Obesity ~ Find the underlying cause

This post in my inbox this morning from PACES Connection Weekly Roundup

The full text can be found here

This is a topic close to my heart as I have faced adversity and trauma.

I am obese.

There are many reasons I am obese.

One of them is that I made an unconscious decision to become obese in the hope that I would feign off unwanted attention from males in response to the adversity I faced.

Now that I am aware of the reason why I made the decision to become obese then I am better able to find a way to lose weight.

Dieting and exercise have never provided me with a sustainable solution because as soon as I lost weight then I got the very thing I was avoiding, "male attention".

I looked fabulous but I felt worse because I got male attention.

So I started eating unconsciously determined to put on weight.

My underlying issue was that I did not want male attention

My solution lay in resolving the reason WHY  I did not want male attention

No diet and exercise regime will address that issue

I discovered at the age of 57, a counsellor who resonated with me and one that I can trust

And now I am finally ready to start losing weight

Here are the takeaways for all who read my post:

• Find the underlying reasons why you are obese
• Address those underlying issues
• Keep searching for a counsellor that resonates with you and that you can trust
• Keep reaching out for the support of others, knowledge and answers
