Losing weight is not just about dieting or exercising as
proven by the countless number of failed diets and exercise
programs. First, you need to identify and let go of the
many Mental, Emotional, Subconscious, and Spiritual blocks
that prevent you from losing weight. I call them the
M.E.S.S. blocks; they are limiting beliefs, thoughts, or
fears that prevent your weight loss. If you do not let go
of these blocks, you will continue to have an extremely
hard time losing weight and, if you do succeed, you will
continue to gain the weight back.
If your parents and siblings are extremely overweight, you
may think that it is impossible for you to lose weight and
be thin. This is especially true if your family members
have been trying to lose weight without success. Here are
some limiting thoughts and beliefs that you may have if you
grew up in such a family: "No one in my family can be thin;
everyone in my family, including me, is supposed to be fat;
I am supposed to be fat; my family is supposed to be fat;
there is nothing I can do, I just cannot lose weight.
Losing weight is impossible, so why even try? I always fail
when it comes to weight loss. I cannot succeed at losing
weight. There is absolutely no way I can lose weight; it is
hopeless." In addition to these overwhelming negative
thoughts and beliefs, if you are the only one eating
healthy or dieting in your family, it will be almost
impossible for you to succeed unless you have a motivation
of steel. You will be tempted 24 hours a day to eat
unhealthy foods and deviate from your healthy regimen.
Plus, if your parents or siblings are fat, you may have the
belief that to fit in with your family, you need to be
overweight. If your mother, father, sisters, and brothers
are fat, ask yourself, do you have any other option than to
be fat?
What are the chances you can grow up with a perfect body
and still fit in with your overweight family? You will
develop the belief that you cannot be different from them.
It does not matter how many diets you try, you will never
be thin or stay thin because a part of you does not want to
succeed.
Most of us have a strong need to fit in and belong, which
is a basic human need. We also want and need to be loved.
Even though, consciously, losing weight might be important
to you, subconsciously you may not want to lose weight if
this means you have to give up fitting in, belonging to,
and being loved by your family. Ask yourself. Would you
still belong to the family if you are thin? Would you still
be loved and accepted if you are the only thin person in
your family?
