Aravind Padmaraju argues that emotional baggage and childhood beliefs about your body are why diet and exercise alone fail. Negative emotions trigger eating, and you carry excuses like "I'm just someone who can't lose weight" as part of your identity. Fixing weight means fixing what you believe about yourself first.
There are many people who tried losing weight. They have started going to gym, they have started their exercise, they have started their diet, but still they are not losing their weight. Is this because of the emotional baggage they have or something related to their emotional health? Yes, 100%. So there are two things is, uh, very important, especially when a person starting their weight loss journey. Even I have struggled with my own health. So for one thing is their emotional baggage which they carry. The second thing is their belief system around their health. So some or other way they have learned this behavior from their childhood. They saw someone, or they started creating identity from themselves. I'm a phobia, I can't lose weight. This all comes under all the excuses whatever they give. It all comes under belief system. The second part is they want to do it but they are not able to do it because emotionally, if you actually see, most of the time when you are angry, when you are frustrated, when you are even upset with whatever the things are happening in your life, most of the times they have a— one of the common pattern is emotional eating. Emotional eating is one of the biggest reason of the emotional state of the person.
Manifestation may feel less like chasing what you want and more like becoming the person....
