​Hello ,

Many of us refuse to let go of our overeating as a coping tool, even though the costs outweigh the benefits. It’s often because we’re receiving deeper payoffs from the behavior. These are called secondary gains. Because of these secondary gains, we may feel ambivalent about losing weight and moving forward. This ambivalence often shows up as self-sabotage.

Ambivalence can be confusing. We may say we want something, like losing weight, and yet fear it as well. This results in us saying one thing, yet doing another. It’s important to question and look below the surface of these fears. Upon closer inspection, these fears are often irrational. We need to ask ourselves, “What’s the worst thing that can happen?” 

We need to acknowledge these feelings and move forward anyway. As we proceed along our weight loss journey, we see that we have blown many of these fears out of proportion. We do have the inner resources to handle the challenges that come our way.

Many women use weight as a protective device. It can be a buffer and boundary. For some women, being overweight makes them feel safe from unwanted advances and keeps them from feeling vulnerable. They like feeling invisible. Weight may be the way they say no to intimacy in their lives. It may also be a way of saying no to taking bigger risks in life, growing up, or it can be a way of getting even with certain people. It can also be a form of rebellion.

Fall is the season of letting go. We need to let go of what’s not working to clear a space for the new to manifest in our lives.

Question

What behaviors, attitudes, fears, beliefs, people, and situations do you need to let go of in order to have a healthier relationship with food, your body, and your life?
