Weight Loss - An Addiction? Useful Facts to Remember

Let me explain it first in simple terms. You do everything you do because you think it will make you happy or feel good.

The human is gifted with the capacity to interpret 400 billions pieces of data per second, where as our conscious awareness only 2000 pieces of data. To the layperson that’s a pretty remarkable feat. The speed, at which the data is received, interpreted and responded to, goes far beyond the imagination and the body goes quietly about its job without ever missing a beat.

It is as though there is a seamless flow from one moment to the next but in actuality what you have been doing has a real effect on the emergence of what comes to the present, or the moment of now and it disappears leaving room for the next pocket of energy fulfilling the next appearance of now.

May I recommend two of my favorite authors who are bringing light to this subject matter, research cellular biologist, Dr. Bruce Lipton, PhD author of Biology of Belief and Evolve Your Brain, by brain scientist Dr. Joe Dispenza, DC. These fabulous books will enlighten you in very exciting ways giving you a sense of new freedom, and possibility.

Your system learns at a very early age what it needs to do to survive according to the beliefs and assumptions it has been given by you. The criteria for response has everything to do with learned instructions and if the action taken works it will continue to respond consistently to those patterns of success.

A puppy dog who may have been smacked across the nose by it’s owner, the reason being irrelevant, will quickly back away anytime it recognizes the hand going up in an apparent repeat of that earlier action. It becomes a learned automatic response not a conscious choice. Animals have a keen sense for reading the vibration of people and animals in their environment. It seems to know friend or foe based on whether it senses a threat and at a biological level, these seemingly instant interpretations cause the signals to the brain releasing adrenalin to every cell I in the body.

The average computer user cannot understand how it is that you can hit the return key and Google will track in lightening speed a seemingly endless set of matches. The human capacity has infinitely greater capacities.

So how is being over weight an addiction? For the person who is in constant need of changing their appearance, actually gives attention to the subject implicitly or explicitly thereby making it real. What you give attention to becomes real. The physical structure always is reminding you that you are over weight even when you are not directly thinking about it even though you might have an entire list of reasons why you desire to lose weight. Let’s say you think you would have a better chance of finding a relationship if you were thin. And if you had a relationship, you think you would feel better about yourself, happy in fact.

The addiction is to the belief that you are not lovable the way you are (overweight) and you know yourself to be a person who is overweight.

The addiction is the constant desire to change your appearance. And what you are addicted to becomes real or remains real. The more you want to feel good about yourself, perhaps by having someone love you, the more you resist being overweight, the brain signals to yours cells to survive the appearance as you know it. It’s a circular trap.

The reason I used this example is because it has many variations, we can have very complex stories about our identity. This of course is to just give you a taste of how we can do things to rid ourselves of unwanted behaviors yet the net effect becomes counter productive and worse it can strengthen our biological resiliency to protect the appearance of who we are. It doesn’t make any moral or judgmental interpretations.

You might discover that almost everything we do in life is for reasons other than what we think. The great news is this. The single most deliberate thing you can do to provide you with the fundamental desires you have in life is to pursuit happiness. Sounds strange perhaps but to seek happiness and joy for no apparent reason will over a short period bring about the situations and circumstances you’ve been wanting.

And when you can learn to let go of the constant grip you have on the ‘negative’ emotions you feel, you will find those unwanted yet persisting aspects you experience, clear up just in the process of life itself.
