Hello Loves,
As you know, I’m a healer around weight loss.
I show women who can’t fit into their clothes who are struggling with weight gain and out-of-control cravings how to conquer their cravings, lose the weight and live the life of their dreams!
Here’s the thing. So many of us are so scared about giving up certain foods. We think they are so important for coping with life and for connecting with the people around us. I told a co-worker of mine that I wasn’t going to order a sundae from Friendly’s because I wasn’t eating ice cream and she actually started crying.
She cried for me that I couldn’t eat ice cream and she cried for the thought of how bereft her life would be without it.
Now, I love this woman and I get that she loves ice cream.
But.
What I have found being a healer around weight loss is that while our attachment to a certain foods is a combination of many things, there are several core issues I run into again and again.
By addressing both the physiologic addiction and the deep emotional component of weight loss I am able to get amazing results for my clients.
Our bodies WANT to eat well and feel good. They really do.
We have just been co-opted by food that is manufactured to make us want it even when it isn’t good for us.
We are actually so addicted to that food it has infiltrated our own operating-system – like a virus and even taken over our intuition and body awareness about what foods we want to eat! We choose to not notice how terrible the food makes us feel and continue eating it. Which is crazy, but new research on addiction says that’s what the addiction does. It sneaks in and overwhelms our instincts and desire to survive and thrive and replaces it with the need to get the drug/food. Uggh!
But this can be CLEARED!
We also have an emotional attachment to keep eating the way we do-usually this is deep and needs to be uncovered.
We don’t want to get kicked out of the tribe and many have a fear of being ostracized if we lose weight and eat differently from how we were raised or those around us.
Also, many of us are frightened deep down of becoming more of a target for more sexual attention from dangerous men (our current outpouring of stories of #metoo show you how many women have been hurt and many unconsciously believe by getting bigger they will be safer.)
This was one of the reasons I “couldn’t” lose my pregnancy weight. Unconsciously I loved not being subjected to as much male attention and expectation.
(Obviously this is misguided and women of all shapes and sizes are assaulted and plenty of women who are large are also gorgeous, confident and sexy, but our unconscious mind sometimes goes to great lengths to protect us in irrational ultimately not-helpful ways!)
These issues can CLEARED!
So, when someone signs up with me for healing their weight loss issues – they have to be ready to go deep and do some work. Sure, we talk about what to eat, but most of the work that allows weight to come off and stay off is deep inner work.
I have a gift for helping women hone in, find and clear those areas that have been holding them back.
So much joy and freedom is available when we are finally free of those unconscious blocks and beliefs that are holding us back. It really feels miraculous.
