un-natural and most diets encourage us to eat in ways that simply aren't normal! Dieting is cutting out carbs or fat, eating cereal for lunch or living off soups and shakes.
So yes, staying overweight IS better than dieting! But eating healthily is still better than being overweight. Changing your weight and losing that excess fat through normal, healthy eating is the best and only way!
I work with my clients to help them eat normally. Three meals a day, healthy food. No diets, no feeling deprived and no unhappiness! Hypnotherapy can change the way you think about those foods (and drinks) you've been labelling as "treats". But they're not "treats" are they?
They're not "treats" because you're having them every day - lots of them. A "treat" is occasional, a special event.
They're not "treats" because they are actually making you fat and unhealthy - and unhappy!
So let me help you put the "treats" back into your life. Eat normally. Lose weight. Feel better!
Call me on 0113 380 1758 and I'll explain how easy it will be!

Who can Dukan? You can!
I thought I'd start by bringing you a media line on yet another new diet!
Of course you can Dukan - or du (!) any other diet but do really WANT to diet? Do you really want to have to remember to pack separate bags of oat bran, each with 2 tablespoons in, for your holidays? Oh, and don't forget the flavourings - "available from our website" to make your food taste better!
With Dukan you don't eat any vegetables or fruit for the "attack" phase - well I know what that will give you an attack of - do you?
How's this for a way of eating that you can do all the time, forever? Eat normally! Yes, how about eating 3 meals a day, occasional healthy snacks, plenty of healthy vitamin and mineral-laden foods and enough protein and carbs to keep you healthy and fit?
Wouldn't that be better than spooning oat bran into little bags?
If you need help to just eat normally and cut out the snacking and fattening extras then give me a call. I can help. You will lose weight but here's the difference. You'll keep it off because, as far as the eating habits are concerned, you'll keep it up!
To borrow another advertiser's favourite - Simple!
