Positive affirmations really do work. Without realizing it you move in the direction that you think. If you think you will fail, you will move in that direction in small steps. And conversely you will take small steps towards success if you believe you are successful. It doesn't mean that bad things won't happen in life, but your ability to overcome obstacles will be affected by your attitude towards those obstacles. Great article!!

Thank you so much Jada for your wonderful comments. Everything you said is so true, and I'm realizing that the "general sense of inadequacy" you mentioned, the low self esteem is the core of all the issues of our lives. It's not about food or eating or weight, it's about loving ourselves no matter where we are, and seeing ourselves as the blessed beings of light we came here to be. Thank you for taking the time to comment. I deeply appreciate it. Have a wonderful and blessed holiday season!

Much love,
Tigerlily

dear tigerlily...

I've read some of your posts and I must say I can relate. Most people just accept their overweight bodies as socially normal, few people really strive for change, so kudos to you on that point alone. I was pretty thin my whole life until I got pregnant with my daughter, my significant other cheated on me, left me...life got hard after that. Food became an obsession, and I realized after much reading and soul searching that my obsession with food had nothing to do with hunger...it was a way to suppress anxiety, it was something to think about rather than think about the real issues in my life...my personal problems, my low selfesteem, the job that I hate, my general sense of inadequacy...anyways I realized that when I stopped obsessing over food, I would have find other things to think about all day long! New hobbies, interests, it even led to me throwing my back into work (at the job I hate) and to my surprise it felt great to come home twice as exhausted from work as before.
The other biggest thing I've learned is to LISTEN to my body, rather than try and make it listen to me. My body is smarter than I am. Pay attention to the way things feel...for instance, ever feel like a big sack of crap after eating a bunch of junk food? compare that feeling to having fresh steamed veggies for dinner. energy soars, even my mood improves. replace soda and coffee and energy drinks with green tea. the caffeine is natural, you don't crash hours later.
Another thing I had to do was learn to love working out. At first it sucked, oh man it sucked. I tried running, tried to like it and I even got pretty good at it (for me) but I just hated it. Taking a bike out on a trail on the other hand, that's heaven. I love my aerobics classes too, they combine cardio, strength, stretching with music and companionship. I've seen the most results from aerobics.
A word about hunger: I went two years without feeling hunger. That's how much I was eating. Forget all the rules you know about eating six meals a day, etc. let yourself get hungry, stay hungry for a little while. you're not gonna drop dead, it's perfectly healthy and normal to get hungry, and your body is equipped to handle it by using other resources. just make sure you don't get weak and dizzy that's too hungry lol.
Do what truly feels good, accept that there may be setbacks, weight loss is a journey it doesn't happen overnight. I really like your analogy about the old suit it is so true...sometimes I think we can't lose weight because we wouldn't recognize the person in the mirror if we did. I have been thin before though, and it felt great. I have to remember how it felt.
Anyways, my point is, keep up the good work, do the things that feel good, make it a FUN journey you never wanna quit. So at the end of the day, even if you're not at your ideal weight, at least you'll feel like you're getting somewhere. Best of luck!

Hello Tiger Lily: Thanks for your continuing posts. Always inspiring. Are you aware of the set of guided meditations that Abe just did? Amazon is pre-selling them now and they'll be shipping in a week. I for one am really counting on the physical body meditation to help me line up my energy around my weight issue. Even though I am in the vortex a lot and feel wonderful most of the time, my body still hangs on to 100+ extra pounds. Sheesh.
