Losing weight.

Today I ask myself if I need to lose some weight.

I repeat the question with one different word.

Do I want to lose weight?

I take a moment and think about losing the weight.

And I realize that I actually don't want to lose anything in life.

I don't want to lose my job,

My house,

My partner,

My pets.

People don't want to lose a parent,

A child,

Their own precious life.

So why are we asking ourselves if we need or want to lose weight?

Of course,

The body is going to hold tight to itself and the mind is going to resist to the fact of a loss.

So I rephrase this question.

Do I want to replace stored energy for muscle?

I don't use the word fat or waste or anything negative to offend myself,

But simply use positive words like reserved and stored energy.

This makes me feel better about my choices and I feel more in control of my own body with all its cushioning,

Its bungee cords,

Its millions of sacks,

Its pillars and rods,

Its soft parts and dense parts.

I respect my body and I choose to replace stored energy for strong muscles so I can live a healthier life for myself.

Reviews

Re-wording things really does make all the difference! Thank you for this awesome track as I am trying to get to and maintain a healthy weight (almost there)! I am saving it to listen to again! This may even be inspiring me to write and share a new poem when it’s finished. 🙂

I’d never thought of it that way. Such a good phrasing choice. Thank you 🙏

Thank you 🦋

A kind and realistic perspective. Thank you! 🙏🏼 Another great term I learned many years ago was to think about “dismissing dimensions”! The rationale was that often when we “lose” something, we find it again! Also, it’s not “weight” we want to dismiss, since muscle and bone weigh more and we want to keep those heavy, but it’s really ‘dimensions’ that we want to dismiss - as if we no longer have need for excess dimensions… You are dismissed…be gone for ever! 😄

Wonderful analogy and shift for the mind! Thank you!

Never thought to think of weight loss this way. I like it. Thank you.

Helpful reminder about the power of words.
