3rd post of series- Believing

If you want to lose weight, you have to believe. You have to believe in yourself, believe that it will happen and that you can make it happen. Imagine as if you’ve already lost the weight and feel how it feels to be light again. Imagine the feeling of success in your head. The Secret explains this principle well. “To lose weight, don’t focus on ‘losing weight’. Instead, focus on your perfect weight. Feel the feelings of your perfect weight, and you will summon it to you.” If you are already feeling what it feels like to have lost the weight, you will no longer desire to engage as often in those activities that may have lead you to putting on the weight. You will be free of this, for you will already be feeling what it feels to live at your desired weight.

“The condition of being overweight was created through your though to it. To put it in the most basic terms, if someone is overweight, it came from thinking ‘fat thoughts,’ whether the person was aware of it or not. A person cannot think ‘thin thoughts’ and be fat.” If you are thinking “thin thoughts” you will be in the mentality of a thin person. You will subconsciously engage in activities that go along with a thin body.

You must also be confident with your present self. Although you may desire a change, you will never get anywhere if you can’t be happy with the present. “You must feel good about you. This is important because you can’t attract your perfect weight if you feel bad about your body now. If you feel bad about your body, that is a powerful feeling, and you will continue to attract feeling bad about your body. You will never change your body if you are critical and find fault with it, and in fact you will attract more weight to you.”

Believe in yourself, but also be happy with yourself in the present. Be happy with each stage of the process of transforming your body into its ideal.
