你真的準備好要釋放體重了嗎？

人們在減輕、擺脫體重時，為何會努力掙扎的其中一個最常見的理由就是他們正在內心對抗自己。其中一部分(通常是他們的意識心智) 強烈希望擺脫他們多餘的體重。他們渴望有苗條、健康、強壯、性感的身材，而且可以付出任何代價來享有它。但另一層面(你可以這麼稱它為潛意識) 卻反對這個主意。

如果你懷疑這也許對你來說是個問題，這裡確實有幾個線索可得知：

1) 對於變瘦這個想法，你同時感到興奮和緊張

正當你喜愛這個變瘦、苗條的點子時，你可能也在思考時經歷憂慮的陣痛期。你可能在你的身體多餘重量中毫無緩衝下，感到有那麼點受傷、不被遮蔽、或不受保護。

2) 你不斷地破壞你自己的努力來減重

你告訴自己你要開始運動、放棄垃圾食品、不喝加糖飲料諸如此類的，但片刻之間，你就在吃喝這些你發誓要放棄的食物。或者，你是有意圖要運動了，但隨後就想了一堆你無法今天就運動的理由 - 而非得要明天才能開始。

3) 你用「沒有意志力」來打敗自己

了解意志力在這裡並不構成問題是很重要的 - 真正的問題是你的內心有個東西不想釋放這些脂肪，因為它在服侍一個重要的目的。因此你的兩面在互相攻擊 - 而且較有力的一方 (通常是潛意識害怕或相信必須要抓住多餘的體重) 會在每一次勝出。

有太多理由說明你為何要保有多餘的體重。你也許會覺得沒有它們會很受傷，好比說，你失去了保護來面對你人生中恐懼的一面。或者，你可能用多餘的重量當成藉口，那麼你就不用走出自己的舒適圈去面對恐懼。你甚至可能把這些多餘的重量成為一種吸引別人注意的方法。

唯有透過專注的自省，你才會確切了解到為何你一直在對抗減重 - 而你才會開始改善你的想法、釋放受限的信念，而且最後才能終了內心的糾戰並且好好的減重。

今日的自我肯定：
敞開我的意識與心扉進入這清晰純徹的光。

Are You Really Ready to Release the Weight?

One of the most common reasons why people struggle to lose weight and keep it off is because they are waging an inner battle against themselves. One part of them (usually their conscious mind) desperately wants to be rid of their excess weight. They yearn for a slim, healthy, strong, sexy body and would give anything to have it. But another part of them (you might call it their subconscious mind) resists the idea.

If you suspect that this might be an issue for you, here are a few clues to find out for sure:

1) You feel simultaneously excited and nervous about the thought of being thin.

While you love the idea of being fit and trim, you may also experience a twinge of apprehension when you think about it. You may feel somewhat vulnerable, exposed or unprotected without the buffer of excess pounds on your body.

2) You constantly sabotage your own efforts to lose weight.

You tell yourself that you are going to start exercising, give up junk food, cut out sugary drinks and the like, but within moments you are eating and drinking the very things you vowed to give up. Or you have every intention of exercising but then keep coming up with tons of excuses why you can't today - you'll start fresh tomorrow.

3) You beat yourself up for having "no willpower".

It's important to understand that willpower is not the problem here - the true problem is that something deep inside of you does not want to release the fat because it is serving an important purpose. So, those two parts of yourself are fighting against each other - and the more powerful part (which is usually the subconscious fears or beliefs that need to hold onto the extra pounds) will win every time.

There are endless reasons why you may be holding onto your excess pounds. You may feel too vulnerable without them, like you would have no protection against the scary aspects of your life. Or you may be using the excess weight as an excuse so that you don't have to step out of your comfort zone and face other fears. You may even be using the excess pounds as a way to get attention from other people.

Only through dedicated introspection will you know for sure why you are resisting weight loss - and you can then begin the process of improving your thoughts, releasing limiting beliefs, and finally end the inner battle and lose the weight for good.

Today's affirmation:
I open my mind and heart to the light of clarity.
