"Weight Loss Success And
Taming The Wild Ego!"
By now it is accepted among experts that the only safe and lasting solution to weight loss involves, not a focus on diet and exercise, but on identifying and eliminating / replacing our own self-sabotaging beliefs and attitudes.
This - and nothing else - must be weight loss "Job #1."
But there's a major roadblock in the way: your own ego!
You see, your ego is not very interested in this business of
exchanging self-sabotaging beliefs for self-supportive ones. On the
surface, that doesn't make any sense. So how could it be true?
You see, your ego is highly invested in your existing belief
structure because it has been involved from day one in the
accept-reject process. As such, your ego is attached to your current
beliefs-no matter how well or how poorly they may be serving you.
The ego is all about maintaining the status quo-the unconscious
status quo.
Your ego may or may not be the least bit interested in the truth,
because the truth may conflict with the ego's existing beliefs, and
than that would mean rocking the boat. So you need to know going in
that there WILL be resistance to ANY new beliefs, no matter how
beneficial they ultimately may be. Why? Because the ego has no
concept of "later," and therefore can't grasp the concept of
deferred gratification.
IMPORTANT POINT:
Your ego is not necessarily
concerned with your health, your happiness, you love life, your
spiritual life, or any of the things your conscious mind may
appreciate and desire. In fact, as long as you still have a pulse,
your ego is silently saying, "See? Everything is fine. I did a great
job. Leave me alone."
The key concept to understand here is that your ego is not
necessarily concerned with your health, happiness, etc. How can you
tell whether it is or isn't? It's easy. Just look at your life. Are
you happy, healthy, in-shape, loving, etc? Your ego will always run
the show, just like a behind-the-scenes political boss. So if you
want to know what your ego is really attached to, just look and see
how your show is going.
Question: Do you know anyone who just seems to stay at their healthy
weight, month after month, year after year, without seeming to work
at it? Well I have a little insight for you.. They're not working
very hard at it. Why? Because their egos are attached to being fit,
at-weight, and in-shape.
The people who are happy, healthy, in shape, etc., are the ones
whose egos are attached to being that way! So guess what? Since the
ego runs the show, it automatically creates health and happiness for
those folks who have those kinds of ego attachments.
Question: If your ego was attached to health, happiness, etc, do you
think your life might look and feel a bit different?
Major Concept:
We really need to understand that the way our lives look and feel
are merely physical reflections of out true beliefs and attitudes
about ourselves, our lives, about God, and about the universe in
general.
You ego is the guardian of your beliefs-past, present, and future.
Fighting with your ego is a losing battle. If you are genuinely
interested in making ANY positive changes in your life, your
job-your challenge-is to get your ego aligned with your healthy,
conscious goals by persistent persuasion and reasoned logic. Your
ego must fall in love with your dreams and desires.
Otherwise Nothing
Will Change!!!!!
