Q) I’m seriously considering having weight-loss surgery, but something is telling me not to do it. I really want to lose weight, but I just don’t seem to have the willpower – what should I do?

A. Whatever the cost of surgery you could instead spend about half that money on a delicious and nutritious diet specific food service delivered direct to your door, companies such as Soulmate make it very easy for you to loose weight in a safe and healthy way. But the service also combines personal trainers, life coaching, hypnotherapy and alternative healing to support you on your journey. No willpower necessary! More than that, I would strongly recommend that you say “I LOVE YOU! YOU’RE GORGEOUS!” to yourself, as many times as possible, until you begin to feel it. Notice the beauty in your friends and family and tell them how beautiful they are. Spend time increasing your appreciation of the natural beauty of life it’s self, which you are a beautiful part of. Because, unless you start to feel beautiful now, you never will, even if you end up looking like Barbie.
