| Do you know why all the “experts” have accomplished absolutely nothing in eliminating obesity? It’s because they don’t understand the problem. They’re all focusing on the wrong thing. They are focusing on your weight. But everybody knows that your weight is only a symptom of the problem. If you put too much food in your mouth your weight will increase. That’s wasn’t hard, was it? So what do the “experts” do? They tell you what foods to put in your mouth. They give you diets. They give you recipes. They give you reading material. They hold meetings and let you know that others have the same problem. Everyone commiserates and has a warm feeling of comradeship. Great. What are all these people really doing? They are trying to change your “symptom” – your weight. They are just tinkering with the symptoms. None of them address your real problem. Once again, you do not have a weight problem. You have a problem satisfying your emotional needs. You have been satisfying your emotional needs with food. Once you eliminate your emotional need for food your weight problem disappears – PERMANENTLY. It is really that simple. Think of it as the invention of the wheel. Before the wheel was invented it must have been extremely difficult to move things from one place to the next. However, once the wheel was invented it became very easy to move things. It’s the same way with your weight. Once you learn how to stop using food to satisfy your emotional needs, weighing what you want to weigh is REALLY EASY. Look at what you do it other situations. When you get a pain in your tooth or in your body you go to your dentist or doctor and ask for medicine to eliminate whatever it is that is causing your pain. You don’t just ask for pain medicine. You know that once the infection or disease that is causing the pain is eliminated the pain will automatically disappear. When your kids got the measles you didn’t look around for spot remover. You wanted to eliminate what was causing the spots to occur. It’s the same with weight. Once you eliminate the things that caused you to put all that food in your mouth your weight problem will disappear, just as the pain or the measles. The “experts” advertise all their “success stories”. We all know that’s not enough. I think they should be compelled to advertise how many people take their course, how much those people paid for the course, how many people quit, how many people didn’t “lose weight”, how many people “gained back” the weight they thought they lost and lots of other things you should know. It isn’t fair just to talk about the good news. They should tell you everything. The published statistics indicate that only a tiny fraction of all people who go on diets or programs permanently weigh less. The odds aren’t good on tinkering with the symptoms. |
