Seeing yourself thin

Tweet

In my profession, I work with weight loss a lot. I have found that most people who have trouble losing weight have something in common: They all constantly "see," visualize, or constantly talk about themselves as FAT. This is self-defeating behavior for several reasons. First, and most important, what you think about most is what you are unconsciously setting yourself up to become. Second, your mind/brain can work without your body, but your body can do nothing without your brain telling it what to do. It is like the body is a robot, and the mind is the computer that controls the robot. If you constantly think of yourself as fat, then the body does what it is told. On the other hand, when you see and think of yourself the way you want to be, 2 things happen: 1. your subconscious mind picks up these images and starts creating ways to make it happen. The imagination does not know the difference between fantasy and reality, so it takes the fantasy and starts to make it a reality. 2. your body, like the robot, also starts doing what it is told. My point is that if you think you are fat, but want to be thin, use your imagination (the bridge to the unconscious) to your advantage and see yourself the way you want to be. This will subconsciously motivate you toward your goal. Give it a try. It works. I know...I have done it myself personally (lost 80 lbs), and professionally. Remember: this is a tool. There are no magic pills, potions, exercise machines, or anything that will work...without YOU.
