About this episode
There is something about sugar that we fear about. Rightly so, because research says it's more addicting than heroin or cocaine. I used to buy that idea before but not anymore, the reason is that Science proves it is easy to digest and metabolize sugar than it is to metabolize alcohol or any kind of drugs. Most often than not, diets involve not consuming much sugar. When you exercise, it is best accompanied by not eating sugar-laden food. Apart from sugar in fruits, you make sure there is nothing more than that. That makes life so restrictive. And when you tell yourself to stay away from sugar, your subconscious mind tells you to have it. And it's a never-ending tug of war between what you really want and what it calls you to do for your body's sake. And if this is how things roll out every day for you, putting morality on food, that it is bad or not good for you, it would never amount to anything. Permanent weight loss happens when you give yourself permission to just enjoy what you do, in this case, eating sugar and be at peace with the thought that you are aware of what it's gonna do for you and your health. This all amounts to awareness and intention. Whatever you do should come from a place of love for yourself and not fear for something that restricts you instead to be in the moment. This is where hypnosis helps in permanent weight loss, giving you the freedom to enjoy eating without feeling the guilt that you might get unwanted pounds or the shame that you have a body not everyone finds desirable or the fear nobody would want you for gaining extra pounds. It is about living your truth with the choice which you find best for you. When you don't subject yourself to the rigidity of a plan that's when abundance kicks in and self-awareness thrives.
