Are you concerned about how your life will change once you create your dream body? It is very common for anyone undergoing the weight loss process to worry over how their lives will change once they lose weight. Concerns over change in appearance can stem from many different core issues. Concerns over how your life might change when you are at your ideal body weight are best addressed early in your weight loss process. As with all emotional issues, you will feel lighter when you face them and let them go. Carrying around needless worries will only weigh you down and can delay or even prevent you from succeeding.
Weight Loss group members have reported worry over how becoming physically fit and more attractive will impact their relationships, careers, and many other parts of their lives. Some feel a big change in their appearance might enhance their marriage and/or relationships, but others worry that this change could put their relationships in jeopardy.
Group members cited the following concerns regarding how their weight loss might effect their relationships:
1. Some worried that they would be more likely to cheat on their personal relationships once they became fit and felt more attractive.
2. Others felt that their own weight loss might hurt the feelings of an overweight spouse, family member, or friend.
3. Many expressed concern that their sudden unwillingness to engage in former ritualistic eating habits with spouses, family members, co-workers, and friends would cause friction.
4. Individuals who had experienced past sexual abuse, were concerned that losing excess weight might make them a target to abusers. For these individuals, it seems that they have actually attempted to “insulate” themselves from perceived threats to their safety.
No matter what reasons you have given yourself for overeating in the past, you can choose now to see that overeating never helped you to overcome any problem, to feel less depressed, to be safer, or to improve your relationships with others. All that overeating serves to do is to slow down your energy flow and to put you at risk of obesity and health issues.
Since we have all been inappropriately programmed to turn to food to quench emotional fires and to “make us feel better,” it might be helpful to realize that this unintentional programming worked like negative self-hypnosis. For many of us, it is helpful to dehypnotize ourselves from old thoughts and behaviors that have resulted in dysfunctional eating. Dehypnotizing begins when you are conscious of what you eat and fully aware of the true effects the food will have on your body, mind, and spirit. When you go through this process you automatically begin to take control of your eating.
Once you have dehypnotized yourself, it is much easier to lose weight. All the programs in my FIT FAST Weight Loss Program are designed to help you subtly dehypnotize yourself and to replace inappropriate eating with new, helpful thoughts and behaviors toward food helping you to create your dream body.
