Overweight and obesity are in the news every day with claims that over 60% of people have a weight problem. Overweight people are blamed for causing their own weight issues. They’re blamed for eating too much, not exercising enough, not having enough discipline to stay on a diet.
The fact is the 95% of all people who go on diets fail to keep the weight off. Within a few months to a couple of years only 5% of dieters have not regained their weight. This is not because 95% of the population is eating too much, and exercising too little. It’s not because they are eating unhealthy food. The reason is that people are under a lot of stress.
If you look at the statistics showing the people at the top of the economic scale, you’ll find far less obesity and Diabetes Type 2. Although people in higher paid professions do have stress, they have more options to manage their stress. People who are suffering in this economy have far fewer choices for stress relief.
Do You Have Abuse or Trauma In Your Past or Present?
Researchers are discovering that a higher percentage of people who are obese have a history of trauma and abuse in their childhood. In many cases overweight people learned in childhood, that you weren’t ok the way you were. For others, this lesson is learned later in life. When I work with people who are suffering from weight challenges, my first questions are about when they started gaining weight. Invariably, there was a stressful event in their lives that preceded their weight gain.
Is Stress Affecting Your Emotions and Your Physiology
Stress not only sends people for the refrigerator to eat comfort foods, but also changes your biology. Chronic stress slows down your metabolism, as your body changes to make you able to survive. Fight or flight, the stress response, will slow down and stop digestion, and all other normal body functions until the stress is over. For humans with chronic stress, the evidence is seen in belly fat.
Dieting and over-exercising, actually are stressful for your body! Being disgusted with your body and how you look is also stressful. These attempts to dieting will result in slowed weight loss, and a gradual regaining of the weight you struggle to lose.
What’s the answer to obesity and overweight? Look into your past and try to see what started your weight gain. Was it past abuse, or a stressful event in your life? Are you still stressed, or living in an abusive situation?
The First Step To Weight Management
Don’t expect that your body will be able to lose weight and maintain that weight loss until you are able to relieve your stress. If you have a negative mindset, and hate your body, you are sabotaging your ability to lose weight and keep it off. This has been proven with research in brain science. The Law of Attraction also explains that the things upon which your focus are the things you create in your reality. The things you resist, persist!
It will be necessary to change your attitude from fatitud, start nurturing your body, and relieve your stress and transform your mindset. Yes, abuse from others can be damaging. But self-abuse of negative self-talk and mindset can also be sabotaging your ability to lose weight. So stop blaming yourself, and start healing your relationship with your self, and your body. The weight loss will come only after that is in place.
