Welcome back!

When you are in - shall we call it -  “weight loss mode”, there’s a whole lot else going on beside the mental diet and the mental exercise, isn’t there?  Or are you still doing the same rut - using food to diet?  Has that worked permanently in the past?  Just wondering why you might be doing the same thing and expecting different results?  Go ahead, smack me.

I noticed that my daily work routine involves a whole lot that doesn’t seem to have anything to do with mental dieting, or does it?  I have a worker bee at my house.  He told me he knew how to install a block wall.  I have been out there supervising every single block that goes down.  He is clueless and we have a language problem on top of it.  So I find myself irritated.  Not with him, with me.  Somehow, I have taken this whole thing on me.  Why don’t I speak his language?  Why didn’t I want to spend more money and hire a contractor?

And then I wondered this:  “I’ve hired contractors before.  They are frequently as inept as this man is, so the only difference would be spending more money.  And why can’t HE learn MY language.”  But I did notice that my first line of thinking is to blame me.  I wonder how many of us obese women do that?  Please tell me that I’m not the only one!

If I were to diagnose this using my metaphysical skills - you do know I’m a metaphysics teacher, don’t you? - then I would say this is an overboard sense.  It inflates a sense of guilt inside of me for what I see the bottom line to be “I am not good enough.”  Do you do that?  Have you ever slowed yourself down enough to look inside that intently?  I have a sneaking hunch we might have that in common.

I know that correcting this type of thing inside, mentally, is part and parcel of the correction needed to lose weight through mental means alone.  If  you see  yourself creating any kind of mental burden, isn’t that a weighty sense?  Might’nt that be part of your difficulty?  Just an idea I thought you’d find interesting, tasty and helpful.

Can’t resist an opportunity to tell you that the 3rd class in the tele-series is being taught on Monday, April 6th at 6 pm PST.  It’s entitled:  The Power Within You. If you’d like to discover what that is and see yourself in a whole new light, you can Sign Up Here.

Love,
