Day 57 - How NOT Focusing on Weight Will Help You Shed the Pounds

Love and accept yourself and realize your dreams.
Does this sound like you?

When I lose X amount of weight I will:
  • Go out and date
  • Find my soul mate
  • Join the gym
  • Attend more social engagements
  • Travel
  • Pursue my passion
  • Start my own business
  • Feel confident
  • Reach out and make friends
  • Get my dream job
Have you acquired the belief that you are not good enough until you get to a certain number on the scale (or a certain body type)?

I have news for you. Our belief that weight loss is what will make us happy is what is perpetuating weight gain.

Everything you desire in your life is available to you now, not twenty pounds from now. 

When you pursue your dreams and get happy you will not be as likely to rely on food to feed your emptiness.

When you find the place within yourself that is full of value, regardless of how you think you look, you will not seek extraneous value from the meals and snacks in your day.

When you focus on health and happiness, weight will naturally become a non-issue.

Focus on happiness from living, breathing, moving and enjoying your body today. And then feel the results.

Day 56 - Lose Weight In Seconds

Have you ever felt weighed down by your body?

Maybe you feel bloated after eating a food that did not sit well.

Perhaps you stuffed yourself into uncomfortable fullness and you are crawling in your skin.

Most likely your issue with weight eventually turns into an inner dialogue of disapproval and even disgust towards your current state. You may feel ashamed or guilty for engaging in a diet 'indiscretion.' Your inner dialogue becomes consumed with negative and destructive self-talk.

A recently published UK study found that 97% of women say 13 negative things about their body a day (such as, "I hate my thighs" or "I'm ugly"). Are you one of them?

I am here to teach you how to lose weight in seconds.

This one technique will release your feeling of being 'fat' or 'ugly' and increase your appeal and attractiveness to others (and yourself!).

Whenever you have a negative thought about yourself, find an alternate better-feeling one. 

Imagine that you are talking to a friend or a child with a compassionate tone. Here is an example:
  • "I am fat and disgusting for eating that whole carton of Haagen Daz."
    • Alternate better-feeling thought: "I am feeling some heavy emotions from not listening to my body. I think I will take care of my body now by relaxing. I appreciate that my body gives me the opportunity to learn this lesson."
    • Alternate better-feeling thought: "Eating the whole carton of ice cream made me feel tired and bloated tonight. I would not choose to have this experience again. I am appreciative of this experience, that is teaching me how to listen to my body's wisdom."
Within seconds you can lose the weighted and heavy thoughts of your mind and move forward right away into better-feeling actions and experiences that feed a healthy and sexy body. 

To a day of losing the weight of your negative thoughts!
