The Diet Industry Only Wants Your Money, Not Your Weight

Have you ever sat down and written out everything you've spent in an effort to lose weight? I cannot do it. It is just too much detail to have to remember at this point in my life.

I know a lady who has over $10,000.00 worth of exercise equipment alone at her home and she is still large. I once gave this inventorying task a cursory overview knowing full well that I'd only hit the highlights, and the result exceeded $25,000.00.

Why is it that we spend so much money trying to lose weight?

I think a lot of emotions are behind our decisions to spend money and they are very uncomfortable emotions: not feeling good about ourselves and wanting to feel better; feeling guilty for not being able to live up to the world's standards for weight and appearance; feeling incapable of achievement in this area. I could go on, but you basically know the rest and could write them yourselves.

I've formerly written that Fat Is An Industry. It is a multi-billion industry and if you look at it from the perspective of "how effective are their products?" the only thing you'd need to do is examine their profitability. If these companies really wanted to help the obese, they'd make products that actually work. But then, they'd go out of business if obesity disappeared, wouldn't they? This one thing become an enormous Aha! about whether or not to purchase their product. I've been buying and trying their products for over 50 years and I'm still obese. I proved through experimentation these products are not effective.

How disappointed would you say you are that the products of the diet industry don't work? I am extremely disappointed, but I'm no longer bitter because I have found something else that does work for me. I spent years moving from one solution trial to another. I'm the persevering sort, hence the large amounts of money I spent and all thirty of the years of my experimenting. I still had the problem to solve, so I knew I had to look somewhere other than the diet industry.

I researched self help, and then drilled down into the study of metaphysics. And how long and how successful was this experiment? I looked at this for thirty years too. I worked with it. I polished my skills and I was successful at gaining an understanding of exactly what the problem was, exactly what the fix was, and exactly what I needed to do to work that fix. I am now in the middle of executing that fix.

I learned how accomplish spiritual healing. It's not a quick fix, because it involves the layer-peeling action of self correction. This work is the last stately step that has already gained me self-acceptance, self-love, and keen wisdom and understanding as it's predecessors.

We obese people have been judged by our appearances and because of that, I hesitated a lot before I began the work of documenting the progress I made using spiritual healing and metaphysical tools to make the correction that caused my obesity. I hesitated about going public. Taking the criticisms and short-sighted judgments of a world that does not understand obesity has been painful emotionally. It's been difficult to be judged as less-than because my body is large. It's been humorous to be judged as unintelligent - if they only knew! In the end, I decided to mainly run the risk of negative input because I think by now I am impervious to it and because I think the growing obesity in our country deserves a real fix since the diet industry has not been helping.

In order to get a grip on a solution to your problem, I suggest you consider these basic principles:

1. Always be impeccably honest with yourself.

2. All that you do should come from integrity.

3. Discover Life's Laws and learn how they can be applied.

There is a lot on the internet when you search for Laws of Life. I suggest you read what's there, synthesize what you read down to a few basics and see if what you cull out meets two criteria: is it universally applicable to each of us and is it changeless. If it is, you've not got some real spiritual healing tools to work with to help you quit giving money for no real help to the diet industry.
