Epiphany
Last weekend, a friend told me in a chat that my major problem was my reluctance to let go of fear and anxiety when there was simply nothing to worry about. He was right, so I followed his advice and tried to relax a bit.
It really works! The result is that I can think better now, make decisions that improve my personal well-being, and reason out problems instead of dodging them. This experience dawned on me that finding the root cause of a problem is the best way to solve it. In this case, my problem is obesity, and the root cause of me unable to lose weight is anxiety eating. Not knowing the root cause, I used to wander around all day, worrying about all sorts of things. When I finally could not take it, I turned to food to relieve my stress. However, it only worsened the problem. Now that I have found the root cause, I am confident that I can shake off the muffin top around my waist and become the person I want to be. Most important of all, I lost another pound this morning!

Yeah, fear and anxiety can increase cortisol hormone levels which can trigger insulin release and cease fat oxidation. Caffeine does the same thing too, but that's another story. Good job on your weight loss!

Great discovery - and there are other ways to manage anxious sensations besides food.

Thank you for giving us all something to think about. Not only can that low-level anxiety cause chemical changes that keep us from losing weight (as Bcoulal points out), it can make it hard to stay on your chosen weight-loss program.

What an inspirational post. I too struggle greatly with fear and anxiety. I have several pounds of guilt hanging on me. Thank you for posting. Good luck and keep up the great work. I too will try and relax a bit.
