I think one of the most distressing things for my clients is the feeling that they can’t trust themselves. They have lost faith in their ability to do what they say they are going to do, what they long to do, what they are desperate to do.
It’s a terrible feeling when you can’t keep your promises to yourself- it’s demoralizing, shaming, and makes you want to indulge in the behaviors you are trying so hard to change.
Believe me I get it. It’s great to be in a “normal-sized” body, but in many ways the deeper more meaningful benefit is knowing I can keep my commitments to myself. I can set an intention around the way I choose to feed and nourish myself, and have that become the reality.
As always, I believe the remedy must be mostly spiritual versus physical.
If you start with the food, and make it be about weight loss or weight management or whatever you want to call it, it’s most likely you will fail. You have been there too many times. Try something different.
Finding your inspiration to “go higher”, to become closer to your Higher Self, to live more connected to your ideals and beliefs, is something you can begin to consider. I know it is not your Ideal to be out of control with food. That is NOT who you truly are, and it’s essential that you begin to be curious about this other part of you. The part that can connect with Divine Guidance, the part that holds the Divine Spark, the part that believes in something beyond where you are struggling.
I have said many times before; I believe the struggles with eating/weight are our personal “Firewalk”. It is the thing you have been given to move through in order to connect with your Higher Self- the divine plan that is just for you. It is essentially a spiritual journey.
In case you don’t know this about me, I am not religious. But I surely do believe in a Divine Source that wants more for me (and of course for you!!). See how you can connect with yours and let me know. Let yourself believe that this struggle can be a walk through limitation towards a new connection with yourself and the love and divinity in and around you.
I want that for you.
Wishing you love and every blessing-
