Honestly, I'm getting discouraged. It takes a good bit of effort to keep this playing 24/7 in the different rooms she spends time in. I'll keep it up a couple more weeks.
The one change is that she said to me yesterday, "I'm going to go back to counting calories and being real strict" so we'll see.
With me, I've had to change up my workout regimen yet again due to the unavailability of my gym (due to stupid covid restrictions). I'm doing more exercise, more frequently and feel like I've put on some muscle as well as about a pound of weight. We'll see....
One option is to make her play it 24/7 on her phone.
Other than that, this program is going to be cycling back around for update in the not too distant future, since I'm going to be slowly but surely building out parts that will eventually go into the next version of the weight loss program. So it'll get an update and we can go from there and see how it goes. I'm just strapped for time more than anything lately.
Playing it on her phone isn't an option. She uses it as her radio and she is an obsessive radio listener, she can't work without having something interesting playing in the background.
I'll continue for another week or so, but if we don't see progress, I'll go back to using the Subs that I actually want to use for my own improvement.
For her sake I'm hoping that her plan to do her calorie counting + exercise process again will help. She really wants to drop the weight. She's complaining her clothes are fitting too tight or not at all anymore.
I'd say part of her wants to drop the weight. But the truth is, what we really want is what we currently have. That is to say, the part of us that is really making the choices. That's why we use subliminals. What that part of her really wants is what she has.
If you're willing to try again with the next version of the program, let me know.
Thanks, Shannon. I would definitely be willing to try a new version of the program. After all, it was effective on me--at least at first. I may be developing some internal rebellion (if that's a thing) due to the over-exposure with the attempt to have it playing for her 24/7.
Would the new one address the source of calories? e.g. I think that she sneaks nuts when I'm not looking and somehow rationalizes it. That has improved since she started counting calories, I think. Also, she seems to have a hard time saying "no" to an after dinner drink and chocolate, usually drinking and eating the same amount that I do, rather than scaling it to her size and needs.
As a matter of fact, it has always been hard for her, throughout our 40+ years of marriage, to not split food equally. She had brothers and no sisters and had to compete for food at the dinner table and for the snacks and treats (cause you know how boys eat...) I have carefully explained to her several times that women only need 2/3 of the calories a man needs pound-for-pound because of the differing hormonal environments and metabolisms. Then she is only 2/3s my size. So her caloric needs should only be about half of mine.
She works out 90 minutes 4x per week but that isn't enough to burn that many calories.
If there's any other input I can supply that would help your next version handle the 'tough cases' let me know be glad to have a chat or to just give more detail here.
Cheers!
I don't know what the next one would address yet. There are currently no less than 64 different goals for the next version of the full weight loss subliminal, and appetite suppressant is only one of them. I can't add all of them at once or I don't know what works and what needs improvement. I will have to assess my accumulated data to make that determination. However, I can tell you that your use of and reporting on this program has been absolutely invaluable to me for knowing what to add and how to improve the end program. Thank you for that.
You're right, you probably are overdoing it for yourself, and only creating a resistance response. She is obviously not going to be affected until we deal with some of her core insecurities, so you might as well put that program down for now and focus on something else. I'll get to the next version as soon as I can.
