| Once the “need” to put food in your mouth is gone you become free. You become a free person insofar as food is concerned. The very minute that you free yourself of the “need” to put food in your mouth, you are in complete control of eating and your weight. Let’s keep in mind that you are really unhappy weighing what you do and you would do almost anything to weigh 30 pounds less. The only thing that is keeping you at your present weight is that you are eating for emotional reasons. Once the emotional “need” is gone you will no longer eat for emotional reasons. Once that happens you are free to eat just for intellectual reasons. What does that mean? It means everything. You will then choose what to eat based on what makes you happy. The difference is that you will not be looking at what you eat emotionally. O.K., so what will make you happy? Weighing 30 pounds less will make you happy. So that is exactly what you will do. You will weigh 30 pounds less. Will you be on a diet? Of course not. The very word “diet” assumes that you are depriving yourself of foods that you really want to eat. Because you no longer have any “need” for any specific foods, you won’t care very much at all about what you eat. Food will no longer be very important to you. You won’t care if you miss dessert or don’t get a second helping or even miss a meal entirely. Remember, it’s just food. It will no longer have an emotional component. Food will no longer play a big role in your life. It’s just food. Therefore, you will not be depriving yourself of anything because it won’t make a bit of difference to you if you don’t have any particular foods in your mouth. You are eating to make yourself happy. You will be eating to weigh 30 pounds less. You will find that it is the easiest thing in the world to do. You will be so happy eating less you won’t believe it. You’ve never been in control of what you eat. You ate all the food you emotionally had to eat. Not any more. After all, eating this way is what you always wanted and now you can do it without any problem. You will begin to look at overweight people and think they are crazy for weighing so much. You will want to help them achieve what you have achieved. Yes, you will become a free person. Free to weigh whatever you want to weigh. |
