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 you have been physically abused, you will probably be
fearful of being abused again, and you will look for a way
to protect yourself. Fat protects you from being seen and
noticed. Fat decreases the sexual attention that you
receive from others because fat makes you less attractive.
Fat again becomes a form of protection.
A lady I met at a conference told me about her overweight
teenager daughter who was letting herself go by not taking
care of herself and her body. Confronted by her mother, the
teenager admitted that the only way she knew how to deal
with the unwanted sexual attention from boys at school was
to look bad and be overweight.
During one episode of the Oprah Winfrey show, Lisa Nichols,
one of the teachers in the movie The Secret, admitted that
she put on 100 pounds to protect herself from unwanted
sexual attention she was getting from men.
If you are fat and less attractive, you will feel more
protected from physical abuse. Many women develop this
belief when they have been traumatized by physical abuse.
If this has happened to you, you will need to let go of
this belief. If you have been beaten on a certain area of
the body, you will develop a layer of fat to protect
yourself from the physical pain of the beating. You
typically store the emotional pain within the same area as
well. So, this layer of fat will be full of the emotions
and memories related to the physical abuse. Before you can
lose the fat through a healthy lifestyle, you will first
need to release these stored emotions.
One of my clients was beaten on her legs by her mother. All
her life, she had huge legs and she had trouble losing
weight. One of her distorted beliefs was that she needed to
have at least four inches of fat around her legs to protect
herself against her mother's beating.
To ensure that you feel safe losing weight, you need to let
go of the following M.E.S.S. blocks to weight loss: "fat
protects me from abuse", "fat is a protection"; "being fat
makes me feel secure"; "I feel insecure and unsafe if I am
thin"; "I feel protected from abuse if I am fat". You will
not be able to achieve permanent weight loss until you let
go of these distorted beliefs.
