I’m Michael Dawson, author of Quit Your Diet: Think to Shrink. In this episode I reveal the mindset shifts that helped me drop cigarettes and alcohol for good and whether those same principles appear in my 14-Day Escape Plan to quit dieting forever. On reflection I discovered : Why a non smoker is carrying a cigarette around, how a countdown super-charges commitment. The power of my goodbye letter that closes the emotional loop with an unhealthy habit Put up or shut up was an ultimatum that ended my drinking years and how ditching booze gave me 10–20 extra productive hours a week.
