Buried Belief
- “If I lose weight, I will be seen.”
- “If I am seen, I will be judged.”
- “If I become attractive, I may be harmed.”
- “If I change, people may reject me.”
- “If I lose weight, I lose my protection.”
- “If I become healthy, I lose my excuse.”
Hard-to-Go Place
Allowing change, visibility, attention, success, sexuality, and responsibility without retreating into the old pattern. Weight loss may remove a barrier, excuse, shield, identity, hiding place, or protection from being seen, desired, judged, touched, or expected to grow.
Next Step
Ask, "What would become uncomfortable if I actually changed?"
