While some may believe that NLP has been "discredited" it's still taught in sales situations and used by many in psychology today. I don't totally understand it, myself but I do get the idea that people "view" the world in different ways. This I know for sure is correct as I can see it clearly in my own family. A lot of what NLP is about is to pattern oneself after successful people; nothing wrong with that. I don't get their "maps" and "models" and all of that but I believe that Whitney is the sort of person who views the world with her nose. If she was all about food and taste and smell and all of that, she would have been a person who had a weight problem for her entire life. Most people do not balloon up in a year or two the way Whitney did; for most "weight" is a life-long struggle. Saying that, I don't believe she's even trying, now. She could eat healthier with lean meats and lots of veggies and fresh, brightly colored produce and those sorts of things. If *I* were Whitney, I would dance for several hours every day. If she did that and got her heart rate up and kept it up, she'd drop weight pretty quickly, most likely. The exercise would help her blood sugar and several other things too.
While I was pretty "pro Whitney" at the beginning, I am beginning to see that both Whitney and the show are headed into the crapper.
