Hi, Hypnosis Friends!<\/p>\n

The internet is full of interesting things. \u00a0Here’s an item\u00a0that caught my attention. \u00a0Mattel toys has created a new line of Barbies for the first time showing different body types, including “curvy.”<\/p>\n

On the surface this seems like a nice thing, showing young girls that there is more than one\u00a0ideal of beauty. \u00a0I grew up with this one:<\/p>\n

Barbie was blonde, perfect blue eyes, beautiful face, long eyelashes, pencil thin disproportionately long legs, with a big\u00a0chest and tiny waist. \u00a0This was nothing like my own image in the mirror. \u00a0My husband calls\u00a0her “anorexic Barbie” and noted what a terrible thing if little girls take that look as an ideal of beauty. \u00a0Some<\/a> do.<\/p>\n

So, why am I against the idea of curvy Barbies?<\/p>\n

I think\u00a0curvy Barbie\u00a0is\u00a0another piece of something I dislike called “fat acceptance.” \u00a0My expertise is understanding how the unconscious mind perceives and creates reality, and “fat acceptance” is inherently an unhealthy message.<\/p>\n

Carrying excess weight on the body is a definite health risk, to every organ and system of the body. \u00a0Ask your physician! \u00a0It leads to a host of illnesses and an early death. \u00a0And it’s absolutely not a cause for a fatalistic view: \u00a0that’s who I am and I’m going to accept it. \u00a0NO! I believe fat acceptance comes from a place of hopelessness. \u00a0The truth is, losing weight and maintaining a healthy weight is in our control, and actually easy, with the right tools (skilled hypnotherapy and NLP).<\/p>\n

Fat is not genetic, it’s a choice. \u00a0People that truly love and accept themselves take action to safeguard their health–because they’re worth it!<\/p>\n

There are plus size women\u00a0flaunting their rolls of fat<\/a> in bikinis and revealing gowns and such. They’re not doing it from a place of healthy self love, they’re doing it from a place of anger and antagonism and “in your face!” That’s my take on it. \u00a0They call it\u00a0“Fat Liberation” (don’t liberate it in front of me). \u00a0“Fat Liberation” is hazardous to health.<\/p>\n

I personally will always find fat unattractive. \u00a0It’s not beautiful. \u00a0It never was, and it never will be.\u00a0Furthermore,\u00a0It’s more\u00a0unhealthy than it is\u00a0unattractive. \u00a0Obesity is an epidemic in this country, a massive one. \u00a0And it’s not good. \u00a0And telling little girls it’s OK to be fat, that is not good, either. \u00a0My two cents.<\/p>\n

Here’s the bottom line. I think people are powerful. More than they know. I think people have more control than they know. I think people can create any kind of life or body they want for themselves. I think people can learn to feel amazingly good and make good decisions for themselves. And accepting unhealthy ways and habits is never good.<\/p>\n

I dislike “smoking acceptance,” also. Clients come in and say: “I’m a smoker.” No, you’re not. It’s something you’re choosing to do, it’s not who you ARE. Fat is not who you are, either. It might be your current state of mind, but that can change in a heartbeat.

I believe self love leads to self care. \u00a0When you’re ready to experience real self-love, in a body size by design, we can help you do that in a healthy, natural way at Mindworks Hypnosis & NLP.<\/p>\n
