Heaviness: A Deeper Meaning

If there is something crucially important I’ve learned through all my years as a pleasurable weight loss coach, it is this:

Heaviness, or being overweight, is a more profound condition than it appears to be.

Many mainstream diet industry folks would have you believe that external conditions are the root causes of heaviness (i.e. a faulty diet, inadequate exercise and “improper” body functioning).

But the real roots of heaviness lie far deeper than these external factors…

They come from your inner world.

Physical heavinessoften points clearly, and undeniably, to major emotional heaviness!

Whoa… Physical and Emotional Heaviness Are Connected?

Yes, madam! They sure are.

Heaviness, or extra pounds, are usually a physical indicator of an emotional heaviness that exists somewhere in your life.

The link between your physical and emotional life is tremendously powerful. So much so, that it would be monumentally beneficial for your weight shedding if you released the people, things, places and situations that emotionally (and therefore, physically!) are weighing you down.

Darling, anything that weighs you down makes you feel… yucky.

Heavyyyy.

Overloaded.

Burdened!

Encumbered.

Blecchhh!

Do you see where I’m going with this?

Slimming down *permanently* is about more than just dropping the extra pounds –

It’s about releasing the burdens and the baggage, that “weigh” your heart and mind (and physiology) down!

Dear sister, to lighten up your figure, you’ve got to lighten up your life.

How Lightening Up Works

Your female body is an intelligent, deeply perceptive and exquisitely sensitive creature.

When “she,” your body, perceives that you are emotionally stressed or mentally burdened by a person, place, situation, etc., she will instinctively pack on the pounds, as a primitive act of self-protection.

This is because your body’sevolutionary job is to make sure you survive, thrive and… experience pleasure!

Pleasure is not just for the birds, my dear.

Pleasure helps your body relax.

Relaxing cues your body’s “slimming” physiological functions. Some of these are…

• managing your weight
• assuaging your appetite
• balancing your cravings
• burning your extra fat

You already have an entire “slim down!” metabolism, right under your nose. It is activated by the kick-butt act of lightening up! Lightening up your life will bring your body, mind and spirit tremendous pleasure!

By the way, isn’t it crazy to realize our culture teaches women that it’s admirable to weigh herself down with other’s problems, other’s workloads, other’s care?

Meanwhile, if a woman wants to succeed at slimming down (and oh, I dunno, be happy), she’s got to go against the grain and do exactly the opposite: she’s got to lighten up on all the obligations and burdens, and brazenly reach for her OWN pleasure – first and foremost!

Which is actually good news, both for you and the evolution of our culture.

Your Guide to Lightening Up (and Slimming Down)

Your lightening up may not happen in an instant, after you finish reading this blog.

After all, it’s likely taken you quite a few years to build up all the extra emotional and physical heaviness you are bearing within.

However, luckily, it can take a lot less time for you to releaseyour heaviness and lighten up your life and your body.

This is because you have the support of a pleasurable weight loss community.

You have a rockin’ guide (wink, wink).

And you have your built-in body wisdom.

Sister, you have these 3 allies your side, cheering you on as you lighten up your life! You can do it!

As a fourth ally, here’s a “lightening up” questionnaire, for you to take a bite of in the comments below.

1. What areas of your life are really heavy, burdensome and weighingyoudown? (You can share as much, or as little, as you desire.)

2. In what ways can you begin to lighten up, and consequently, slim down?
(E.g. Release a relationship that does not expand your joy,
gradually let go of a business project that you are not truly excited about,
shed an exercise regime that doesn’t light you up,
drop the “lone ranger” approach and ask for help with a personal desire, etc.)

I’m looking forward to your wondrous feedback. Every facet of your story is welcome here on this pleasurable, en-lightening, path to slimming.

Seeing the Light in You,
