Shrink Yourself is a totally unique online weight loss
service that concentrates on addressing the underlying
emotional issues which affect a particular dieter's
eating habits. Studies suggest that in most cases,
overeating and binge eating is the product of underlying
emotional stress which manifests itself through excessive
overeating. The Shrink Yourself program intends to root
out these issues and address them head on, through the
use of interactive online therapy sessions, quizzes,
videos and more, so that when users begin to diet (or
simply change their lifestyle to support a healthier way
of living) dieters are more likely to succeed as they
have already addressed their underlying emotional issues
related to food. Shrink Yourself has been featured in
Time Magazine, Good Housekeeping Magazine, MSN, People
and USA Today. The program is also publically endorsed by
Governor Mike Huckabee and the late Senator Edward
Kennedy; and has been clinically proven as successful and
based on sound medical principles by UCLA.
Shrink Yourself allows users to get back in control of
their weight and eating habits by following a twelve-week
course of online therapy. Users learn how to make
long-term changes to their dietary habits by learning
what the source of their bad eating regime is and dealing
with the issues that underline those problems. Users take
part in twelve online sessions, which take the form of
in-person therapy sessions. During these sessions, users
address a range of issues that are commonly related to
the client's perception of food, their attitudes to
eating and diet, and reasons for overeating.
By means of illustration, the first class on the program
deals with solving the internal conflicts that exist
between the client's desire to lose weight (and what
motivates them to do so) and their reasons for eating and
attitudes to food. By understanding the reasons why a
person is unlikely to succeed at dieting (i.e. the
conflicts that exist between these two facets of
motivation) users are supported in making long term
changes that are ultimately beneficial for their weight
loss success. That said, we're not convinced that all
users can benefit from this form of advice. Much of the
'therapy' is administered through lifestyle
questionnaires - the responses to which are automatically
generated from the answers given. We can't help but feel
that the true force of such advice is lost in the way
that the program delivers this sterile information and
could ultimately benefit from a more personal touch.
Users who subscribe to the whole course also get the
opportunity to speak online with a Shrink Yourself
Emotional Eating Expert, who, we think, could help
personalize the advice. If you don't sign up for the
complete program however, this advice will cost you
$75.
Shrink Yourself certainly offers dieters a unique
approach to addressing their weight loss problems. If our
readers find themselves continually incapable of sticking
to diets and falling back into a cycle of binge
overeating, the service offered by Shrink Yourself could
be a useful leg up into the positive mental attitude
needed to succeed. We wouldn't suggest however, that this
program is going to be successful for everyone, as the
reasons people struggle with their weight are complex and
broad. Shrink Yourself may well be the answer for you,
but it certainly doesn't compare to a personalized,
professional course of therapy which could, ultimately,
prove a great deal more effective.
