A woman came for a healing session who was of a very jolly nature and making jokes. She wanted to have my help for losing weight but actually she was not worrying about the weight of her body. She said that when she gained weight, her breasts got very big and now she has pain in the shoulders and in the back from the weight of her breasts. But I liked her happiness and how she takes things.
She started making jokes and said to me: “Swami Ji see, it is very difficult for me to find a bra of my size. One of my friends told me a joke: A bra company made an advertisement for five different bra sizes: Small, Medium, Large, Wow and Oh My God!” After this joke were laughing a long time. It was great fun. But I also gave her some advice.
Always when someone comes to me and wants help in losing weight I tell them that I can help to strengthen the willpower but the decision is not mine to make. Everyone has to take this decision and then have discipline to watch the own eating habits and to move the body. Nobody else can do this for you but if you have a strong will and the firm decision, you can make it!
She understood what I meant and asked me if it would help to reduce the size of her breasts, too. I assured her that if it increased when she gained weight, it will also reduce when she loses weight.
Smilingly she asked me if she was allowed to eat sweets. She was surprised when I told her that she could absolutely eat sweets. There is nothing wrong in that, you just need to stick to one rule: only eat sweets right after a proper meal. In India we have a saying and the translation would be: End with sweets. So you finish your food and in the end have sweets. Just not in between and during the whole day. I think she liked sweets very much. She smiled and was happy that she can eat sweets at least with food.

I think it is always good to have a sweet as a little treat or reward for yourself (if you like them). After a meal is a good rule so that you don’t eat sweets all day. I have discovered, as with many addictions, an addiction to sweets is very hard to quit cold turkey. If you tell yourself you absolutely cannot have any, your mind will never leave it alone! But if you say, sure I can have sweets when the time is right… you won’t obsess over the thought of it and when it comes time to enjoy the sweet, it is really a special thing! It’s important to enjoy the little things in life, like dessert. But make sure it really is a special treat and not obsessive ritual.
