As a person who specializes in weight loss and health, I’ve realized long ago that what a person eats has nothing to do with any successful weight loss or disease reversal journey. The most important aspect to any human’s behavior is where they’re going to get the most safety, security and group support. If being overweight and sick gets that person the most group support, connection and energy…..often that’s where they’ll stay. Human behavior is about finding the safest spot on a psychological level. For example, if a lady finds she’ll always get more attention being sick and overweight, as opposed to being healthy and thin, the genetic need for connection steers her behavior from the far reaches of her subconscious mind. Where’s the biggest herd? Where can I get the most connection? What are my friends and family doing? How do I best fit in with them, without rocking the boat? When someone enters an environment where sickness is normalized, glorified, celebrated, supported and promoted as “just the way things are”………….most people are going to feather their nest inside that flock. What looks like safety in numbers….becomes a quick trip to the graveyard.
