Weight loss client of mine comes in today, she lost 5 lbs. last week and is very frightened and concerned. She says the slim down program I started her with last week has been very easy and she has not been hungry and so I ask the question, "what are you frightened and concerned about then?" She tells me she is certain she will screw it up, her success at weight loss, "I have never been able to lose weight and keep it off, as a matter of fact all my life, if I lose 5 pounds I will immediately gain it back plus a few pounds more."
Further investigation by me finds that when she was 12 years old she had a big fight with her mother who told her she was too fat and that if she did not lose the weight she would be fat her entire life. She became very angry with her mother and she did not lose that weight and this became a big life long issue between her and her mother which put a big chill on their mother daughter relationship. She went on to tell me that every time she loses any weight she hears her mother's voice in her head, "you will be fat your entire life." So now that she has had a successful weight loss week with me she hears her mother's voice in her head from that age 12 mother daughter battle. That fight with her mother some 40 years ago is as alive in her head today as it was when it happened, actually it is probably more vibrant and more alive as she has had 40 years to replay and rehearse the event.
She has successfully created very strong neuro-chemical pathways in her brain locking in this highly negative and charged emotional memory. So I think to myself, this is a time for DEEP release, and its funny, as I think that thought I see in my mind a picture of Clark Kent (really he is superman you know) preparing to change into his superman outfit. This is how I feel when I shift into the DEEP Release mode in preparation to erase a highly charged negative emotion. So I say to my very anxious patient who is really fearful of sabotaging her success, I say, "Kelly, would you like to let go of the negative emotions you still hold around this memory of the mean spirited words your mother said to you?" With tears suddenly flowing she nods her head in reservation and within 12 minutes of DEEP Release she was totally and completely at peace with this 40 year old memory, she forgave her mother for what she had said and Kelly forgave herself for holding on to all this anger and fear all these years . Actually her mother said those words once but Kelly beat herself up with them over and over again for 40 years.
When we were done she no longer had the belief nor the fear that she would gain weight back. The event of 40 years ago was a huge driver as to why she stayed overweight all these years. We may very well find more beliefs and attitudes and charged emotions with Kelly in the days to come but today's session was a breakthrough and I have no doubt she will lose the desired weight, reach her target goal and keep the pounds off.
At our 30/10 Weight Loss For Life facility we are about "weight loss for life" , our slim down programs are really good, but you know, we are mind-body beings and the reason most folks gain the weight back is because they have not addressed the other half of this equation. In my opinion most weight gain and weight loss issues have strong emotional drivers that need to be handled/erased and its really not that difficult when DEEP Release comes to the rescue. It's a bird, it's a plane , it's ...
