Some of symptoms of FABS in your life are:

Feeling as if everything that happens is your “fault” Constant apologizing Feelings of depression and unworthiness Getting stuck in bad relationships Always being a “giver” Surrounding yourself with “takers” Being afraid of change Never standing up for oneself Being overweight Back problems

People infested with FABS are often overweight because they use food as a medication, unknowingly trying to eliminate pain that FABS causes; or they use weight as protection against an uncertain and painful world. Excess weight can be a wonderful buffer, and can become as comforting as a favorite blanket. FABS sufferers often have back problems as well, because they consciously or unconsciously feel that they have no support in their lives. Lack of emotional support=back pain!

Once FABS have moved into your life they are extremely hard to get rid of, but not impossible by any means! It takes work, dedication and a real desire to get them out of your life. You may need a good FABS exterminator, which can be a therapist or a personal coach. Getting rid of FABS in your life is a very important step to take, no matter how difficult it may be. Once they are gone, you cannot imagine how good life will feel, how bright sun shines and how far you can go on your path!

Third, examine your current relationships. IF YOUR CURRENT RELATIONSHIPS ARE NOT GOOD, CHANGE THEM! People infected with FABS often have surrounded themselves with people who are infected as well. Since you can’t change them, you are going to have to get strong enough to let them go. If you are successful in driving FABS from your life, they are not going to want to be around you anyway, or they are going to try and re-infect you. Misery loves company. Once you have gotten rid of your FABS, then you will attract like-minded people to you, ones that do not have FABS either.

As you learn to live in moment, to not try and make other people change and that you deserve better relationships, FABS will find that they are not welcome in your life. They will move on to some other unsuspecting person, or better yet, they may just cease to exist. It can be scary to rid yourself of FABS, but remember, they are causing you to feel that way! They don’t want to leave; you have to make them leave. It is so worth time and effort to do this, being cured of FABS is fabulous.
