In the past 10 years, I have gained a whopping 5 stone. I believe my body is out of whack as a result of working too hard and not looking after myself as much as I should. I was guided by the Universe to help others with their own weight struggles in order to help myself. So I started the Energetic Wellness Club – you can sign up for the free Facebook group here.
It works with Moonology because guess what? The Moon is all about food! (Among other things!)
Today I read an article (link below) which talks about how stress makes you gain weight. It’s all a vicious cycle too. The more weight you gain, the more weight you gain. OUTRAGEOUS!
I gained weight when I had my son but lost most of it by the time he was 2. Then, my beautiful Dad passed away after four months of illness. I’ve always known I started to gain during this very stressful period, and always thought it was just because I “forgot” to be careful about what I ate.
Now it all starts to make sense.
On top of losing my Dad, my beloved son was still waking up at least once a night (bless him, he now sleeps like … a baby!) Plus it was a very intense work period as we had just bought our house…
Reading this article helped me understand:
1. why I started to gain weight
2. why I have continued to gain weight
3. why regular stress-busting exercise (including yoga!) and meditation is so important!
Not only does exercise burn calories, it creates endorphins which counter stress. Meditation is a tool which allows us to handle stress.
Come on everyone, we can do it!
The research doesn’t say if meditation and yoga can help us lose weight but it certainly seems it can help us not to gain more!
Who said the Daily Mail can’t be enlightening (sometimes!)
