There is one massively hidden weight loss secret. It’s about fear. About our need for protection.
I talk about this a lot. A lot of my writing on here is about the mind set of people who believe they are overweight. And it's because it breaks my heart. This diet world we live in is being run by a billion dollar industry that makes its money from peoples insecurities. It has been estimated our subconscious mind is being directly targeted over a thousand times a day with messages reminding us we are not good enough through media, through advertising, through social media – everywhere we look. This phenomenally wealthy industry is leading us all to believe we must pay ridiculous amounts of money to ‘fix’ ourselves and to be better, because we are not okay as we are. Now, here is why this breaks my heart. All this invasive belief programming from society teaching us to never be okay with our body’s, especially if we are overweight, is creating a mind-consuming fear deep inside us that we are not good enough and need to improve. The very moment you harbour fear within yourself, and before you even consciously realise it, you are setting your body up for protection. Even a small amount of fear, the moment that becomes sensed inside you, you release stress hormones to deal with the threat. These hormones, adrenalin and cortisol, are your protection. Logically it makes sense: when we are afraid, we need protection. We are wired so precisely perfect that unfortunately in this modern world it has become a flaw. When our body is releasing cortisol – a stress response hormone – we cannot release body fat. We cannot burn it, it cannot use it for energy, it physiologically cannot come out of our fat stores. On top of that, cortisol is telling your body to slow down body mechanisms to encourage fat storage. You are literally training yourself to become a perfectly designed fat-storer. So this brings me to fear and protection. If you are being run daily on the fear you are not good enough, the only response to take place is your body needing protection – and it does that through fat storage. If you are working so incredibly hard to be better, look better or lose weight, but can’t budge any body fat…ask yourself what you are afraid of. Ask yourself why you want to lose weight. When you stop the fear, you stop the need for protection, and you no longer need to store body fat. Look inside yourself for the truth and stop your mind being programmed by these companies that need you to hate yourself to make money. You are worth so much more than being run by fear. Watching people try to out run fear is a hard thing to see. You can never out run fear. Fear will never, ever let you win. And I promise you this because I tried out running it for a very long time. You don’t ever beat it, you cant. You keep running and the fear keeps growing. The more fear you harbour, the more protection you need, so the more body fat you store. So please stop running aware from yourself. The moment you stop and look inside yourself to figure out who you really are, that is when you can truly start to fall in love with yourself. And love cancels out fear. You’ve got this, even when you don’t believe you have. Here’s to loving away the fear! Kerri van de Loo x
