“Unfounded Fears That Stop Obese Individual to Undergo Serious Weight

Quote:

“Do not be afraid of simplicity. If you have a cold chicken for supper, why cover it with a tasteless white sauce which makes it look like a pretentious dish on the buffet table at some fancy dress ball?”
X. Marcel Boulestin, chef, food writer (1878-1943)

Believe it or not! Legalizing food is critical to your relationship with food. It frees you to respond from eating signals that have been smothered by negative thoughts and guilt feelings about eating. If you don’t truly believe that you can eat whatever food you like, you will continue to feel deprived, ultimately overeat, and be blocked from feeling satisfied with your eating. Knowing your close ties with food and destroying your adverse psychological attraction to food, any cuisine will certainly loses its power. True or not?

Overview:

This trailer on the unfounded fears that stop obese individual to undergo weight loss therapy can best seen as the dieter’s own unconscious defeatist allusion of:

· I won’t stop eating

· I have tried it before.

· I will overeat next time.

· I won’t eat healthily

Enough of this prelude, let’s study in details these unfounded fears. Alright?

Unfounded Fear No. 1 Uncontrollable Habit: I won’t stop eating.

At first, you may experience an overpowering fear that you won’t be able to stop eating a favorite forbidden food. But remember when you know that forbidden food will always be allowed the urgency to have large qualities of them, eventually dissipates. Research shows that people will tire of eating the same kind of food-it's called habituation.

Unfounded Fear No. 2. Pseudo-Permission: I have tried it before.

When dieters ‘allowed’ themselves to eat certain foods, they overate and felt out of control. But for most people these foods were never really unconditionally allowed; rather, they were only given pseudo-permission. These forbidden foods were actually "be eaten with a sense of temporarily "breaking the rules, or with a little voice saying "you really shouldn't eat that."

When eating the feelings of guilt and remorse flooded in. And with these feelings came a conviction to limit these foods in the future. And counter this indulgence by "eating right" tomorrow. Although physically eating the food, they were emotionally depriving themselves in the future. And so the cycle was perpetuated. Pseudo permission does not work. It's only an illusion.

Let’s give a loud shout to unfounded fear number three. OK?

Unfounded Fear No. 3. A Self-Fulfilling Prophecy: I Sure Will Overeat Next Time

Sometimes just the thought that you will overeat is enough to actually make you do it. Some dieters initially have the strong conviction that white flour would cause them to overeat. Such people have created a self-fulfilling prophecy. These people ‘knew’ these foods were fattening; they ‘knew’ they would binge and they ‘knew’ they would gain weight. Every time they gave in to their white bread, they sincerely told themselves that this would be the last time. Of course, they ended up overdoing- the depriving thoughts and feelings, along with their sense of being bad, spin them out of control.

The next fear may be the last but believe me, it just as important fear. Trust me!

Unfounded Fear No. 4. Force of Habit. I won’t eat healthily

When people are given free choice and access to all varieties of food after" going through the peace” process, they end up balancing their intake to include mostly nutritious foods with a smattering of "play foods." In eating process, nutrition is not the driving force. If nutrition were the overriding priority now, it would only perpetuate your restrictive thoughts. As you go further along with the process and all foods are completely allowed, your natural signals will give you good advice. Get my drift?

Summary:

To sum up these unfounded fears why most obese individual are hesitant to embark on a dieting program are, firstly the obese person as a habitual glutton will not stop overeating. Secondly the dieter believes wrongly that many dieting program she has been tried before and will not work now. Thirdly, thinking she has no will power, dieter will overeat whenever exposed to food. And finally out of habit, the obese individual will overindulge in her favorite ‘junk’ foods. Clear enough for you to remember and practice? A big ‘YES’ if you ask me!

Conclusion:

To wrap up this article, let me just say this. Your years of frustration and guilt for not reaching your goals will be finally being over. And you will be able to attain a stable, comfortable, and close-to-perfect weight. It will take some effort and commitment on your part to banish the unfounded fears, but once you get going, the whole experience will be like taking the blindfold off and living your life as it should be.
