• Using disassociation to enable them to see themselves in the future looking slimmer , eating well , and exercising in the right ways .
• Using ' age progression ' to take them into the future where they ' ve become slimmer and suggesting they " remember " exactly how that ' s happened .
Over the weeks , Sam started to look better , to exercise sensibly ( overexercise helps no one ), and to eat well . He lost fat and increased muscle tone , his blood pressure readings improved , he became confident , and he got a girlfriend . And he told me that not once had he felt like he was " on a diet ", yet he ' d become slimmer . He was no longer ' the fat guy ’.
Notes
1 Actually , it seems that overweight women are more discriminated against than overweight men . A study carried out by the Department of Psychiatry at the University of Connecticut found that overweight women are more likely to lose their jobs , be a victim of crime , have money troubles , and be viewed less favourably for dating than their slimmer counterparts . The study looked at 41,218 adults who had completed detailed records of their lives in which each had kept a year-long diary showing when they had suffered the most stress .
2 Being fat doesn ' t seem to be as disadvantageous for a man as being very short - which again makes it harder ( crazily ) to progress in a career or in dating .
