Is Body Positivity For Overweight People Really Positive?

I’m all for people learning to love themselves – flaws and all! However, I’m going to make the bold statement that people who are extremely overweight are far from someone who loves themselves!

I know that may trigger some of you, but before you get on your high horse please hear me out. I say this not to be nasty or make people feel bad about themselves, but rather to highlight the dangers of this ‘body positive’ movement!

It seems to me that a lot of people don’t seem to understand the underlying root causation of obesity. People seem to think it’s just because someone eats too much unhealthy food, or their genetics made them that way. Although both can be a contributing factor, neither is actually the driving force behind the obesity.

The real root causation is unprocessed emotions (trauma) that becomes trapped energy within the body. The overeating is merely a coping mechanism that stems from this emotional overload. The overeating is a symptom not the root causation. The same applies to genetics, unprocessed emotions can be passed down the hereditary family line as an energy transference. It is not an unchangeable genetic inheritance!

We are, first and foremost, energetic beings, here having a human experience. Unfortunately, our society doesn’t teach us that, which is why we view and treat the body and mind as separate from the spirit (energy). When in actual fact, the body, mind, and spirit are intrinsically intertwined. Nothing can actually create dis-ease within the body and mind, unless the energy of the spirit has a disturbance within it first.

You often hear people say “Well, I’m only overweight because of the medication I’m on”. To that I simply say “Well, what has disturbed your energy field in order for you to need medication in the first place?” You see, the symptom of being overweight is always a clear sign that the body is trying to ‘protect/pad’ itself from some kind of hurt. Hurt (emotions) that is stored and left unprocessed within the body.

This is why so many struggle to lose weight no matter how hard they try to reduce the ‘symptom’ of overeating. They often have a time of losing weight through implementing a strict diet and exercise regime, but they can never sustain it on a permanent basis. This is because they are addressing the symptom, not the root causation. If they worked on releasing the trapped emotional baggage first, then they would be able to have sustainable weight shifts. But, because Western medicine has no understanding of the intrinsic connection between body, mind, spirit, the obese or overweight person is forced into either taking weight loss medication/injections which have more dangerous side-effects than the weight they are already carrying. Or, they embody this false and extremely unhealthy ideology that, rather than fix, their dis-ease they must embrace and love the fact that they are fat.

I’m actually gobsmacked at the amount of people who think that either of these (extremely poor) options is a good choice! And, I’m even more blown away by the reasonably healthy people who have jumped on this ‘body positivity’ bandwagon. Being overweight or obese is no different to someone who is a drug addict! Overeating food is their drug of choice to soothe their unprocessed trauma. No one on this planet encourages a drug addict to just love themselves for how they are, and keep poisoning themselves with whatever their drug of choice is! So, why in the hell do people think it’s acceptable to do the same with someone who is addicted to food?

I’ve watched someone in my family circle who has clearly inherited trapped emotions from her Mother, now pass on the same load of unprocessed emotions to her little boy. He’s ten-years old and is so morbidly obese that he can barely see out of his eyes. He struggles to wipe his own backside. The amount of health problems he already has at such a young age is heartbreaking. And, it’s actually nothing short of child abuse! Not that we are ‘allowed’ to say that, or show concern, or try to help this kid in someway, because that would be classed as ‘body shaming’ under this toxic ‘body positivity’ movement.

Some of you are more concerned about what others may think of you, but personally, I’m more concerned about the general health of these people (physically and mentally), and the strain they put on society, both medically and financially. They really have no hope for a healthy, happy and prosperous life. Not unless everyone stops supporting what is politically correct, over what is morally and medically healthy!

These people need help to heal a body, a mind, a spirit that is incredibly unwell! They don’t need mental delusions to take them further into their pain… So, the next time you feel yourself cheering for the body positive movement just stop and ask yourself: is what I’m doing really positive, or am I actually perpetuating a very serious and life threatening problem?
