Weight Issue

November 10, 2003

Here is what Louise L. Hay has to say about being overweight in her excellent

" OVERWEIGHT " represents a need for protection. We seek protection from hurts,

slights, criticism, abuse, sexuality, and sexual advances; from a fear of life

in general and also specifically. Take your choice.

Louise says, " I am not a heavy person, yet I have learned over the years that

when I am feeling insecure and not at ease, I will put on a few pounds. When the

threat is gone, the excess weight goes away by itself. Fighting fat is a waste

of time and energy. Diets don't work. The minute you stop, the weight goes back

up. Loving and approving of yourself, trusting in the process of life and

feeling safe because you know the power of your own mind make up the best diet I

know of. Go on a diet from negative thoughts, and your weight will take care of

itself. "

" Too many parents stuff food in a baby's mouth no matter what the problem is.

These babies grow up to stand in front of an open refrigerator saying, " I don't

know what I want, " whenever there is a problem. "

AFFIRMATIONS:

" I am at peace with my own feelings. I am safe where I am. I create my own

security. I love and approve of myself. "

" I am protected by Divine Love. I am always safe and secure. I am willing to

grow up and take responsibility for my life. I forgive others, and I now create

my own life the way I want it. I am safe. "

" It is safe for me to create all the love I want. "

" I nourish myself with spiritual food, and I am satisfied and free. "

" I see my father as a loveless child, and I forgive easily. We are both free. "
