Read part of the transcript below: Greetings friends, this is Marc David, founder of the Institute for the Psychology of Eating. Today’s Topic: Spiritual Lessons We Can Learn from Weight Here’s the reality that everyone knows: We live in a world where weight, body fat, extra pounds, gaining it, and losing it are all a very big deal. Our collective concern around weight is one of the biggest conundrums that impact the human heart and mind. The amount of pain and suffering that occurs around this topic can easily be described as profound. Clearly what we’re doing when it comes to weight loss doesn’t work. I don’t take this topic lightly at all, and for that reason I think it’s important that we all do our best to shed more light on this subject. And shining the light of skillful consciousness means we look to other dimensions to help find pieces of the weight loss, weight gain puzzle that may be of importance. In my 30+ years of research, clinical experience, inquiry, curiosity, and deep care around this topic, I’m often led to a particular and unexpected place: Spirituality. Please forgive me if you don’t like that word or if it doesn’t apply to you. If you’re an atheist, then substitute the term “character growth and development.” If you come from a faith and Bible-based approach, then substitute the term “how God is asking me to grow.” And if you’re cool with the term spirituality, here’s what I mean: There’s a dimension that goes beyond what the eye can see. There’s a hidden architecture to the universe. There are unseen forces that move us and guide us that we tend to know very little about. And the great saints, sages, prophets, religious and spiritual leaders throughout history have all pretty much agreed that when we set our sights towards the realm of the spiritual or sacred – our vision begins to open up. With all this in mind, I’d like to share with you 1 important spiritual lesson that we can learn from weight. And when I say weight, I’m talking about the challenges we face in trying to lose it, the challenges we face in not weighing the number that we want, of dealing with the prejudices and judgments of others, and the challenge of dealing with our own harsh commentary about the body we been given.
