The book shares about learning to watch your pets to be bilingual with the environment.

Why Do you Feel Fat After Losing Weight?

Thus your body image, held in memory and language circuits throughout your brain, can easily overwhelm your slimmed-down body schema. You get discouraged and regain the weight you can't stop believing in anyway. Your yo-yo dieting begins another new cycle.

Fortunately, there are ways to redress this schema-image disconnect. For example, wobble boards used by personal trainers bring your body schema into sharp relief, forcing you to attend to the signals you may normally tune out because they frighten or discomfit you. Another route is to go see a somatic psychologist, a therapist who guides patients to stay bodily self-aware and viscerally attuned as they talk about their troubles.



Neurological Rationale for Integrated Training

Think of yourself standing on a balance board. Do you have time to think about what muscles are going to activate and when? No. The same holds true for training in a controlled unstable environment as seen integrated training (IT). By placing a person in an environment that challenges their reflexive ability to stabilize intrinsically we begin to enhance joint stability and muscle coordination between functional synergist and antagonist muscles.
