I'm too Fat (Part 2)—The Work of Byron Katie

- Can you find another turnaround, "I'm too fat"? - I'm not too fat. - Now give me an example of how that could be true? - I'm not too fat for the clothes that I have. - That's one. Your clothes fit you perfectly. Okay. - The other one that comes to mind, you know how sometimes you sit in those seats and if you're large you might have to kind of sit in two, I'm not that size. - So you're not too fat to sit in seats. - I can fit on my son's twin bed. - Yeah, you're not too fat, I'm hearing, to live your life comfortably. - Yeah, exactly, I'm not too fat to live my life comfortably. - And this is one that I found very, very important when I did this work: I'm not too fat to be me. I am too fat to be her. I'm not fat enough to be him. But I am just right to be me. And in a perfect universe, someone has got to be you. He couldn't do it, he couldn't survive your path. She couldn't do it. She couldn't live through what you've lived through. There's only one person that can be you and that's you. Perfectly you. You could be thin tomorrow, who knows, but right now in this moment it is what it is. And no prayer, no begging, no pleading, no crying, no tantrum will change that, in this moment. And who knows the future? I like to say the future is none of my business. Can I be happy from right here, right now? I'm not too tall to be me, I'm not too short to be me. I weigh the perfect amount. I'm the perfect age. I've got the perfect hair. I have the perfect clothes right now in this moment. I am the perfect everything to be me. What else can you be? It's like there are two ways to weigh what you do. One is happy, healthy, and the other is miserable and depressed. And we saw very clearly in "how do I react when I believe the thought?" and "who would I be without it?", we saw very clearly the difference. And the cause of suffering, and it's not the body. It absolutely was not the body, it was your thinking. - So, are you too fat? - No, I'm definitely not too fat. - Not possible.
