A diet is not meant to heal the Root of your lifelong struggles with food and your weight. A healthy diet can only address the physical, and the physical is not where the problem is. You see, it’s the MIND that leads the body, just like a horse leading a carriage.
Imagine this: the horse is your Mind, the carriage is your Body. Take care of the horse and the carriage will follow without struggle! On the other hand, when you ignore the horse and refuse to feed and water it (attending to your Mind and your Inner Self) and instead put a new layer of paint on the carriage (applying a diet to an overweight body), how far does that carriage get?
If you truly desire to put an end to your lifelong struggles with food and your weight, you must take care of the horse first. That is, if you truly wish to have the quickest weight loss possible.
What is the quickest weight loss possible? Permanent weight loss without struggle. It is so quick because you do not need to repeat it!
Once you attend to your Mind first and get it in alignment with the body, you desire for yourself on the outside. Though it is easy to live a healthy and fit lifestyle, it is very difficult to live healthy and fit though, when on the inside your horse is overweight and unhealthy.
An overweight horse (your mind) equals an overweight carriage (your body). In fact, it’s even Universal Law: The inner and the outer always match.
Taking care of your mind first, you need to select the healthiest foods when shopping, cooking, eating, and exercising. All of the actions you “do” to create and keep a body you love will flow with ease, once you first take care of your mind, which encompasses your Inner Self.
Now you can understand why it’s been so difficult for you to “Just Do It” in the past when it came to dieting. This is also the reason that 95% of dieters fail.
There must be alignment between the inner and the outer, in order for an action to be struggle-free and for the result of that action to last.
