Why You’re Terrified Of Losing Weight

My life flashed before my eyes and I was gripped with fear.

I really thought I was going to die.

But as I looked around, everyone else around me was completely calm.

They were reading their books, eating snacks and chatting as if nothing was happening.

But why was I so scared?

I was trying to be rational but for some reason I have developed a fear of flying.

I never used to be scared of flying at all, but now I am terrified.

Well it’s not actually a fear of flying, but a fear of turbulence.

I am fine taking off in the plane, and when everything is going smoothly.

But as soon as there is a slightest bit of turbulence, I am terrified and feel like I’m going to die.

My husband sits with my kids so they don’t see me being terrified as they love flying and find it all so exciting.

I know in my rational mind that turbulence is normal, and it’s just like a few bumps on the road when you’re in a car.

But for some reason when my stomach drops and I start to feel sick, I can’t seem to rationalise the fear away.

Fear is something that we all struggle with in some ways, even if we’re not aware of it.

I read a great book lately called feel the fear and do it anyway. It’s such an amazing book and if you haven’t read it, I recommend you read it. It’s not just good for fear, but good for living a happy life too.

I think I need to find some strategies for overcoming my own fear, and there are plenty of things we can do such as hypnotherapy, educating ourselves as to why our fear is irrational, CBT, essential oils, breathing, affirmations.

So I’m going to go and try one of the above suggestions myself, and I’ll keep you posted on whether it works for me.

I have tried essential oils for fear before and they have worked really well, but when I’m gripped with fear on a plane I am too busy holding on for dear life and can’t even reach down and grab my oils at that point.

So I will try something else, perhaps hypnotherapy as I’ve heard great things about that.

What are you afraid of?

Do you know some people are actually afraid of being happy? It’s actually quite common and I understand why. If you’re happy then you put yourself at an even greater risk of disappointment in the future.

Some people are afraid to lose weight, and be healthy as they are scared as to how their life would change in the process.

Would their partners still feel the same way about them?

Would they attract unwanted attention?

Will their colleagues and friends take a different attitude to them?

Will they experience jealousy?

I encourage you to have a good think about this question….

Is there something stopping you from losing weight and allowing yourself to be healthy?

You might surprise yourself if you ponder on this question over the next few days.

And when you do feel ready to embrace health, happiness and freedom I want to encourage you to take the next step and take my 28 day Leaf System challenge at no cost to you.

Hi Katherine,
I just wanted to tell you I completed the 7 day detox and I feel so great.
I have lost 6lbs, do not feel like I need more my morning coffee, the flushing of my facial skin from rosacea has dramatically reduced and I am so excited to wake up each morning and make a green thickie for breakfast!!
I am a stay at-home, homeschooling momma of 3 littles and at times so busy I would forget to feed myself!
I would go most of the day without eating and then snack on random things.
I gained 60 pounds the last 6 years during pregnancy.
I have lost 30lbs but recently plateaued and have felt so frustrated.
I’ve tried everything from paleo and keto to the point where I didn’t know what to eat or how much and felt like even eating fruit was bad for me which thankfully it’s not!
What a game changer for me. Thank you for sharing a simple but effective program.

I’m so excited to continue another week with this plan! Thankful Stephanie
