I propose to look at the problem of excess weight from this perspective. Imagine it as your competitor and that your victory, defeat, or compromise depends on:
- Your health, because where there is excess weight – there are diseases.
- Your self-esteem, because a full person is usually not confident in themselves, finds it harder to attract the opposite sex, to advance professionally and in their career, to choose clothing, style, hairstyle, etc.
- Your sex life, because if a person knows about the shortcomings of their body, they will usually be shy during sex, turn off the lights, cover themselves, and feel embarrassed.
Sufficiently strong reasons to start negotiating with your Body. And if we consider weight as a psychosomatic disorder, then we need to think and try to understand: what is your "excess weight" "screaming" about, what is its purpose. I propose the most common options:

- Psychological trauma, for processing of which the Body creates "life savers" in the form of fat folds or forms a "cocoon" from the same material to protect itself.
- Secondary benefit – when the Body responds to your thoughts and creates an unattractive appearance for the opposite sex, which is an excellent way to avoid close relationships. Or on the contrary, the Body helps to be "noticeable," and thus important to your environment.
- Fear of death, usually something related to the fate of the family, well explained by the proverb "while the fat dries, the thin dies."
If, from a medical standpoint, you are a healthy person, and for some reason, the weight doesn't go away, honestly answer yourself the following questions:

- How did your family treat nutrition, what are your eating habits?
- Who in your family or ancestors was overweight? Try to ask your relatives if you can't remember. Find out what was difficult about this person's fate.
- Do you have a benefit to being overweight?
- How else can you solve the task that this benefit resolves with "excess weight"?
- If you part with the "excess weight," what new things will appear in your life?
If you are reading this article, most likely you've tried many things already and some repeatedly. As Albert Einstein said "The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results."
Therefore, I propose to surprise your Body and stop fighting with it, punishing it with diets or ignoring it. Instead, try negotiating with it and it will surely thank you with beautiful shapes.
Exercise:
- Mentally draw a line (imagine it divides your life into past and future) and think and then write down what you would like to take with you into the future and what you are leaving in the past (it's important to see in detail how you will look after this: hair, hairstyle, skin, figure, etc.)
- Then imagine that it has already happened and think about what emotions the person with such a Body feels, what they think about. Why is it important; it is scientifically proven that brain cells cannot distinguish real things from imagined ones. By experiencing the emotions of your future Body you will easily imagine not only what such a person looks like but how they live, how much they sleep, what they eat, what their schedule is, whether they engage in sports, what their hobbies are, who they communicate with, where they work, what they dream about, etc.
- Write all of this down as a plan for your every day, and be sure to schedule 10 minutes of time to re-experience the emotions of your future Body, do this daily.
And if you catch yourself moving toward the table or refrigerator, think about what you are rewarding or rewarding yourself with food, and how a person with a new Body would do it. And accept it as a game because "The best way to predict your future is to create it!" Joe Dispenza.
If you feel that you can't manage, take care of yourself and consult a psychologist.
