Weight Loss Tips: If You’ve Ever asked yourself “Why am I so Fat?”

If you have ever asked yourself the question above, and don’t really know the answer or where to look for the answer, you may have stumbled upon a solution to changing your body shape.

However, if you have simply wondered “Why am I so Fat?” and have come up with an answer like: “Because of my parents / my environment/ my neighborhood / my family /my race /my husband/ my childhood…..”, then, let me tell you this: You have found, not the answer to your problem, but an excuse, an excuse that will continue to support you in keeping you overweight for the rest of your life.

Now if that’s what you want (to continue to be overweight or out-of-shape or definitely not the best you can be, both physically and mentally), then, the excuse you have found will serve you well.

If, on the other hand, you really want to change your shape and lose weight, you will need to find the Real Reason that you are overweight and why you simply cannot make a move to change your body shape. And then, you will need to tackle the deep-down reason you are getting bigger, and eliminate it.

So, the short answer to your question: “Why am I so Fat?” is this: your internal programming, the way you think and react, is making you fat.

The Longer Answer to your Question (“Why am I so Fat?”) is this: You may have heard that the human mind is made up of the conscious and subconscious, “parts” of what we call our mind. (Most people know this; few really know how to work with or upon this knowledge.)

The major portion of the time, it is the unconscious or subconscious parts of your mind that runs the whole show that you call Your Life. Most of our decisions may be made for us by our unconscious minds, and the rest of our body simply acts upon those decisions.

A common example is that of driving a car: You get into the car, and after a long and boring journey, you arrive at your destination, and you remember hardly anything about what you really did on that journey. What really happened was that your unconscious mind worked everything out, and got you to your destination, and all you can consciously remember are one or two turns or lane-changes in the entire journey!

You may also have seen this happen with regard to food: The food may be laid out before you, and your unconscious mind (who’s on a “see-food” diet) simply gets at the food, consuming and absorbing all the calories it can lay hands on, in the shortest time possible. In the meantime, your conscious mind (the person you call “You”) has taken a short holiday, only to enter the scene when the food is gone. That’s when remorse sets in, when you feel bad about having eaten all that food. But it’s too late, at least with regard to that meal.

What does this mean to you with regard to your losing weight and more importantly, to keeping it off, is that you must take conscious control of your decisions, instead of letting your unconscious mind pre-decide what you do in everything.

And please remember that your unconscious mind is a powerful part of your mind, and does not change as easily as your conscious mind. For example, you may read an article that tells you why being overweight is bad for you, and you may fully agree. What is really happening here, is that your conscious mind is agreeing. However, the real driver, the one who does the long-term actions for you, your unconscious mind, is still convinced that the way you were going before reading the article (i.e., not worrying about your weight, or changing your diet or the amount of exercise you do) is still the way to go. So, if you want to change your shape, long-term, you need to get your unconscious mind working for you, instead of against you, as it is currently doing.

Have you come up against the case, where you want to do something, but you just cannot get yourself to do it? This is a clear example where your conscious mind and unconscious minds are working against each other. On the other hand, you may have found the case where you can really easily (and consistently, long-term) work at something. In this case, your unconscious mind is in line with what your conscious mind wants, and your unconscious mind is working to power you forward towards what you want.

To get your unconscious mind on your side with regard to changing your body-shape, you need a System, because systems simply work. And that is what my book, “Why your mind keeps you Fat, and How you can Fix It!” does for you: You will understand your mind and get the mind-tools and a powerful but simple system to get your whole mind working for you. And you will get the latest information about your body, diet and how to use them together to change your body-shape. But above all this book will give you the Weight Loss You seek. All this, with a 100% money-back guarantee.

Get the book at that will get you the Weight Loss You want. This Book will change your life.

In this article I have helped you by raising your awareness about a possible culprit in your life: Your programmed mind. Think about it.

Then find a System to help you Take Some Action to Change Your Situation.

Talking about Weight Loss: How can Your Mind keep You Fat?

Matt was really interested in my Weight Loss site and my Weight Loss Book: Why your Mind keeps you Fat & How you can Fix It! .


"Let me have a look at your book", he said, while he browsed my Weight Loss site , pointing out usablility and technical "faults" to me.


(Matt is easily the most intelligent analyst/programmer I've met, his mind sharper than any razor blade, and I take his advice seriously.)


I smiled back. "Sure, sometime, but you don’t really need it, Matt. (Matt weighs all of 54 kgs). That book can help any one achieve Permanent Weight Loss, but you don’t have the problem. So you don’t need the solution."


"So why don’t you give a copy to X over there?" He asked, pointing with his eyes in X's direction. (X is the big man across the way.)


“I want to help people, but I don’t just give them my book. X, for example, would most probably spit at me rather than thank me for the book.
You see, people need to know they have a problem.


And then they must be motivated enough to look for a solution to their problem ( If they have been constantly battling their weight, or they are up and down like a yoyo, or they've never been in shape at all, all their lives.)


And hopefully, the realization that they're failing at getting the body they really want, will get them onto the Internet and they will find my site.


And hopefully they will buy my book, which will help them to fix their overweight lives,” I answered.


Still, Matt would not let me be.


"So why don’t you put that book out in hard copy?" he asked.


"I’ve a different long-term strategy", I answered. "I want to work with people, face to face, one on one. Personally help them to change."


"But how can you charge people for helping them?" asked Matt.


"Well, they've got a problem, I help them. And they get the Weight Loss result they want, that they need.


It's my time, knowledge and energy, the effort I've taken to put it all together. And they get results, results they can see, results that they dearly want in their lives, so I deserve payment", I answered.


"But how can your mind make you fat?" asked Matt, his cursor hovering over the image of my book on my Weight Loss site's first page.


"Many things about the way your mind works, or is conditioned to work, can make you fat: For example, you may have learnt to get fat from your environment, from your parents."


Matt looked at me incredulously “How would my parents make me fat?”


"Let me give you an example, Matt," I said.


"Recently Tanya, the kids and myself went away for a few days, camping out in the (Australian) Bush with a few other families.


A couple of the kids there, who were matched in age with my daughter (aged 8) and my eldest son (aged 6) were quite double the weight of my two children.


"Well, it could be that the parents are feeding them junk", interrupted Matt.


"Sure, their parents, especially the mother, were BIG. AND she did dish out a lot of junk.


But think about this, Matt. Tanya puts plates full of food in front of my kids. And both of us parents have to work hard to get our kids to eat even half of the food put before them.


My kids eat only so much and no more. You can't really force kids to eat.


And my kids are not running around the yard all day, burning up tons of energy, either. But they're half the size of those kids. So those other kids must be eating loads of stuff."


"The question then arises: How did these other kids learn to eat so much so that they get fat?"


"They're picking it up from their parents!


These parents, who really love them, and care for them, and who the kids look up to, are regularly putting away plates heaped with food.


What do the kids do, as a matter of course? They learn by example, without the parents having to tell them to eat up.


They learn the sad "joy" of having a belly over-filled with food every meal time, simply because their beloved mother sits back, over-stuffed with
fatty, buttery, cheese waffles, and groans happily about how "stoofed" she's feeling.


You see, they are learning a pattern of behavior, a "rule" for the rest of their lives.


And already, those poor kids have started showing the sad results of the "joy" of over-filling their stomachs, in their young over-weight bodies.


The other sad thing is, these kids will have enormous difficulty unlearning that "rule", that pattern of life that they have unconsciously picked up from their loving parents."


Matt's eyes widened, and his face looked as though a light-bulb had gone on in his head somewhere.



I guess he realized the truth in what I always harp on about ("It's your Mind that keeps you Fat").


He nodded, then. " And did you tell them about your book?"


"No," I said, sadly. "Like I said, people have to realize that they've got a weight problem themselves.


You can't take a horse to the water. When they are ready, they will search for the solution to their weight problem."


And hopefully, find a good Weight Loss Book that will fix the mind that keeps them fat.

Weight Loss? Work from the Inside Outwards

There's a stack of garbage going around about why so many people have a problem with weight loss, so let me, in my own way, try to set the record straight.

Most people who are overweight/fat/"just-a-little-out-of-shape" know this: they know what they need to do to change their shape, but they simply can't get themselves to do it!

Even a blind, illiterate recluse from the remote reaches of Tibet will tell you that to lose weight you need to ditch foods that make you fat, and embrace a regular schedule of exercise (and what kind of exercise is another kettle of fish, which we will come to later).

And yet, if you, like most people, don't quite have the (beautiful) body shape that you would love to have, you find yourself doing everything except eating well and exercising!

Listen up: If you are overweight/obese, just a little out of shape, or have more than a little extra on your belly or thighs, and you just can't seem to get yourself going or keep on going, you can bet that there's something deep down inside you that's holding you back, that something is actually a powerful part of Yourself.

And you need to Fix that Something that's holding you, literally enslaved, in a Body that you don't want!

Stay tuned, and learn how you can change your Mind, and change your Body: Auto-magically!
