Forgive the infractions

Forgiveness is the linchpin of my weight management practice and seminars. One of the problems of over weight is that when we overeat, we beat ourselves up. We feel guilty.

So we feel depressed.

And what do we do when we feel depressed?

We overeat.

Reminds me of the alcoholic who said, "I drink to forget."
He was asked, "And what do want to forget?"
"I fogot," he replied...

And the vicious cycle of overeating, regret, guilt, feeling down, and then overeating because you're down continues.

I recommend forgiving, and releasing to counter such guilt based eating. I also suggest to my clents to enjoy whatever they eat. If you want that desert eat it with total relish and enjoyment. That way perhaps you'll eat only half and share the other half with a loved one.

Note: When you feel guilty about food you'll not be satisfied.

The best way of forgiving yourself is to forgive someone who has harmed you first. The three position forgiveness is a great way to forgive.
