Acupuncture in the ear helps with weight loss??

According the Daily Mail online, acupuncture helps with weight loss. This idea has been doing the rounds for at least 35 years! I had a go at this in 1976 and believe me, it simply had no effect on me. Maybe the reason was that I had little faith it would help, did not believe it could. I still think the same way, although I do know acupuncture helps with many other health issues.

People become desperate for help with weight loss, but the only thing that really works is eating less. Even gastric bands and gastric bypasses don't always work and there are many failures with this procedure.

The reason people struggle so much with weight loss is because they make food more important than health. We know this to be true because those people who have serious health problems still cannot reduce the amounts they eat. It is because we tend to eat emotionally, and eat inappropriately. Sound familiar to you?

Today I saw people queuing up to have their nails done in a salon. I wondered if having false gel nails made you feel more confident. If it does that is great. If it makes no difference to how you feel about yourself, maybe it is time sort out your emotions and get more out of life.
