This is a continuation of the discussion on the Body Image Development Program. At this point, I'd like to highly recommend that you begin to take an excellent multivitamin and multimineral supplement every day. Get a good one. I also strongly urge that you take an additional amount of vitamin C and E even in addition to the multivitamin. Oh, 500 to 1000 milligrams of C at least extra and 400 international units of E probably would be sufficient. Especially if you're you need a calcium supplement, at least I think so. Now, to me, these are only just basic necessities. I take more vitamins than that, but this is not a vitamin supplement program, so I do recommend that you take those.

I want you to have the mental relaxation of not worrying about the nutritional content. And these supplements will ensure against any nutritional compromise while you're on any type of a restrictive food intake program. Now, stress the extreme importance of the following seven days of this program and the value of adhering to the instructions as we've outlined them. This is going to be the first segment of the program in which you must count calories, and I'm sorry, but they're in any other way. Now I'll get around to telling you why there's no other way.

If we could call them something else, we'd like it better. You must during this period limit your intake to 500 calories a day. A maximum of 600 calories a day. That's what we're trying to attain, somewhere around 600. If you aim at 500 calories a day, then any little errors are going to be absorbed in that extra 100 calories. Now, this is restrictive. But what's going to happen is you should actually find it enjoyable. If you've been using your program tapes correctly and diligently, you're finally on your way and at the end of this week your whole outlook is going to be changed.

The reason for this diet exercise is to ensure that your subconscious mind recognizes which foods are calorically acceptable and which ones it must automatically reduce in quantities sufficient to facilitate continued movement toward and maintenance of your new goal. You've got to keep constantly in mind that you are retraining your subconscious mind to want only the things necessary to move you toward your new goal image. If it doesn't have the input, it can't act as you wish. I can assure you by the end of this seven-day period, you'll have been quite comfortable. In addition, you will have acquired a deep sense of accomplishment. You'll feel exhilaration and pride in yourself.

You'll also see a marvelous change in your body because your body is reshaping and is striving to fulfill your desired goal picture. By this point in the program, you would have used tape 103A many times and probably have isolated one of the more problem incidents. Don't be concerned if you've found no major problems, most especially if you're not grossly obese. Could be you simply overindulge in incorrect foods and have poor eating habits. It's possible that you only need to restructure your eating patterns and reduce your food quantity intake. If, however, you're many pounds overweight, and especially if you've tried many times and every different way known to lose weight and only manage to regain it.

You do need further insight and help. Continue to use tape 103A until you can really see and objectively look at the incidents where your mind stops or even briefly lingers. Your subconscious mind would not even hesitate in a mental image or thought unless it's in some way related to your specific problem. It may be that you'll find obesity as such is not your major problem. However, it is the problem with which we're working, so let's deal only with it for the present time. We can do other things some other time. After working with the tape, you need to think about what your mind shows you. You're going to need to analyze the information in your alert state and begin using tape 103B side often in addition to 103A Use them both in conjunction with whatever your current programming tape is and use them forever If you want to you're going to find a new insight every time you listen and you can kind of superimpose other situations Into there you can do anything you want your subconscious mind to do other situations into there.

You can do anything you want your subconscious mind to do. Now we can begin to work with whatever problems you've isolated. It's you alone who needs to know the problem. You're the one who's got to face it, arrive at a solution, and you're the one who's going to have to act on the solution. It's not important whether the problem seems appropriate or inappropriate, it doesn't matter how it would affect anyone other than yourself. It's only important that it does affect you. And it does relate in some way to your life and resulting eating patterns. It's obviously causing distress in your life.

It needs correcting in order for you to experience the positive good and acquire the happiness and control over yourself, which is rightly yours. You deserve it. You'll now be able to see how and why some past incident has affected you and how it continues to relate to you presently. Once you face the problem for exactly what it is, you can then choose how you want to handle it, how you're going to handle it. I'm going to have to discuss now the old bugaboo exercise.

This is not a planned exercise program. But of course you'll progress faster if you keep yourself active. If you already have an exercise routine, continue as you are. If you have no routine already, I'm going to limit your exercise plans in the beginning. You'll increase your activity as your subconscious mind gets itself programmed to prompt you into action automatically and without effort. After a while, you both eat properly and exercise properly. You don't give conscious thought to the matter. You simply do it because you feel like you want to do it. This is more of the magic of this method, the changing your life plan in every way.

You find that you simply do want to do things because you've changed your mental programming. All conscious effort becomes unnecessary. You'll find you have an urge to do things without further attention. Feelings of deprivation cease to be any part of your life as regards food intake and or exercise. There's nothing to be gained by overstressing muscles and body in the beginning. Most people are eager for immediate results and thus they start by absolutely completely overdoing. And the only thing they accomplish is that usually they quit the entire program absolutely and finally, and go back to their old ways.

So you need to build slowly. You don't need to make those muscles sore and hurt. This is a fun program. And you move along at whatever speed you find best for yourself as far as exercise is concerned. You're to only use walking for the first several weeks. You may find that you never wish to do more than walk. You'll find, however, that you can easily attain whatever goal you choose. You should walk along briskly but comfortably, and you may only walk for 10 to 15 minutes at a session the first several days.

It's extremely important that you follow my guidelines and begin slowly. Don't exceed 20 to 30 minutes per session during the first 10 days for two weeks of beginning this program. If you're out walking and find you need to exceed the time limit to return from your departure place, well, for heaven's sake, do return. Just slow up, take it easy, and stroll comfortably on back. Take your time. Enjoy the scenes around you.

Now, you can walk several times a day if you wish. But don't exceed the time limit per walk. And after two weeks of walking every day, limit per walk. And after two weeks of walking every day, increase your time by a few minutes each session until such time as you walk as far and for as long a period of time as you wish. Exercise will always help you physically feel better and speed you on to your goal, but you're headed to your goal anyway. If you maintain that mental image of your desired goal, there is absolutely nothing that will prevent you from reaching that goal.

This time you'll undergo a permanent change in your entire life. I urge you to be patient, however, as it does take a little bit of time. You've got to reprogram wrong ideas with correct ones. You took a long time to get where you are. It'll take a little time to change that, especially to change it permanently. Can you imagine forever being what you want to be, looking the way you want to look? It's absolutely necessary that you carefully and accurately count your caloric intake for fully seven days.

It does not matter what kind of a plan you follow. Follow one of the liquid diet plans if you want. It may be just your style for that week. The subconscious mind must, however, have the input of what the value of a measure of a calorie is. And it takes a couple of weeks or more to lock in that knowledge. Now a calorie, for heaven's sake, is only a measure of heat, which in turn is related to energy and so on. Now wouldn't it appear that we'd get overheated if we overindulge? Come on, we shouldn't get fat, we should just get hot if we eat too many calories.

But it also appears there are a lot of things that we don't know about a lot of different things. It does become a fact that the subconscious mind controls our whole mechanism. Now you've got to adhere to this restriction for this period of time as it's crucial to your success. You'll find it a rather short period of time overall, and if you've been listening to Tape 102-A and B regularly every day, it'll be quite comfortable for you. You'll have a lot of motivation to move along with this program and you'll be eager to move on every step by step. Continually keep up almost in your mind this is a new concept in body figure alteration. You're going to find that hunger will only relate to the physical need to eat. You'll stop eating for any reason related to psychological frustration.

Next, we'll begin to listen and practice with tape 104B. At this time and point, you must increase your amount of food intake to a minimum of 1,000 calories a day. Raise it. Limit the maximum intake to around 1,200 calories as you adjust your eating habits. You've got to be accurate for the next seven days, so you're going to have to keep measuring. I'm going to explain the reason for increasing this intake. You're probably doing well, and so you'd like to continue on 500 calories.

Feel great about it. See remarkable changes. But you'll only slow your progress if you stick there. The subconscious mind will register, starvation, starvation, and the body will make every effort to cling to all that available fat. Because it fears nutritional deprivation and anticipates a period of starvation. And how many times have you done it to it before? The mind is once again controlling the rest of your body.

And it's controlling you. Let's stop it. You've got to continue to instruct your subconscious mind to desire only wholesome foods and enjoy and desire only small quantities and portions. You may find you have to force yourself to eat from time to time at this point. Your subconscious mind is restructuring those old habit patterns. You've got to continue to emit refined sugars, refined flour products, and alcohol from your diet. You need to eat nutritious foods while on these restricted calories. Sugar, starches, and alcohol account for too large a quantity of calories.

Why you're so restricted. You'll note that you're enjoying what you eat much more than you ever did before. And you're going to lose all desire to indulge in fatty, sugary or gooey foods. They'll get icky to you. You'll soon find that only thinking about them spoils your appetite. Continue to practice mentally picturing yourself as the new you, many, many times, each and every day. Listen to your tapes while you're in a state of self-hypnosis as often as you can. Listen to them while you're alert and wide awake. Don't slacken your efforts now because you're over the hill and moving towards your goal with ease and ever-increasing speed. Don't slow your progress by becoming lazy or careless.

You should be seeing your old causative problems for what they are and begin formulating solutions for changing them. Changes will be happening rapidly by this time, and you will feel a difference in your attitude and overall personality. You'll begin to feel a large difference in your body. You're probably feeling better than you have ever felt in your previous life. Enjoy the feeling of confidence, well-being, and self-pleasure that you've acquired. You like yourself. Maybe you like yourself for the very first time. Your self-discipline and your new method of living makes you proud of yourself, and you certainly should be proud. You're accomplishing miracles within yourself.

You're beginning to allow your subconscious mind to judge caloric intake. If you become thoroughly familiar with calorie content of food items, it is no problem henceforth. I want you to continue to measure calories until such time as you don't make mental errors. Ha! The subconscious mind will poke in those little mental errors in your favor. Actually, it's not in your favor. It's in your old habit pattern favor. Every time, it's just like a bank statement. Never in your favor. Also be cautious against allowing a do-it-yourself in.

Devil. They creep in, causing you to revert to old habit patterns. Come on, it's easy to slip back to the old unwanted habits. Especially if you feel a little sorry for yourself. Come on, stay ahead of the game. Get your tapes out if you feel that little, oh, come on, let's just have one brownie feeling. After you have used tape 104B as directed for seven days, you're going on to tape 105A. Keep your caloric intake at a daily limit of around 1,200 calories.

By this time in the program, your eating habits will have changed. You'll be well on your way to obtaining your desired measurements and the image you have as a goal. Listen to and practice with tape 105A for 14 days. We're doubling it up this time. Keep measuring your calories if you feel you need to the first seven days. You should, however, find it's no longer necessary. And by now in the program, you should be able to know without checking what size portions you can consume to keep that average at 12 to 1400 calories a day.

You're going to continue consuming 12 to 1400 calories a day until such time as you reach your reshaping and measurement goals. So don't fudge. Come on, that mind knows when you're fudging a little. If you were practicing with the program along with this tape, you'd have been on the program now about 49 days. Quite a few of you would have reached your goals. Congratulations to those of you who've done so. Man, alive! Enjoy that pleasure.

You'll please move on to tape 105B, if you've done so. This tape is one which you will use forever, indefinitely. We'll call it the locking-in tape. Any time you feel you're slipping into undesirable eating patterns or need motivational inspiration, go listen to it. I urge you just to go spend half hour with it. We're going to call it the locking-in tape. Anytime you feel... Yeah, that's what we're going to call it, the locking-in tape. Anytime you feel yourself slipping into undesirable eating patterns or need motivational inspiration, go in there just like I said and listen to it.

Your subconscious mind at the conclusion of the program will be so programmed that you'll permanently maintain your new appearance. At any point, should old habits reappear for any reason, go listen to the tapes. I want you now to listen to 105B every day for the next seven days. And then use it any time you need to go back to it. Now for those of you who are not at goals within this period of time, don't worry about it. Return to tape 104A. Repeat the 500 calorie week. You don't have to measure this time, weigh this time.

And then move on to the thousand calorie week, and so forth. Just repeat the program as many times as required to reach your goal. By varying your caloric intake levels, you'll find it's... it's taking care of those plateaus that you're accustomed to. And those plateaus inhibit your progress. Each time you experience the restricted periods of time, you find marvelous results happening. Be sure to accompany each step of the program with the appropriate programming tape. That'll seem a bit of a bore from time to time, but it's essential. Boredom and repetition are intentionally built into the hypnosis process.

When you've reached your goal measurements, you too are ready to move on to tape 105B. Use it often for motivation and maintain... maintaining your newly developed body. You don't want to ever slip back into those old habits. As you move along through this program, measure yourself each couple of weeks and document the measurements. Enjoy seeing the results as you move steadily toward your goal. Enjoy moving to smaller and smaller clothing.

Get ready for the next step. Buy something new. Have it hanging there waiting. You're going to use it. When you program your subconscious mind, for 30 or more days, the new habit becomes your accepted method of functioning. Your body and mind act on the habit in a totally natural and automatic manner. You'll know you're doing well and you'll feel wonderful about yourself. You'll enjoy watching the inches melt away.

And enjoy the mental boost you get when you take a tape measure and see all those inches gone. You're also finding it's more enjoyable to eat than ever before. You note from time to time that the old inappropriate cravings no longer exist. And you smile at yourself. You've truly become a totally new and vibrant person. When you've reached your desired goal, you may find those scales if you wish. Way, document your way. And note that you really don't care what you write down. You now know that a person... well, a person's weight isn't of any importance.

It's just been an old measurement to make us miserable. You'll also, of course, note that you have dropped many pounds along the way, and you'll enjoy sharing the joys of just how many with your friends. I would, however, suggest that you never need those scales again for weighing yourself, keep them around to weigh your propane tank. Your new image is your future self, forever. This program works 100% of the time if your problem is one of overeating and overindulgence in food. Glandular disorders are rare, but some people do have them.

But since it is a rare exception in causing obesity, let's just assume it's that you only need to retrain yourself in a new method of living and eating. I suggest you acquire a good book dealing with nutrition early on in the program. Balance your food intake to maximize good body health. You want those muscles in that skin to shrink right down along with your size. So you're going to want, you know, you're going to want some of that exercise that we're going to suggest as we go along. In almost all cases we can isolate underlying problems with the use of the analysis tape, 103 A and B. Most often, however, we find that all that is truly needed is simply retraining and reprogramming of the subconscious mind, and that comes with the programming tapes. In some persons there are, however, problems which are so deeply emotional and deeply rooted from past experience And maybe further help might be required to attain totally satisfactory results Subconscious mind also has an ability to lie to you and try to fool you and hide incidents that finds undesirable or painful And if you should be one of those persons who can't quite make it with self-hypnosis Let me urge you to seek further help through hypnosis with the help of a certified hypnotherapist.

The cost of such help is very reasonably priced, and the results are almost always exceptionally positive, especially if you have already gone through this particular image development program. You probably would find it would only require one or two visits to isolate your problem. You can easily locate a certified hypnotherapist by contacting the American Council of Hypnotist Examiners. They're at 312 Riverdale Drive, Glendale, California. Their zip code is 91204. You can request a listing for someone in your geographic area. If you're in the Southern California area, you may feel free to contact me directly.

I'm in the... I'll be in any printed material around here, so will my phone number. Be cautious, however, that you do get help from a hypnotherapist and a well-trained one. We're trained in the use of hypnoanalysis, and I fear that if you seek help from one who is only a hypnotist, and I don't mean to make that only sound like only, but your results might not be any better than the results you can more easily and privately and more cheaply obtain with the use of this program on tapes. If this program has not been successful and you have diligently made the effort to follow all of the instructions carefully and totally, and you haven't been successful, then further help, I really would recommend it.

Our intentions here are to make this program available on a personal basis at the earliest feasible opportunity. At the present time, however, we just don't have enough hypnotherapists specifically trained with the program. We can't ensure adequate teaching staff or widespread availability. We've had phenomenal results with the TAIP program, however, and feel confident you'll be among the successful achievers. It's due to the request of so many of these successful people that we're making this TAIP program available to the public.

The program has been extremely successful in a family group setting and is especially successful shared with a spouse or a friend. Positive input from another person or group of persons can be very, very beneficial. It wasn't with Weight Watchers or Take Off Pound Sensibly programs. We like each other really. We send out love and caring and a boost to each other. So if you'd like to use it with a group. I make another suggestion, however, and that is you might want to keep your goal private if it makes you uncomfortable to share your ideas and ideals publicly.

It's reprogramming which creates a success, not telling on yourself. Therefore it all takes place in the privacy of your very own mind. Doesn't matter what anybody else thinks. Ha ha! You don't care what anybody else thinks. By the time you're done with the program, you know what they're going to think. They're going to think all sorts of jealous, wonderful things about you. And, geez, thank you for allowing me to share your experience. I hope that you'll stay in contact with me and send me a note from time to time as you move along with this program. I need that boost.

Because I know it works. But I like to have a few strokes too. So I'd really appreciate hearing from you. And if you have problems, come on, I want to hear those too. Because I can help you. And I really appreciate spending these few minutes with you. I know it's been a brief discussion, but I hope it's been adequate. And I think whatever I might not have answered in this discussion, you will find answered as you move along through the program. So I would hope that you'd be just a little patient and experience the program before you make the big long list of problems.

So let's just relax and enjoy and move right along together. Thank you.
