Thinking Thin: How Your Thoughts Can Help You Lose Weight
Wednesday, November 29th, 2006By Melody Biggar
Every thought you have about your weight and health has made you the way you are today. Your career, your relationships, your health…are all a direct result of your past thinking. If you look in the mirror and think “I’m fat,” then you are sending this message directly to your subconscious and thus you will be fat. If you are constantly thinking, “I need to lose weight,” then you will constantly be in the state of needing to lose more weight.
Affirmations can help you jump-start your weight-loss goals. Affirmations are your own words or phrases of encouragement to yourself. You can use these anytime you feel low energy, negativity, the urge to overeat, or skip your workout etc.
Your affirmations or mantras must be in the present tense. Instead of saying “I will lose weight and be fit in one month,” say “I am losing more weight every day.” Always say your mantras as if they are in the present, not in the future or you will be constantly trying to get thin rather than just be thin.
Here are some positive affirmations you can give yourself during your weight loss journey. Repeat them every day.
“I am thin, healthy and beautiful.”
“I am beautiful exactly as I am.”
“I am thin and fit.”
“I am healthy and in shape.”
“I look and feel lighter everyday.”
“I enjoy being healthy.”
“I love the food that makes me thin.”
“My body is getting stronger, slimmer, and healthier every day.”
“My clothes fit perfectly on my thin new body.”
“I love my body.”
“It is easy to be healthy.”
Repeat your affirmations throughout the day. Even if it seems untrue at the time, keep repeating them. Be patient. Work on your mind. Your body will follow.
The secret of Successful People:
Do you know what the secret to every success is? Positive Thinking and Visualization. It is true that “If you can dream it, you can do it.” Ask any successful businessperson, actor or millionaire. They will tell you that this is the key to all their success.
The law of attraction is constantly in action. Whatever you think about you bring about. As long as you think you’re fat you will be fat. Think thin! Visualize yourself as the person you want to be and act as if you are that person. Write it out. Sing it. Photoshop your face on the body of a super model if you have to. But don’t stick it in a drawer. Look at it everyday. Hold that image in your mind. Your mind will tell your body to make it a reality!
