Beyond Disorerly Eating - Being Obese & What to Do

We all learn from the history & experiences of others. This book is based on my work with clients in my private office, as well as students who have studied with me thought the years. I’d like you to meet Denise who has a problem that faces a large portion of our population.

Denise: Quite simply, I’m obese. It shames me to say this because it is the one area of my life that I cannot control. As a professional woman I wonder what people think and why they would trust me to handle their personal matters, when I can’t manage my own body. I’ve been on every diet that exists to no avail. I rationalize by saying that I don’t have time and my work life takes precedence. I fail to understand why I can take a complicated work project and enjoy the process, yet not with my own self-care. Why would I do this to myself?

KNOWLEDGE HOOK

Denise is an intelligent woman who is barking up the wrong tree. Her obesity is the way her body is communicating the fact that it isn’t getting what it needs, and until it does she will continue down the same path. But keep in mind that the path changes step by step. We do not remain the same outside, and so why would we believe that we remain the same inside?

Denise is playing the blame game, more than likely because the solution hasn’t been found to her problem of fat storage. There are many reasons why people store fat, and it is usually a combination of things including inaccurate serving amounts of foods, types of foods, times of eating, emotional and stress management to name just a few. Of course, Denise’s family and personal medical/addictions history all play in the background and must be taken into consideration.

We can all learn from reading the wording of her statement and question. You can see her beliefs and the strengths of her convictions. All of these are inner stress producers and need to be released because stress chemicals aid in the storage of fat. As Denise learns more about herself, her personal needs and inner mind programs she will be able to turn her work successes into personal ones as well.
