Many of us dream of losing weight, and those of us who have tried it at least once know what privations losing the extra pounds may entail.
It is well known that weight reduction requires that the body consume fewer calories than it expends. One would think it is all pretty straightforward: eat less, be more active and stay in good physical shape at all times.
However, we all know from experience that achieving good results can be difficult since most people believe that losing weight is a function of their physique alone and thus disregard the psycho emotional component of the process which is even more relevant.
We seek out nutritionists and cosmetologists and spend years searching for miracle diets. What we often fail to realize is that losing weight involves three mandatory, closely connected components…
These three bodily factors - muscles, the state of internal organs and emotions - which we routinely consider as independent of each other are in fact unified parts of a closely-knit survival mechanism. Any changes in one of these components will necessarily affect the rest of them.
Here's an example: you've been offended by a salesperson in a store. Your irritation level rises, your muscles contract, and your adrenal cortex releases extra hormones which subsequently affect all internal organs. Any changes within the normal processes of the internal organs lead to subtle changes in the subconscious.
This chain reaction inevitably affects the muscle tone (some muscles contract while others relax) and creates an emotional response – and those emotions determine the conscious process of thinking.
Here is yet another example: you have just received good news and smiled. Your sympathetic nervous system calmed down, sphincters relaxed, the digestive function picked up, positive emotions came to the fore. Your thoughts are pleasant and anything seems possible because you are happy.
A human being is a living entity and comprises three inseparable components. When one of them is changed, the other two are immediately affected by that change.
Any successful weight loss effort requires that we reduce the tension and rid ourselves of anxiety, depression and fear, especially if overeating camouflages any internal psychological issues or personal conflicts.
It is well known that as a whole, eating behaviors are complex emotional and psychological processes which are greatly affected by emotional factors. Frequently, irresistible food cravings accompany various neuroses resulting in binge eating with no regard for quantity or quality of the food consumed. The feeling of hunger becomes overwhelming.
Thus over-eating becomes a subconscious dependency, and the stable connection between emotional stress and eating presents a clear symptom.
That cumbersome burden of constant fatigue, apathy and desperation deprives one of self-efficacy and obstructs any conscious effort to combat extra weight…
