Obesity

Obese people are judged in a negative way in our Western society. The responsibility for obesity is layed at the obese person as such.
Obesity is automatically associated with excessive eating. If someone is fat, it is his or her own fault, he or she should not eat as much. In many cases, a person is indeed overweight because of eating excessive amounts of food in proportion to what the body needs. But there are also fat people who do not eat particularly much and still suffer from overweight. And even if someone suffers from obesity due to excessive eating, still the person as such is not responsible for that, but he or she is compelled by unconscious programmings. At least, that is how LTA Personal Development looks at things.

We all know people who take in huge quantities of food and who are still slim or even skinny. And then there are those who eat far less than the people who eat huge quantities, and still show an inclination towards plumpness or obesity.
An important factor in this respect is a slow or fast metabolism. Maybe this is genetic, maybe this is (partly) the result of unconscious programmings.

Irrespective of the effect of metabolism and a possible hereditary predisposition to obesity, there are still a variety of other causes that may lead to obesity.
In the subconscious mind of a plump or obese person, there are programmings or ‘patterns’ influencing the appetite, deviant eating conduct and the size of the body. In addition, there may be patterns causing deviant chemical processes in the body, so that a person develops an inclination towards obesity.

These patterns make a person eat large quantities, eat fatty en sweet food, overeat etc. The patterns may also dictate that a person should be fat or should have a particular size and that this situation cannot change. In this case, the person will remain fat, no matter how much he or she will try to lose weight. Or patterns can dictate that a person can lose weight and then regains weight. This is the so-called ‘jojo effect’. A pattern saying: ‘you must never lose weight’, may activate a second pattern, having an impact on the functioning of the metabolism. Or causing deviant chemical processes.

Patterns steering the eating conduct and patterns dictating a certain body size, are more easy to eliminate than patterns that are responsible for faulty chemical processes.
If such a pattern is however activated by a first pattern such as e.g.: ‘you should always weigh 120 kg’, than the pattern causing the faulty processes can be deactivated by peeling off the first pattern. A deactivated pattern is still present in the subconscious mind, but has no impact.
