Is the fat the problem or something else. Of late, I have been reading a lot on this subject. The book that really got me thinking was A Course in Weight Loss by Marrianne Williamson.
The author says that the fat in our body is not really fat but unresolved emotions like guilt, sadness, anger and greed. Some people express their emotions verbally, some drown them in alcohol, some in drugs and some simply eat them.
I realized in the past few years, I have eaten my frustration, my anger, my helplessness and my guilt. I have been eating the sadness that I felt when my husband passed away, I have been eating the emptiness and the loneliness I felt.
Each time, I experienced these feelings, I found some unhealthy but tasty food and ate it. These feelings were usually experienced when I did something that I did not like doing or felt trapped or felt angry or rebellious but could not do anything about it.
Most of the times, when I ate these foods, I was not really hungry. But I still ate to keep these feelings at bay or to digest them.
So, the lumps of fat are really that- unresolved feelings that I just ate but could not digest. What must one do about that? The only way to release these feelings is to acknowledge them and release them to the light of love.
These feelings were not directed towards anyone else but me. When we don’t understand how to untangle something, what do we do? We simply bundle it up and keep it aside. That is what the fat is – a tangle of unresolved feelings….which must be slowly unravelled with love that is directed towards our own self. The love that is healing.
