Are there Some Things That are Holding You Back from Dropping Pounds?

By Vito La Fata


Have you tried to lose weight but have found it difficult or even impossible? There are many things that can keep you from losing weight. Sometimes it is hard to uncover what those things are. They can be any of a number of different things.

Did you know that dealing with modern type stresses such as being unable to pay your mortgage can cause your body to release the same kind of chemicals that are released when you are in danger of starving to death or freezing to death? What this does is to tell your body that you need to hold onto fat in order to be as safe as possible. If you do not approach weight loss from the inside, you may miss those threats that affect you mentally and emotionally that keep you from losing weight.

Fear of Scarcity: When you spend your time in fear that you don't have enough money then you send a message to your body that resources are limited. The only resource that your body recognizes is food- and storing fat is how your body saves up.

Emotional obesity is another threat that may be keeping you in a state of being overweight. Without even realizing it you may have the mindset that carrying around extra weight keeps you safe. In fact, you may think that it helps you in other emotional ways. If this is true, then this may be a reason that you continue to be fat.

Yet another threat may be mental. Physical starvation is not the only kind of starvation that there is. You could be starving in an emotional or mental way. Deep down you may be seeking love or joy. This longing could make your body release chemicals that are similar to physical starvation, which may drive you to over eat.

Another area to consider is whether you have dysfunctional beliefs. It is possible that somehow you consider yourself unworthy to be slim and trim. If this is true, then you may, without realizing it, do things to keep yourself overweight.
