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.
In certain cultures such as Asian and African cultures,
there is still a perception today that thin people are not
healthy and being overweight is a sign of health.
For the longest time, I, too, associated being fat with
being healthy and strong. I believed subconsciously that my
fat gave me strength and energy, and I would have much less
of both if I was thin. I was convinced at a subconscious
level that being fat or overweight was best for my health
and fitness. A few years ago, as I started to get thin, I
began having health problems. Once I released the belief
that I could not be healthy if I was thin, my health
problems disappeared.
A famous actor and singer, was recently quoted in a
magazine, saying: "I could not be a size 0. I just don't
see how I could get down to that size and still be healthy.
It wouldn't work..." On the same note, I heard from many of
my clients that they were afraid of becoming sick if they
were too skinny.
If you have the subconscious belief that being fat is
healthy and you cannot be healthy if you are thin, no
matter how hard you try to lose weight, you will not
succeed.
Being fat, then, becomes a false protection against poor
health and sickness. These beliefs could not be further
from the truth as obesity is a major cause of preventable
death in America. Being overweight or obese increases the
risks of many diseases and health conditions such as
hypertension, heart disease, Type 2 diabetes, colon cancer,
and more.
Here are some other negative side effects of poor nutrition
and being overweight: You will find you are exhausted all
the time, and your energy level will be extremely low. Your
liver will become unhealthy, and you will need to detoxify
it regularly. You will have huge cravings for food because
of a food addiction. You will have mood swings from being
happy while you are eating and depressed afterwards. Your
blood sugar and cholesterol will be high. Your body fat
ratio will be extremely high. You will continue to gain
weight. You will often be depressed when you overeat.
These distorted beliefs that being fat is healthy often
come from your past generations and immediate family and
you need to let them go if you have them. To ensure that
you feel healthy losing weight, you need to let go of the
following M.E.S.S. blocks to weight loss: "fat protects me
from poor health", "I will be in poor health if I lose
weight"; "thin people get sick; "I will become sick if I
lose too much weight". You will not be able to achieve
permanent weight loss until you let go of these distorted
beliefs.
