Why not to panic if there is weight gain

It is easy to panic if there is some weight gain as you practice eating when physically hungry and stopping when full, but being okay with a little temporary weight gain is really what helps us on our journey towards natural and permanent slimness – true slimness.

You see, you are still grappling with your eating pattern of eating when full when there is any weight gain. Weight gain is always because some eating when full has been going on, and temporary weight gain is not that unusual and quite understandable, until we get into, eating when hungry and stopping when full 100% of the time.

So relax and let your focus shift from worry to being aware.

Let your focus shift from worry about any extra kilos to awareness of when you are physically full and stopping at that point.

Let your focus shift from panic about weight gain to understanding about weight gain and eliminating that which causes it – the eating when physically full.

Let your focus shift from anxiety over weight gain to awareness of the emotions that drive you to eat when full and focus on resolving those emotions through asking yourself, our habit breaking question: 'Given the fact I feel this way what would I like to do now?’ and following up on the answer.

If you think about it, you cannot easily change ingrained habits or compulsive behaviour overnight, so feel those fears but know that any weight gain, that happens as you practice eating when hungry and stopping when full, is temporary, and automatically reabsorbed as soon as you get into the slim achieving habit of stopping when physically full. So, the way forward here, is to persist with the ‘Am I Hungry?’ free download from my site and feel free to add your comments below. We can get a nice little free, on line, weight loss class going here and I’ll be happy to add my comments to help you all along.

Best wishes, Sofia
