Losing weight is for a lot of people something that feels like a struggle in many ways. It may seem like something that just dont work however hard they try. All sorts of diets are being tested and for one reason or the other the body temple stays the same. Sometimes the person isnt able to follow through and at other times the diets simply dont give the results that is desired.
This is most likely because you have focused too much on the action part of losing weight, while not paying any attention to what is at the core of your disability to lose weight.
Often the reasons why a lot of people fail to lose weight as they would like to goes deeper than to only be bodily conditions. Beneath every circumstance in your experience lies a belief upon which this is being formed. This is true also with your bodily weight and by going to the core you can find out what believes that are responsible for your disability to lose weight.
Believes are normally something we pick up by default from our surroundings and when something has been delivered together with a strong emotion it normally gets a deeper imprint in our system. This can lead to an unconscious pattern that we do repeatedly even though it does not serve us at all.
To give an example; Maybe someone was under-stimulated as a child and therefore was feeling bored a lot of the time. Then the person began to turn to food to give himself some sense of entertainment. This formed a habit and now, whenever the person feels bored, he grabs for something to eat. Since it is an unconscious pattern, he might believe that feeling bored and being under-stimulated is something he just is and do not even consider, at this stage, the possibility of changing this pattern.
In this case it is important to go to the core of what is actually making the person eat, instead of just trying to stop eating as much. Look at this feeling and find ways to heal it. This can be done with hypnosis, nlp, by beginning to focus on what it really is the person wants, positive affirmations, EFT(emotional freedom technique) and forgiveness of the past, to mention a few possible tools.
When you release whats at the core of this pattern, the behavior thats related to it will no longer be triggered and excessive eating is no longer a problem.
There are many other reasons for overweight and what is important is to find out what rings true for you and find out what it is that will work for you.
