You can get full info on the Weight Down Workshop method at: http://www.wdworkshop.com/ Here's an excerpt from Gwen Shamblin (the founder): We have been created with two empty, needing-to-be-fed holes in our body. One is the stomach, and the other is the heart. The stomach is a literal hole in our body, which is to be fed with the proper amount of food. As for the heart, I am speaking figuratively of our deep-down feelings. To satisfy these deep-down feelings, needs, or desires of the heart, we may often turn to food and overload our stomach with more than it needs. Trying to feed a hurting, needy heart with food or anything on this earth (alcohol, tobacco, antidepressants, sexual lusts, money, the praise of other people, etc.) is a common error. The person who attempts to feed a longing heart with food will stay on the path to overweight. Those who pursue an overindulgence of alcohol or tobacco or power will also reap the consequences of those pursuits. There is nothing inherently evil about food, alcohol, tobacco, money, credit cards, etc.; however, it is wrong to become more devoted to created more than the Creator. The fact is, we have been trying to feed our hurting, longing heart with physical food. Along the way, we have fallen in love with the food. Therefore, the solution is as follows: (1) Relearn how to feed the stomach only when it is truly hungry. (2) Relearn how to feed or nourish the longing human soul with a relationship with God. (3) Relearn how to recognize the different " hunger " urges and end the desire to binge eat at night when no one is looking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
