Previous post on weight & health: How do I stop the pain?
I’ve been trying to lose weight ever since I became fat in 2013. In my last post, I wrote about working with a natural health practitioner, who said my healing process had a spiritual element (ugh!). She told me to see a shaman to keep my healing process going.
Apparently it worked. My NRT practitioner has told me that I don’t need to see the shaman anymore. She foresees that my ability to lose weight will improve and the weight should keep coming off steadily.
I say “keep coming off” because I have started to lose a little bit in the past couple of weeks. I made a decision in August to stop snacking and to reduce the amount of food I have at mealtimes. I have — of course — done similar food reduction before, but those times I felt so deprived and punished, that I went back to my old ways. What’s new here isn’t that I’m eating less and allowing myself to feel hunger, but that I’m doing it without feelings of deprivation and anger and self-punishment. This definitely feels new. Did the shaman remove some of my heavy feelings about food and hunger? Or some of my self-loathing?
I don’t know, but I do know that I’m still good and fat for now. We’ll see if losing weight really does get easier or not.

Yes.
I think so.
DOes my comment make sense to you?
Congradulations Regina. The important part is that you are forgiving yourself for being Regina. Less important is that you are losing weight. It will follow.
