Believe What You Visulaize

Losing weight with the help of creative visualization can be termed as a "mental diet". Of course, the chances of success will be greater, if in addition to visualization you reduce the amount of food you eat, follow a diet and exercise your body.

Tips for losing weight through visualization:

# Two or three times a day, sit down for several minutes in a quiet place, and visualize your body as you wish it to be. Leave your worries, doubts and other thoughts behind, and concentrate on what you are doing.

# See yourself slim and beautiful, with your ideal weight. Forget how you look now. You are creating a new reality. See yourself at the beach or pool wearing a swimming suit. See how gorgeous you look. Imagine yourself wearing all those tight clothing that you have always wanted to wear.

# Visualize your family and friends complimenting you about how gorgeous your body looks and how slim you look now. Look at the whole scene as real, and as happening right now at the present moment, not in the future.

# You can construct in your mind any other scene you wish. You can see yourself exercising, dancing, with friends, with your husband or wife, at work, etc. See yourself moving and in action. Hear people complimenting you about your slim body, and see their admiring glances. In short, make the mental image as real as possible.

# Construct in your mind images that ignite your emotions. Make them alive and colorful. Make the scenes in your mind interesting and real, and see yourself in each scene as slim, the way you will look after you lose weight.

# Never visualize that you are disgusted with food or with eating, and do not develop a loathing for any kind of food. By visualizing your body as you wish it to look, your subconscious mind will direct you to eat the appropriate food in the right quantities.

# While visualizing, and after finsihing your visualization session, don't tell yourself: "well, it is all nonsense, I cannot lose weight". If you say these words you destroy all the work you have done. When thoughts of disbelief crawl into your mind do not listen to them. Let only thoughts of your ideal body shape enter and pass through your mind.

As in everything else in life, persistence is required.
Creative visualization can help you lose weight in a most natural way.

# It can make you desire to reduce the quantities of food that you eat.
# Your body can be taught to be staisfied with smaller quantities of food.
# Creative visualization can attract to you the diet that suits you most.
# It might lead you to desire to participate in some physical exercises that will reduce your weight.

The way you think affects your body. Think on what you want to achieve, not what you want to avoid. Think about how you want to look, not about being overweight. Visualize your body as you want it to look, not as it looks now. Do not concern yourself too much with what to eat or not to eat, but with how you want your body to be. Persist with your efforts, and you will start seeing results.

It is most important to believe what you visualize. Forget past failures to lose weight and reject disbelief, doubts and negative thoughts. Keep projecting your ideal figure on the screen of your mind, and your disbelief and inner resistance will begin to fade away.

Returning My Body To Its Former Thinness

Friday walked 30 mins
Made good food choices
Slept 8 hours
Drank my 8 glasses of water
Did my visualization before bed

Today is Saturday, March 21, 2009 -- a Red Letter Day

Being fat is the complete opposite of what I used to be when I was a child growing up. But then anyone who's overweight probably started out as a thin youngster. My mother always told me how skinny and what a picky eater I was. She always worried about me because I didn't eat much, and was always sickly and she thought that a daily dose of cod liver oil would fix it all. Duh! Look at me now ma! Nowadays they're pushing omega 3's and here I am not taking it cuz I had enough of that stuff in my earlier years. I don't even know if it helped at all. I am not willing to try it again.

Maybe being fat is my body's way of showing me that everything is okay now, I'm safe and the fat is protecting me -- after all my mother wanted me to believe that some padding on my body would make it all better. But I found out that isn't true. We all know that an apple shape isn't healthy. Well, after much deliberation, here's my new quest.....to find a solution to return my body to it's former thinness. Don't think about all the other quests I had, there were many. I will keep searching for a formula that gets my body to give up it's fat especially the spare tire. It's so uncomfortable. The time is NOW to reverse those thoughts and communicate to my body that it needs to be thin, it wants to be thin and eventually it will be thin. I want to cultivate positive thinking because it eliminates almost all forms of mental and emotional obesity that trick your body into thinking you need to be fat.

If I become a more positive thinker, daily stress won't affect me as much. That's a plus. If I stay positive my life will be more fun. When I'm connected to the world, my life has more purpose and meaning. I feel safe, have less fear, life becomes less threatening. I feel more in control and less likely to use fat as a shield or weapon. I'm less likely to give power to negative beliefs that hold me back. That all sounds great to me. I will keep forging ahead with thinking and being positive. I am safe, thin is safe, life is safe, I feel safe. I think of an image of what my body looks like at another time when it was thinner, I imagine that my body will become that image. Let's see how I will make it happen! Write this date down....March 21, 2009 the beginning of the new quest to return my body to its former thinness through visualization and proper eating habits.
