The Great Weight Debate
Episode 120: Want to solve child obesity. First solve adult obesity. It's really very simple
70 years ago, almost no one was overweight or fat, let alone obese. Obesity really didn't exist.So now experts are saying that there is an obesity crisis. Nonsense. There is no crisis. People are just putting too much food in their mouths. They are making themselves overweight, fat or obese. So why would they do something so stupid?They do it because having food in their mouths makes them feel better or less anxious. It is that emotional need that causes people to put so much food in their mouth.You can eliminate that emotional need, and you will no longer need to put food in your mouth to feel better. It's not difficult and it's free. Once adult obesity is solved by eliminating this emotional need, childhood obesity will follow.

Episode 117: EXPLAINING AGAIN WHY YOU ARE STUCK AT YOUR PRESENT WEIGHT AND CAN'T WEIGH LESS.
In order to understand why you are stuck at your weight - which you say you hate - you first have to understand why you made yourself weigh what you do. hint- it's not the food. Food didn't make you weigh what you do. You did!! all by yourself.So why would you do something as foolish as making yourself weigh too much? The answer is that you couldn't help it. Really!! Emotionally it was more important to you to keep putting food in your mouth than it was to weigh less. Really.You weigh what you weigh because it is a weight that enables you to continue to put lots of food in your mouth and have a stable weight. If you had a greater need to put food in your mouth you would do so and weigh more. It's that simple.Diets will never, ever, enable you to permanently weigh less than you do because they are premised on reducing or changing the amount or type of food that you need emotionally. That is emotional deprivation and will never last very long.In order to weigh less permanently or choose what you want to weigh you have to eliminate your emotional need for food. Your ENF. It's really simple and it's FREE!!

Episode 116: WANT TO KNOW WHY YOU WEIGH WHAT YOU WEIGH? HERE'S WHY.
You hate what you weigh but are unable to weigh less. Why is that? It's because every time you feel bad or want to feel better or don't get enough affection, love or other emotions you value you put food in your mouth. Your weight is determined by the amount of food you put in your mouth to satisfy those needs. Weighing 10 pounds less should be very simple. Just don't put as much food in your mouth. But you can't do that because it would deprive you of the foods that you depend on emotionally. That's called EMOTIONAL DEPRIVATION!! And it will never last. That's why "dieting" is a colossal waste of time - and money. Because it's based on emotional deprivation. You simply have to understand -  and feel - this concept to no longer need to put food in your mouth to satisfy your emotional needs. It is really that simple - and it's free.

Episode 114: DON'T YOU WONDER WHY YOU ARE UNABLE TO WEIGH LESS PERMANENTLY? HERE'S WHY.
You are unable to weigh less permanently because you are trying to satisfy your emotional needs by putting more food in your mouth than you need for nourishment. YOU MADE YOURSELF OVERWEIGHT OR FAT! You knew that you were gaining lots of weight that you didn't want to gain but it was more important - emotionally-  for you to put all that food in your mouth than it was to weigh less. Really!It's that simple. So when someone tells you that you should put less food or different foods in your mouth you are unable to do that for any length of time. That is just a diet and diets are a colossal waste of time and money because you need all that food in your mouth - and the foods that make you feel good or stop you from feeling bad- more than you want to weigh less. SO, THE REALITY IS THAT ALL DIETS ARE BASED ON EMOTIONAL DEPRIVATION!!!!  You will never emotionally deprive yourself of things you need to feel good or stop from feeling bad.So in order to weigh less, permanently, is to learn how to eliminate that emotional need for food that is keeping you captive - and weighing too much. The first thing is to tell yourself the truth about why you made yourself overweight or fat. Once you understand that the rest is easy. You will be able to weigh anything weight you want to weigh. And it's free. Keep your money. You will need it to buy new clothes.Stick with me and I will teach you how to do this.JOHN THOMAS

Episode 113: YOU WILL NEVER, EVER, PERMANENTLY "LOSE WEIGHT" ON ANY DIET. BUT YOU ALREADY KNOW THIS
So, here you are overweight or fat and are desperate to weigh less. You have been on diets and maybe your weight went down for a while. But then you gained back the weight you thought you had "lost". WHY WOULD YOU DO SOMETHING THAT STUPID?? Why gain weight that you tried to hard to "lose"? Because, believe it or not, you felt emotionally comfortable at the weight you say you hate. After all, you put enough food in your mouth to get to that weight! You did that on purpose. You could have weighed more or less but you chose that weight because you felt emotionally comfortable at that weight. It wasn't the food. It was you- just you. Nobody forced you to gain weight. You did it because you needed the food in your mouth to make you feel better or stop from feeling bad. It was more important to put all that food in your mouth than it was to weigh less. That is your - and everyone's - problem. It's that simple. Until you learn how to eliminate your emotional need for food you will always weigh what you hate to weigh. AND IT'S FREE. REALLY.

Episode 112: APPARENTLY I AM THE ONLY PERSON IN THE WORLD WHO UNDERSTANDS THE PROBLEM OF WEIGHT!!
Everyone seems to be asking you for money based on promises that they will enable you to permanently "lose weight." Everyone also knows that this is nonsense!! Diets will never enable you to permanently weigh less. WHY? Because you and just about everyone else on earth have been attempting to satisfy their emotional needs with food. Putting food in your mouth makes you feel better and stops you from feeling bad. It is just that simple. So diets say to give up foods that you need emotionally or in the amounts you need emotionally. That is never going to happen over any period of time. AGAIN, FOOD IN NOT THE PROBLEM!!! YOU ARE YOUR OWN PROBLEM. If you want to weight less permanently you have to deal with and eliminate the emotional need you feel to keep putting so much food in your mouth. Once that need is gone you will never weigh more than you want to again. REALLY!!! It's not difficult and it's FREE!! You will never have to pay anyone anything to weigh less again.

YOU HAVE NOT HAD A CHOICE ABOUT WHAT YOU WEIGH - UNTIL NOW!!
Here you are weighing too much and are very unhappy about it. You say you would do anything to weigh less but you are unable to do so. WHY??? HERE'S WHY. You may hate what you weigh but believe it or not, you are emotionally comfortable weighing what you do. REALLY!! Weighing what you do enables you continue to put enough food in your mouth to feel good and stop you from feeling bad. All diets are based on the absurd notion that you can just stop putting food in your mouth that you need emotionally. That is emotional deprivation and will never last. That's why you never be able to weigh less permanently -UNLESS YOU UNDERSTAND AND FEEL YOUR EMOTIONAL NEED FOR FOOD!!! In other words, you have to understand why you made yourself overweight and why you continue to put enough food in your mouth to stay at the weight you say you hate.

Episode 110: IF YOU WANT TO WEIGH LESS WHY ARE YOU STILL PUTTING TOO MUCH FOOD IN YOUR MOUTH?
So, here you are, overweight or fat, yet you continue to put way more food in your mouth than you need for nourishment. You know that it's keeping you weighing too much yet you continue to do it. WHY? WHY WOULD YOU DO SOMETHING SO FOOLISH? The reason that you continue to put so much food in your mouth is that it makes you feel better and stops you from feeling bad. In other words, you are doing it for emotional reasons. It has nothing to do with the food itself. Food just sits there. You have to get it and put it in your mouth. IT IS 100 % YOU. NOBODY ELSE!! Diets are a colossal waste of time and money. Diets cannot enable you to weigh less permanently because they are ALL based on emotional deprivation. They try to take away foods that you need emotionally. I am probably the only person in the world who understands this and knows how to permanently eliminate your emotional need for food. And its all FREE. Once you learn how to do that you can weigh any weight you choose. REALLY!

Episode 109: DID YOU GAIN WEIGHT DURING COVID WHEN YOU WERE STUCK AT HOME? HERE'S WHY.
OK. You were stuck at home for months during the pandemic. Did you gain weight? Really? Why? People say they gained 15 pounds!! You knew putting more food in your mouth than you needed for nourishment would increase your weight -something you didn't want to happen. But you felt an emotional need to keep putting food in your mouth when you knew it would make you unhappy about your weight. The fact is that you have virtually no control over your weight on a permanent basis!! Really. That's because you have been using food to satisfy your emotional needs. You don't have a weight problem. You feel you need food in your mouth to make you feel better or stop you from feeling bad. Once you really understand this then you will no longer need to keep putting food in your mouth for those reasons. THEN YOU WILL BE ABLE TO WEIGH WHATEVER YOU WANT. REALLY!! AND IT'S ALL FREE.

Episode 108: YOU THINK YOU WEIGH TOO MUCH BECAUSE YOU HAVE A BIG "APPETITE" OR YOU " LOVE FOOD"? THINK AGAIN!!
Okay. You weigh too much and you hate it. You want to weigh less but you can't. You think that it's because you have a big "appetite." NONSENSE. Do you know what your appetite is? Probably not. It's just a reflection of your emotional need to put food in your mouth. It was more important to you -emotionally- to put lots of food in your mouth than it was to weigh less. It's that simple. Your "love" for food is the same thing. You don't "love" food. You feel you need it in your mouth because it makes you feel better and stops you from feeling bad. You continue to put enough food in your mouth to cause you to continue to weigh what you do. You have become "emotionally comfortable" at your weight. That's why you will almost certainly regain the weight you thought you had "lost." That's why diets are a colossal waste of time and money. Your money. Learn how to eliminate your emotional need for food. Then you can weigh any weight you choose!!!

Episode 105: YOU ARE OVERWEIGHT AND INVITED TO A BUFFET WITH ALL YOUR FAVORITE FOODS. WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO?
So, you are standing at a buffet with every food you love and you can hardly wait to start putting them in your mouth. BUT WAIT A MINUTE. You weigh too much and you hate it. Why are you going to put so much food in your mouth since you know it will cause you to weigh more. Have you lost your mind? Have you gone crazy? Why would you do something that causes you to weigh more when you say you hate it? The reason is that you feel you need to put all that food in your mouth is that the taste and texture of the food makes you feel better and stops you from feeling bad. REALLY. It's not the food. The food just sits there. It's how it makes you feel. If you didn't put all that food in your mouth you would feel deprived. It is your emotional need for food that keeps you weighing what you do. The good news is that you can eliminate your emotional need for food and weigh whatever you want. REALLY. And it's free. No need to pay anyone anything.

HOW WOULD YOU LIKE TO WEIGH WHAT YOU WANT TO WEIGH? REALLY.
Here you are overweight and unhappy about your weight. So everyone tells you to go on a diet. They have no idea what they are talking about. Your weight is not your problem. It is only a SYMPTOM of your problem. Your problem is that you are putting too much food in your mouth!! All diets are fundamentally a waste of time and money. Your money. They just try to eliminate the SYMPTOM. What a joke. Trying to eliminate the SYMPTOM without eliminating the cause of your problem is utter nonsense. If you have a rash and go to your doctor you know that just trying to rub away the rash is foolishness. Your doctor has to find what caused the rash and give you medicine to eliminate the cause. It's the same with weight. Dieting is just trying to make the symptom go away without eliminating the what caused you to weigh so much. Learn how to eliminate the real problem- the emotional reasons that cause you to put all that food in your mouth. It's all free!!

YOU WANT TO "LOSE WEIGHT" ? YOU DON'T HAVE A CHANCE!!!!
Virtually everyone who "loses weight" gains it back. Why would anyone regain the weight they fought so hard to "lose"? It's really very simple. It's because you and everyone else are "emotionally comfortable" at their weight. You can tell yourself that you hate weighing what you do but you find yourself unable to weigh less. Isn't that just crazy! You can do so many things well: work, raise a family, deal with your other problems and responsibilities but you cannot control your weight. It's why you made yourself overweight or fat. It's your emotional need to put food in your mouth to deal with life's ups and downs. You made yourself weigh what you do - but not gain more weight- because it enables you to continue to put the food in your mouth and stay at your weight. The only way to control your weight is to eliminate your emotional need for food.

WANT TO WEIGH LESS PERMANENTLY? IT'S EASY BUT FIRST YOU HAVE TO UNDERSTAND WHY YOU MADE YOURSELF OVERWEIGHT OR FAT
The "weight loss" industry has persuaded you that all you have to do is give them your money and they will put you on some sort of diet or weight loss program. NONSENSE. That is a proven waste of your time and money. Your problem has nothing to do with food itself. Food just lies there. It was you, and only you, who put that food in your mouth. WHY? Because it made you feel better or stopped you from feeling bad. All diets and weight loss programs are fatally flawed because they deprive you of foods that you feel you need emotionally. They are based on emotional deprivation - which you can only stand for a short period of time. Once you emotionally understand why you made yourself overweight or fat it is a simple matter to weight whatever you want to weigh!! Really!! And it's free!!
