Watch out Insanity and PX-90000000 (or whatever those kill-yourself-not-so-softly workout programmes are called)...or in fact don't watch out at all. Everyone else: Listen and weep.   *Main section: The Food Rebel's New Year's Resolution* The answer to the mass failure of New Year's Resolutions (NYRs) is not necessarily to avoid them. I am just as magnetised by the clean slate appeal of the 1st January as everyone else. We need to reframe the whole challenge and turn our self-sabotage on its head. Discover: *What a food rebel is *The positive side to rebellion, featuring Einstein, a load of students and The Arab Spring. The mental dictator in your head that you yourself install on 1st January. *Why the whole concept of a NYR is so problematic for compulsive and binge eaters *Why you need to change the type of visionary thinking you use to help achieve your NYR *How to actually work on a NYR in a way that will neutralise your food rebellion *The bigger picture: how to make that rebel energy work for you in reclaiming your life from food.   RESOURCES Find out about the Freedom From Sugar programme here: http:\/\/www.theshiftinside.com\/freedom\/ BBC article on rebellion: http:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/science\/humanbody\/mind\/articles\/emotions\/teenagers\/rebellion.shtml The Harry Potter Saved My Life episode on Hogwarts: http:\/\/harrypottersavedmylife.com\/hogwarts-and-the-replacement-tribe   Sound effects by Zapsplat Produced by Beth McGowan ","author_name":"The Eating Coach","author_url":"http:\/\/eatingcoach.libsyn.com\/website","html":"
