Think Yourself Thin Article in Woman’s World Issue May 2008

Think dieting is too hard? Not anymore! Some simple mind tricks were all it took for Adah Ellerbrock to lose 54 pounds. And they can work for you, too!

Why put off ’til tomorrow what you can do today? We’ve all heard that before. Maybe even thought it when we’ve had clutter to conquer, or a habit to change or a diet to start.
Yet as anyone with extra pounds knows, it’s east to procrastinate–because losing weight takes effort!
But it doesn’t have to, Glandorf, Ohio, mom Adah Ellerbrock discovered.
Big as a little girl, Adah knew early on the heartbreak of being heavy. “Tell us before you fall so we’ll know when the earthquake’s gonna hit!” kids taunted.
So by junior high, she was counting calories–and sometimes not eating at all–to get slim. Then, thankfully, she got into sports. Now she had a healthy way to keep her weight down. And a boyfriend–one she didn’t have to be skinny for. “Just be healthy,” he said.
Keith was a dream come true. And after a job with a weight-management company post-college, she made another dream come true: opening a weight-loss center.
After her own struggles, she was a natural at helping others. There was jsut one problem: her own weight!After putting on 70 pounds with her first baby, 50 wouldn’t budge. She knew she needed to eat better and move more. But nine months after welcoming baby Emma, she wasn’t doing it.
Every Monday, she’d tell herself, “I’ll start this week!” But by Tuesday, it was, “Maybe next week.”
So she cringed at work. It was embarrassing, helping people lose weight when she was so big herself! She felt so low, she wound up on antidepressants.
And she still weighed 204 pounds.Pills aren’t the answer, she sighed. But what is?

Melting pounds the easy way!

Then she heard some buzz about fitness expert Donna Krech’s Never Ending Motivation CD’s.
Donna’s claim: You can think yourself thin.
So how could Adah resist?
And Donna’s tips were easy to put into practice. Tips like writing down her goal–to get happy and healthy–to lock it in. Hanging a size 8 where she could see it–and repeating “That’s me!” whenever she passed by–to stay focused.
Hang around with positive people, Donna urged; their positivity rubs off! And make a “victory board”–a collage that “shows” your goal coming true. To help yourself believe.
Gazing at it, Adah felt hopeful. And within weeks, she found herself eating healthier meals and finding time to exercise!
“It’s working!” she thought.
In less than five months, she lost 54 pounds–and fit into that size 8 skirt!
“Now I’m unstoppable!” says Adah, who slimmed right back down after baby number two, Haley, and became a life coach, too! “With a simple change of mindset, the impossible can be possible. Just look at me!”
