Feeling Fat? Then guess what....

Fat is not a feeling!

When you hear others describe emotions, do you hear words such as angry, happy, excited, resigned, positive or sad? Do you ever hear anyone describe an emotion called "fat"? You may carry fat on your body (as we all should) but you cannot feel fat. You are more than just your body - you have your psyche or your soul - your psyche doesn't weigh anything and fat does not live as an emotion there.

Then what is fat - what it is - a chemical structure with certain characteristics just like other molecules eg salicylates have their own structure and function.

When somebody says that they're feeling fat, it's really a smokescreen for something else that is going on in your life - so go beyond thinking "fat" and really work out what is going on. Many people are scared of feeling a negative thought. What is the worst thing a negative thought can do? Heck, it can be unpleasant but the take home message is that it won't KILL you.

That's it for today - off to teach RPM just for something different
