Fat No More Secrets 2 of 10 - It is impossible for me to be thin because my parents are fat.

Read More About Health

Losing weight is not just about dieting or exercising as proven by the countless number of failed diets and exercise programs. First, you need to identify and let go of the many Mental, Emotional, Subconscious, and Spiritual blocks that prevent you from losing weight. I call them the M.E.S.S. blocks; they are limiting beliefs, thoughts, or fears that prevent your weight loss. If you do not let go of these blocks, you will continue to have an extremely hard time losing weight and, if you do succeed, you will continue to gain the weight back.

You may think that it is impossible for you to lose weight and be thin if your parents are overweight. This is especially true if your family members have been trying to lose weight without success. Here are some limiting thoughts and beliefs that you may have if you grew up in such a family: "No one in my family can be thin; everyone in my family, including me, is supposed to be fat; I am supposed to be fat; my family is supposed to be fat; there is nothing I can do, I just cannot lose weight. Losing weight is impossible, so why even try? I always fail when it comes to weight loss. I cannot lose weight. There is absolutely no way I can lose weight; it is hopeless." In addition to these overwhelming negative thoughts and beliefs, if you are the only one eating healthy or dieting in your family, it will be almost impossible for you to succeed unless you have a motivation of steel. You will be tempted 24 hours a day to eat unhealthy foods and deviate from your healthy regimen.

Plus, you may believe that to fit in your overweight family, you also need to be overweight. If your mother, father, sisters, and brothers are fat, ask yourself, do you have any other option than to be fat?

What are the chances you can grow up with a perfect body and still fit in with your overweight family? You will believe that you have to be just like them. It does not matter how many diets you try, you will never be thin or stay thin because a part of you does not want to succeed.

Most of us have a basic human need to fit in and belong. We also want and need to be loved. Even though, consciously, losing weight might be important to you, subconsciously you may not want to lose weight if this means you have to give up fitting in, belonging to, and being loved by your family. Ask yourself. Would you still belong to the family if you are thin? Would you still be loved and accepted if you are the only thin person in your family?
