Are You Angry About Your Weight?

Yesterday, I was giving a weight loss hypnosis seminar at St. Joseph Mercy Hospital in Ann Arbor, when a woman raised her hand and confessed that she felt very angry that she was in so much pain due to her overweight condition.

If you are feeling angry about your life situation - accept that is how you feel. Don't beat yourself up about it or try to paste a positive spin on it. Instead let the anger motivate you to make the change that you want to make in your life. Let the anger be the force that propels you to believe in yourself and choose the actions that are going to lead you to the results that you want.

There's nothing wrong with anger. The question is, "What are you going to do about it?" Don't judge yourself as wrong for being angry. Instead, make a decision to do everything in your power to alleviate the source of your pain--which is your overweight condition and how it negatively impacts your life physically, mentally and emotionally. Forgive yourself for past mistakes. Dwelling on the past only leaves you feeling disempowered and uninspired.

Go behind the anger and find your true power - the untapped power within you to create a life for yourself that reflects what you are truly worthy of.

You can do it!
