I am experimenting with several things right now to see what
works regarding becoming lighter, and I am less desperate about that.
As I go along in a transitioning state, I remember
Abraham/Hicks saying, “Don’t pay attention to what others think.” I think that is difficult for many of us
since we have been trained to please other people. That not caring or giving a
rip about what other’s might think of you, is a challenge due to the skinny
ideal bodies on the media. During an
interview with Melissa McCarthy her response to her weight loss was, “I stopped
trying so hard and just started to embrace my life.” I could see Melissa dress better and she
seemed to grow in confidence. I think
she started accepting and liking herself at a deeper level.
My body is all about energy and how I feel: It
really doesn’t include anyone else. For
me, what doesn’t work, is trying to lose weight for someone else. What does work is asking myself questions and
waiting for really good answers. I will start with a few questions I have been
using. All these questions might turn
into a work book in about a year.
Slipping into something more comfortable might mean side
stepping resistance by saying “it would be nice to lose at least 3 pounds a
month.” Esther calls that the wouldn’t
it be nice exercise. I have some beliefs
about weight loss, and one of those seems to be fear of weight loss. Somewhere within me my weight serves a
purpose, but I really need to know what that is so I can negotiate with that
ego place. So my first question is: What does being heavier do for me? What is it that I gain from this state of
being? I am working on those answers
and getting somethings back. I will
share later.
Recently, I asked myself what do I need to do today to lose
5 pounds this month? That is straight
forward. I found a calorie counting
book. Calorie counting should work. I have found it doesn’t work if I am eating
for emotional reasons or having diabetic cravings. So for me that looks like managing my
diabetes, stabilizing my emotions and eating a high vibratory diet. That all makes sense and when I eat out, I am
choosing the least amount of calories but I make sure it is a “happy meal.” I like eating it.
Personally I have type 2 diabetes and some mood swings. Those two create an amusement park ride for
me. (I created it) Esther Hicks book, “Ask and it is Given”, says that when you
ask for something, there is a virtual reality version of it that is
created. The question is this; when will
you line up with that new reality and leave the past behind? You might have a virtual million dollars in
the bank but what side of you will allow that to happen and spend it? It might be better for someone with lots of
weight to lose to concentrate on other goals like bringing in a great deal of
money. That seems easier in many ways.
In the mean time I am trying fun new things. I am trying fresh new strategies with less urgency
and less taking score of failed attempts.
I only track the successes right now.
That might be one pound less or just feeling lighter. That
leads to another question. I got on the scale and it was three pounds down from
last time. After doing a happy dance I
had to ask, what did I do this week to manifest this? What went right? What worked here? That is a great question to ask and answer.
What causes diabetes anyway?
The medical people don’t know for sure.
I feel it has everything to do with the American diet but perhaps there
is more. I am reading a book that speaks
of the assault on the whole endocrine system due to stress. We live in a stressful world. This can cause adrenal fatigue and eating
lots of animal products is not helping. This in turn causes the enzymes not to
work and the adrenal glands. There is
really a cluster of things that cause the pancreas to function poorly over
time. That is a lengthy discussion. The
question I ask myself is, how can I relax more and enjoy this day more? I can almost imagine the little fat cells
smiling and ridding themselves of excess.
It is that nice feeling of cleaning out a closet and taking the old
stuff to a thrift store. I don’t have to
hang on to outworn things.
I am experimenting and asking questions. I look at my thoughts and beliefs and try and
reason with my inner self to let go of old and useless things. I ask for fresh new energetic ideas to flow to
me and inspire me. I am also asking to
slip into a lighter version of my body.
This one skips through the day and does not feel burdened down. When someone is overweight it is hard on
joints to carry that fat suit around all day.
So maybe my last question for this blog is, do I really need to do
that? I cannot lose 60 pounds overnight
so I will have to be accepting that my body is doing its best to deal with
extra weight. I really want to dance more,
float through my day more, have more energy throughout the day. I do look in the mirror and appreciate that I
have a body that functions well and is rather graceful in spite of all that it
lives through. I accept that little tiny
changes are happening each day and I move into a lighter self in increments.
There are so many more questions to ask. I will have more to say in the near future. So far this is helping me a great deal and I
wanted to share it all. Slipping into a healthier size and way of being is easier than I ever imagined.
