The thing about the vortex is you access it by raising your vibration high on the Emotional Scale. At a high vibration certain things can happen. Any lower vibing emotions that may have contributed to over eating will just no longer be present. You may spontaneously choose better foods to nourish your body, and have the energy to move your body more and exercise.

I'm not saying this to judge but you mentioned that you loved food. There's nothing wrong with this, of course, which leads to another possibility. You might be vibing so high that you no longer worry about losing weight and simply just accept your body how it is. What freedom that would be for most people.

Whether overweight, underweight or even with the perfect weight (whatever that means according to societal standards), many people will still find flaws in their appearance. At a lower vibration the ego or small self is more in charge with its constant criticism. At higher levels, the ego takes more of back seat with your Higher Self in the driver's seat.

It's a funny thing but people raise their vibration to get their stuff they're manifesting in LOA. But the cosmic joke is that some key things on the manifesting list that were so important in lower vibrations, become less and less important the higher you go up the scale. It's happened to me personally. The even funnier joke is because you have no resistance whatsoever to those things, they start to pop into your reality. So long story short: just concentrate on raising your vibration. And see what happens.

PS. If weight loss is important to you right now you can try a CBT approach through Noom.com. This company has had extraodinary success at reprogramming people's minds to eat better and healthier. This is something you could do right now, and any positive subconscious programming will push you up the scale.
