Appetite and Your Heart

If I have in any way been able to explain to you how the brain controls your appetite, I would be remiss to not go deeper and talk about what fuels the brain.  In our physical bodies, the heart pumps blood to the brain so the brain can make all the voluntary and involuntary decisions we need to live.  The brain controls everything, but the heart fuels the brain.  And so it is in this weight loss process.  We respect the power of the brain, without neglecting the source of the heart.

Without the source of fuel from the heart, the brain dies.  So your heart is the life-giving source for your brain in controlling your appetite.  You must emotionally pump fuel to your brain/your brain's decisions.  But what exactly does that mean and what is this fuel?  That means in order for your brain to make the necessary decisions in controlling your appetite, you must emotionally support it.  You must feel love.  For yourself.  The fuel is LOVE.  I know, in words, this is so trite.  In practice, this is the most powerful energy source of the entire universe that you can tap into.  But how does one tap into it?  Really?  We can talk about it, preach about it, and read about it all day long, but how does one really tap into this all-encompassing, unconditional, saving grace of love?

In our first coaching session, we lead our clients through a very powerful exercise that leads them to the core essence of this love.  They tap into it, they touch it, they feel it and it becomes real to them in a way that they were not aware of before.  Call it weight loss redemption or salvation, it's the same principle.  The heart is at the heart of this.
