How To Heal Your Weight

A 16-Step Mind, Body, Spirit Approach to Fat Freedom

Beschreibung

"The global epidemic of obesity and lifestyle diseases is a red herring. The real epidemic facing the human species is disconnection, isolation, despair, and loneliness through separation from our spiritual selves." Would you like to finally get to the bottom of your struggle with your weight? Are you open to the possibility that the 'advice' you got to 'just eat less and exercise more' is catastrophically missing the point? Are you ready to escape from diet prison and break the dieting cycle of self-blame, self-shame, self-punishment, deprivation and general misery that comes with it? Not to mention failure.Author and journalist Tamara Pitelen was on that miserable hamster wheel for decades and she doesn't want you wasting years of your life in the same way because the dieting industry has sold us an insidious lie. Diets not only do not work-they are a sure-fire way to get fatter, sicker and crazy obsessive. Pitelen believes that, if you're carrying excess body fat, a subconscious part of you wants it there. This subconscious part of you will fight hard and clever to keep it there because it either believes that losing the weight carries risk, or that keeping it on offers a benefit. So you can count your calories and tot up your carb grams till the cows come home but the fat will never permanently shift unless your subconscious mind decides it is surplus to requirements. To change your body, you must first change your mind. In How To Heal Your Weight, Pitelen offers a 16-step mind, body, spirit approach to fat freedom. If you're ready to uncover the spiritual, emotional, physical, and mental solutions to your excess weight, this book will show you the way. It's time to stop beating yourself with the self-shame whip of the dieting industry, with the help of Pitelen. Your body is not the enemy and staying locked in this self-shame battle with your bulge only makes the bulge bigger. This battle also prevents you from understanding the real reasons the weight is showing up on your body. Reasons that have nothing to do with calories and everything to do with love and connection.For about 200,000 years or so, our ancestors managed to effortlessly maintain a normal weight without diet shakes, low fat muesli, calorie counting apps, Fitbits, or Zumba classes. We're the only species on the planet that has lost the ability to automatically regulate our body weight. Our ancestors honoured the rhythms and cycles of nature and lived in harmony with the natural world but we've messed this up and it's showing up as global epidemics of obesity, diabetes, mental illness, addiction, environmental destruction and climate crisis. The way out of this mess is reconnection at all levels. It starts with you. Befriending your body, reclaiming your spirituality, and uprooting all the reasons why your body-brain sees the excess weight as beneficial. From there, you build a new relationship with food, with your body, with the planet... and your weight reflects this new lighter, mindset. With the help of this book you can do just that; befriend your body, build a healthy new relationship with food, and heal the scars on your body and soul from the diet industry whip of self-shame.

Autor

Tamara Pitelen (1968-present) was born in Christchurch, New Zealand, to British immigrant parents seeking to escape the weather of northern England. She moved to Japan at the age of 22, which was the start of a 25-year stint moving to different cities, including London, Sydney, Hong Kong, Osaka, Dubai, and Bath. Between the moving, she worked as a journalist and magazine editor. While living in Dubai, she started a publishing company and launched the Middle East's first spirituality and wellness magazine, called Awakenings Middle East. Tamara has published five books to date, the latest being 'How To Heal Your Weight - A 16-Step Mind, Body, Spirit Approach to Fat Freedom', which is based on her own experience of wasting about 40 years following the stupid rules of the diet industry. As well, she has written a Bill-Bryson-Meets-Bridget-Jones travel book called 'Spokes, Blokes and Blarney'; a look at modern relationships in 'Neanderthal Man Loves Tree Hugger'. Then 'The Year I Went Pear-Shaped', a chick-lit offering based on her years working on a glossy women's magazine in Australia. Finally, a title called 'Five Beliefs Keeping You Fat And How To Clear Them', which was a precursor to 'How To Heal Your Weight', that features EFT Tapping scripts for weight-loss.
