There seems to be a new buzzword in the world of weight loss - Fat Acceptance . This will make your path. It will be great. It will be huge, as it gives the impression of being fat is okay, and if you are overweight , this is exactly what you need to hear .
There is only one problem with it - is not new . I teach my clients this for 15 years. I never gave a degree of fantasy.
" Fat Acceptance is the idea that the overweight person has the right to be happy and content in their self-esteem as well as their own bodies . " Caroline J. Cederquist MD .
I have always taught is that you can not lose weight while you hate your body as it is now . Of course , it's hard for my clients, because most of them end up in my office because they hate the way they look and fought their fat for years - to no avail .
I tell them that the first thing to do is get right with your body as it is . That's all that - even fat cells contain DNA. The fat in your body is not your enemy . Do not fight it . Instead, be thankful that you and the journey you've done to get here.
Of course, the overweight body does not meet the expectations of the company's attractiveness and thus the problem faced by my clients is how to accept and appreciate what they find attractive . This is not an easy task when every time you turn on the TV , open a magazine , or even a walk around the city, you are bombarded with images of what society considers attractive now / beautiful. What can you do except look for yourself and is very poor ?
Well, you can see all the photo albums from your Facebook friends. You will find real people - the kind that the world is actually filled . This will give you a reality check . Television, magazines, posters and create an illusion of a mythical world of physically attractive people. This is not the real world , so you can ignore . If you really need to compare yourself with others, then compare yourself to people who are in the supermarket or on the street , or in the doctor's waiting room . Note that some people have more overweight you are, and there are people who are thinner than they are .
Once you reach the conclusion that there is nothing special about your excess weight, you can move to a state of being relatively well compared . From there , he moved to acceptance. Acceptance is not saying it's okay , we'll just keep overeating and die a horrible disease induced weight. Acceptance is acknowledging that you are the way you are right now and now it's just the way it is, and now that will not change , so now there is absolutely no reason to fight it . Do you think the beating is what motivates you to change. It is not . Are encouraged to reflect on the changes and start the battle with your body when you are looking for quick weight loss and all the pain , anxiety and denial required.
What you resist , persists.
Acceptance allows you to pay what it is and to plan for a different future.
Do not treat someone you love in a very different way to someone you hate ?
You want to force feed someone you love so gradually be converted into a bloated , overweight, unhealthy man who had little pleasure in life , simply because the journey was so difficult?
Acceptance is like love. He wants the best , but it is rebuke . Guide love slowly , carefully, taking to the goal. Piedades love with chess, but encouraged it to continue . Love is always there and success - no matter how long it takes. Love is never , never, never give up on you.
