Losing Weight Starts with the Soul, Part 3 of 5

Controlling cravings at the start of any weight loss or reduction program is sometimes difficult a first. To many cakes, cookies, snack foods, simple carbohydrates and fried foods can sometimes be hard to resist. Especially if they are some of the foods you have grown accustom to eating. Incorporating a good multi-vitamin supplement into your new eating lifestyle and following a good detoxification program initially before you begin to make changes can help curb some of the cravings. There is also another Bach Flower remedy can help you cope with the changes you are about to make in eating habits.

Chestnut Bud is a great remedy to use when you have a hard time resisting the urge to resort back to old eating habits. Dr Edward Bach describes this remedy:

“This Remedy is to help us to take full advantage of our daily experiences, and to see ourselves and our mistakes as others do.”

Some of the indications for this remedy are:

Repeat making the same mistake over and over.
Compulsive repetition of actions
Takes a long time to learn from experience

Why do we continue to do the things we try hard not to do? We may be stubborn or choose to ignore our own inner voice. We may suffer from lack of observation or into denial. Whatever the reason, Chestnut Bud will help you learn from experience and help remind you if you drift back into the temptation you are trying hard to avoid.

If you are feeling impatient with the slow process of losing weight or have suffered a set back and feel discouraged. In the next installment, I will be discussing the two remedies; Impatiens and Gentian that can help with theses two states experienced during the weight loss process.
