Identifying The Wall of Excess Weight
Day 1/21 A Course in Weight Loss
After writing Spirituality Made Me Fat yesterday, I understand the importance of documenting this new adventure. If I’m honest, I am struggling like made with the term, weight loss as it conjures all sorts in my mind. I know it stems from something I read or heard about many years ago. However, I cannot remember where or when.
I have in my head the association to “loss” that my mind has distinctly infused into my everyday thinking. If I “lose” something, my subconscious and conscious mind want to find it. Therefore if I lose weight, my subconscious mind will want to find it, and in my experience, it finds way more for good measure, and my conscious mind is only too willing to help!
I thought about changing the terminology, but the title of the book is A Course In Weight Loss, so it seems pretty stupid for me to change the terminology. Maybe this in itself is a nudge to not make mountains out of molehills and to go with the flow without attachment?
Deciding to approach this new adventure with curiosity is definitely intriguing to me. I have always wanted to be more curious and detached from specific outcomes, but when it comes to something this close to my heart, is it possible not to become so attached to the desired result? Can I really be the person who doesn’t…
