Obesity
Obesity is a state of being abnormally fat and is one of the ways in which we hide our true self, true power, purpose and sexuality. We are caught in major patterns of indulgence and sacrifice; we are substituting food for love, bonding and creativity. We have deep feelings of insecurity and are trying to fill up our unconscious, hidden feelings of desolation, misery and desperation. Our obesity is an attempt to create padding to protect us from the shocks and downfalls of life. Overeating is a way to tranquilize our emotional pain and fear. There may be a massive compensation for feelings of failure.
