Stop Telling Yourself It's Too Hard To Lose Weight by Kathryn Martyn, M.NLP

Stop Telling Yourself it's Too Hard to Lose Weight

Telling yourself you have to "struggle with this

weight issue for the rest of my life," is as good

as telling yourself there's no point in trying.

"Why bother? I'll just gain it right back. It's no

use. I might as well eat more cake. Poor me. Life

is hard. You know the drill. Life's a beach.

Stop the struggle by stopping the self talk that

supports the struggle. You've heard it before -

what you focus on is what you receive. No where is

that more true than in believing it is a struggle

to stay healthy. Who would want to be healthy if

it's such a horrible struggle? Yet, you've

probably seen people who are fit, healthy and

happy? You might even know a few. They seem to

bounce when they walk. They're animated, and

excited about life, and no, if you asked them,

they wouldn't say it's a struggle. "What do you

mean," they'd ask? Struggle? Nah, I like it this

way," and they'd mean it.

Forget the notion that you have to struggle and

eat celery sticks for dinner. It's not true.

Despite the fact that you've lost the weight

before and gained it right back too, despite your

belief that you can't even look at food without

gaining weight. All of those thoughts are just

more beliefs that are keeping you stuck. What you

focus on becomes your reality.

What if You Never Got Hungry?

I'm a prime example. I don't struggle. Some days I

eat a lot. Some days not so much. Some days very

little. Yesterday I ate my usual breakfast and

then, strangely, I just didn't feel hungry all

day. I felt different somehow. Not ill, but I just

didn't want to eat. "What's up with this?," I

thought to myself, but I decided to just ride it

out and see what happened. Well, I'm here to tell

you that nothing happened. I lived to tell another

story, see another day. Nothing fell from the sky

and the world didn't stop spinning because I

didn't eat much yesterday. It was just another

day.

Today I ate a few handfuls of malted milk balls.

No big deal to me, but I know many of you are

thinking, "I'd never be able to eat just some, I'd

have to eat them all," and that is my point.

Telling yourself you can't eat "some," or as many

as you want, but that you believe you'd be

compelled to eat them all, no matter how many

there were is a belief that is keeping you stuck.

I don't believe that to be true, and so, for me it

is not true.

Changing a Fundamental Belief with EFT

How do you change a fundamental belief? You start

with basic EFT using it for everything that comes

up, even though it may not seem related. Every

worry, fear, doubt, struggle. Use it on

everything, and those issues that do make a

difference in your eating will start dissolving

away. Try it - what have you got to lose but some

weight?

What's EFT? It's Emotional Freedom Training and

it's taking the world by storm as an easy, self

administered practice to help reduce or eliminate

the emotional issues that keep us stuck. Free

information available at EmoFree.com. I added EFT

to my toolkit as soon as I learned it because it's

easy to learn, easy to use, and it's effective.

Remember those healthy folks I mentioned earlier?

They don't view how they eat or how much they

exercise as a struggle at all. They are active

because they want to be active, and they eat foods

that make them feel great. They probably eat a lot

of the same things you eat too - I'm talking about

everyday folks who have learned to feel good about

themselves. None of them are perfect - despite the

common belief that there is some "perfect" body,

it's just not true. Everyone has a wrinkle here,
