Oprah and the Weight Loss "Revolution!"

I was so happy to see that Oprah had a program on this week about weight!

It is exactly what I have been teaching for over a year – the “miracle” as she puts it – that will change – “shift” the way we think!

When we see the real reasons we are overweight we can allow those reasons to be the real “eye opener.”

I was chatting with a new client – Joan – and she announced that in 3 weeks she had lost 6 pounds! 6 pounds by “being aware of what I am feeling and doing.” I was thrilled for her –because the weight loss is a sign of a deeper transformation, a connection that leads to peace with you and with food.

She said that what has helped her in part has been realizing that she needs to stop “pleasing people.” When we first spoke she told me “I agreed to be the President of a group, knowing that I would hate doing the work, resent the agreement.” I asked why she did it; why would she agree to give up part of her life for something that didn’t bring her joy. “Because they asked me. I believed that I was the only one who could do it.”

Yesterday she said that she not only lost the weight but “I have seen a lot changes – this program has had a ripple effect. It has enabled me to look at the value of what I do and realize that it’s OK to change. I recognize that I don’t have to go down a certain path.” I asked what has helped her the most. “It was having you tell us to ask ourselves, “What do I want? And “How can I take better care of myself?” It has given me so much insight into my life and so much relief because I have stopped doing things that build resentment and stress.”

“Well, I would rather be comforted by food,” you say. Yes, I can understand. But that is temporary comfort. Permanent comfort comes from understanding what is going on in your life, knowing that your feelings are why you are eating, and facing your feelings. This is true freedom – an amazing transformation – that is available to you!

Another new client talked about trying to comfort herself with eating before she started using the tools from the program. She said, “When I was confronted by a major loss last week I knew that I would want to eat – and eat. So, instead of my usual food I binged on air popped popcorn mixed with a little microwave popcorn. The bowl that I used was HUGE (because the emotional hole that she was trying to fill was huge). I knew that I didn’t want to face the loss. So, I stuffed – ate and ate – I didn’t want to deal with it – didn’t want to understand. The small change that I made was the “safer” food. But then I knew that I was still eating out of avoidance – still not connecting. Later I stopped eating and asked, “What is going on here?” And, since you showed me how to connect, I was able to feel the feeling and not run from it. That gave me a peace that the food couldn’t give to me. THAT was huge!”
