PWL Script 10 - Taking Control

Remember to begin your chosen induction and deepener and then continue with the main script:

Fat people are not bad people but we limit our lives by being overweight. Having a lot of weight to carry around can be exhausting – if we’re just one stone overweight then that’s like carrying around a fourteen pound sack of potatoes under our skin – everywhere we go – from waking up in a morning to going to bed at night. There’s no wonder that fat people feel tired more quickly and easily. And although fat is alright for many people, I’m beginning to realize now that it’s not for me. I’m worth more than that, I’m ready to shed those extra pounds (or kilos) and take control of my life. I make a conscious decision right now to take control. It’s a good feeling to be in control. I can control my eating by eating healthier, low fat, low calorie foods. Sugar, which may have once felt as though it gave me energy – now feels as though it really slows me down. I become conscious now of everything I eat. I eat fresh foods, fresh fruit and salad and vegetables, low fat foods, low calorie foods. That’s all my body needs. That’s all my body wants.
