Shannon's Journal Discussion Thread, Vol. 5

[Shannon]

Also I’ve been using the Appetite Suppressant sub but it doesn’t really seem to be working if anything I’ve gotten hungrier and have gained weight since starting it

As of today I’m 5’11 and 236 lbs (so I’m definitely not underweight lol)

I’ve tried all 3 versions and have even tried playing it all day

Also I think my issues with weight extend beyond simply just appetite and I may perhaps need a total package weight loss sub - but thought I’d try this one anyway

What you're describing is a subconscious reverse resistance response, which means that some part of your subconscious associates you being overweight with you being safe.  If what I have seen from most of my analyses holds true here too, it probably believes for some reason that if you lose weight, you will die.  Given that level of threat it is attempting to reverse the results and cause you to stay safe by making weight loss impossible.

So you see, the program is working, but your subconscious is reversing the results to "keep you safe".

This program isn't a simple one.  The only way it will fail to achieve its goals is if one of the following possibilities are true:

1. You are already at your ideal weight.
2. Your subconscious perceives the instruction set as "being controlled" or "being told what to do", and stonewalls it, producing what looks like no result.
3. Your subconscious perceives achieving your ideal weight as being a mortal threat, and does whatever it has to in order to prevent you from "dying".

My question to you is... why does your subconscious see achieving your ideal weight as being a death threat?  What happened to you that made you conclude that you needed to be overweight to stay safe?

A "total package" weight loss subliminal will result in the exact same result, as long as the fear holding you in place isn't dealt with.  So what you need is something to overcome that fear.  The "total package" weight loss subliminal that I build will have the appetite suppressant in it, as well as FRM 4.9 or later, but I don't know when that is coming out.

The thing is even if I know or think I know what the reasons are regarding why I am afraid (with regards to this sub, all subs I’ve tried and will ever try) how does that do anything with regards to me achieving my goals and the goals of the subs used 

How does knowing/understanding what it is that you’re afraid of cause you to stop being afraid and therefore causing you to get rid of the fear and moving forward with life and going about achieving goals

I don’t think why I’m afraid or what causes the fear really matters if I don’t know how to/am not able to get rid of it and move past it   

Looking forward to your perspective on this

Knowing WHY you are afraid allows you to deal with the root cause.  Once you have dealt with the root cause of the fear, you no longer have the fear.  The resistance stops, and the goals are achieved.

Knowing why you are afraid at a conscious level allows you to apply your conscious mind's abilities to the problems in some cases.  That means that by consciously realizing, "Oh, that is why I am afraid of X?", you can change the "program" (beliefs) that causes that fear.  Not in all cases, but some.

In other cases, knowing why you are afraid gives you the direction to go in to overcome the fears.  

In some cases, you may need FRM, hypnosis, NLP or a therapist to overcome the fear.

But the more you understand what is causing your fear, the better equipped you are to deal with and change it.
