Weight Gain From Fear and Worry - 3 Simple Solutions

The Amish consider worrying a sin! Makes sense to me, since worry, and fear as its evil twin, can only cause trouble and definitely weight gain. You probably know by now that when you are super stressed out, your cortisol levels hit the roof. Then, you want to eat more of the kinds of food that generally cause weight gain-carbs and sugars.

After eating all those carbs and sugars, how do you feel? Relaxed at first, but over the next few minutes (not just guessing here-I know from personal experience-you likely feel more stressed, right? Guilt is a kicker and I would say that definitely fits In with worry and fear as cortisol instigator.

So, how do you keep yourself from worry and fear? It's nearly impossible not to react with worry or fear at times, but you can try several things that may help you:

1. Herbs and other supplements. For example, Holy Basil (or Tulsi Tea) really helps calm my nervous system. It's supposed to be especially good for those of us who have abandonment issues like adoption (I was seven years old when adopted, so had lots of issues from before that time).

Some supplements, like B-12 vitamins and some amino acids, like tryptophan, may work well for you.

Be sure to check with your doctor, chiropractor, or other health practitioner.

2. Keeping the body aligned with good chiropractic or osteopathic care makes a world of difference! I had a friend who told me she knew when her atlas vertebrae was "out," since that's when she felt sick to her stomach and so depressed that she wanted to kill herself! She would never have done that, but it gave her a clue. Then, after her adjustment, she was her normal, happy self again!

3. Most Important: Remember you have a choice! Immediately shift to gratitude. Quickly think of the things that are going Right in Your Life! For example, my car needed an expensive repair. I started to worry and feel stressed until I realized that life had already given me a great solution. I had a speaking gig that would cover the expense! Yes, I had earmarked that money to pay some debt, but I could always do that later. The thing that was going Right in My Life was that I had a solution before I even had the problem.

It's been proven that most of the things we worry about never even occur! So relax and enjoy the ride.

The Faith Factor In Losing Weight

If you don't have faith that you can and will lose weight, then you can't and won't lose weight. Faith is a scientific as well as spiritual principle. It's spiritual in the sense that it can't be perceived by the five senses. For example, you can see the effects of wind blowing but you can't see the wind nor what's causing the wind. Faith is scientific in that there's a particular method by which faith causes the effects you want based on how the mind is structured or how it works.

If you know how the mind works, you can then have a reality-based faith that it'll produce the results you want. -- But then it's no longer faith or belief; now it's a knowing. You know it's going to work just like you know two plus two equals four. All you have to do is know and apply the method.

So, how does the mind work and what's the corresponding method? The first thing to understand is that what we're talking about here is self-control. We weren't designed with marvelous physical, mental and emotional faculties without the means or method of controlling them. That wouldn't make any sense at all. You wouldn't have arms and legs and not be in control of moving them in virtually any way you want to move or use them. Likewise, you wouldn't have thoughts and feelings without also having the means by which to control those thoughts and feelings. Same with your appetite. You couldn't have an appetite without also having the means to control it as well.

The second thing to understand is that your overeating is a habit, and all habits -- good, bad or neutral, are located in the subconscious part of your mind. And the only way to treat something that's subconscious is to separate yourself from the thing you're habituated to. Your habit is a mental and/or emotional attachment -- to food in this case, and the opposite of attachment is detachment.

So the solution or method is to mentally and emotionally detach yourself from the food you're eating, while you're eating it. You and the food are not one thing, but are two separate entities. The method is about keeping the two separate. Keeping them in their respective positions. One as just provider of fuel to live, the other as just consumer of fuel to live. Everything else is secondary -- such as how good it tastes, looks and smells, how nutritious, the amount of fat and calories, etc.

Separating yourself from food in this way gives you the clarity to know whether you're eating for the right or wrong reason, to know when the body is sated, and the power to effortlessly stop at that exact point.
