“Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions.” – Mark Twain
I know the following may sound strange, but like everything else in life, Weight management is a matter of choice.
The little secret is to decide what you want and to “stick” to it.
No more doubts, no more self destructive thought of any kind are to be allowed in your mind.
A little trick of mine I like to use, whenever a doubt tries to make his way in my mind, is to automatically picture myself slim with a healthy and lean body full of energy, glowing with health and happiness.
Wow, that feels good. It always brings a smile and a warm feeling…
Walt Disney said: “If you can dream it, you can do it”.
Shouldn’t we give it a try?
Try it. Remember this feeling, and use it whenever you need some help to discard your doubts. We must conquer these self defeating thoughts that pop up from time to time.
You know what you don’t want.
You don’t want to be overweight.
You don’t want any health problem.
You don’t want to buy extra large size clothes.
You don’t want to feel tired.
You don’t want to feel depressed.
You don’t want your weight to hold you back.
You don’t want……………….. , you know better than me what you do not want, please fill the blanks.
Now that you and I know what we do not want, why not choose what we do want.
“I don’t want to be overweight”, becomes
“I want to be slim, I want to weight xxx pounds/kilograms.
I want to wear a size xxx.”
“I don’t want any health problem”, becomes
“I want to be healthy”. Even better “I am healthy”.
“I don’t want to buy extra large size clothes”, becomes
“I want to buy size S/M clothes”.
“I don’t want to feel tired”, becomes
“I am full of energy”.
“I don’t want to feel depressed”, becomes
“I am confident and enthusiastic”.
“I don’t want my weight to hold me back”, becomes
“I can do anything I choose”.
The best way I found to overcome my negative thoughts is to think and believe in their opposites.
The best trick is the shift to positive thinking; turning every single “I don’t want” to “I want” or “I am”.
You are probably wondering what that has to do with weight management.
Good question.
Well, it seems to be a matter of focus. We attract what we focus on. Some call it focus, some call it the law of attraction, some call it the law of cause and effect, others call it positive thinking.
If you concentrate on being overweight, you will stay overweight. If you concentrate on having a slim and divinely shaped body, you will get such a body if you take the needed actions to become slim and fit.
At first I was very skeptical about the law of attraction.
I tried to diet, to exercise but still could not reach my ideal weight. I changed my nutrition to healthier foods, I made progress but it was still a struggle to maintain this ideal weight.
I had to change something to get better results.
I had to believe in myself.
I had to believe I could trim this extra weight and get permanent results.
Are you getting the results you desire or are you still struggling with your weight?
Are you going to gain weight if you start thinking positively?
Why not give it a try? It could work for you as well.
To your health and your ideal weight
