- Self Talk ~ Depak Chopra states that where a thought goes a molecule flows. When you state loving thoughts about yourself you change your biochemistry and make weight loss easier.
- Start with this Statement: " I love and appreciate myself." Personalize this by stating, "I ________ love and appreciate myself.
- Tap on Acupressure Points ~ Energy psychology professionals such as Gary Craig and Donna Eden look at the mind/body connection. Tap on the side of your hand that would make a karate chop on a block of wood while stating your affirmation.
- Eat Mindfully ~ Before you eat, ask yourself how hungry your are. If you are hungry eat what you want. If not, ask yourself what you need to feel satisfied. Check in every few minutes and ask if you are satisfied and pleasantly full. Stop when you reach this point
- Every Evening ~ Before you drift off to sleep envision yourself at your ideal weight. See yourself as slim, attractive, energetic and youthful. Give thanks for your healthy working body.
- Every Morning ~ Upon wakening set a positive expectation and say, "Something wonderful is going to happen to me today!"
- When You Bathe ~ When you bath, touch your body and feel loving, peaceful thoughts about the wonder of God's creation, the millions of cells doing jobs that the heart, lungs, brain, immune system, etc. are doing without you having to think about it.
- Dress Beautifully for the Body You Have ~ Pay attention to your clothing, hairstyle, makeup, grooming. Dress well no matter your size. Care now and each step is easier.
- Think Sexy Now ~ Helen Gurley Brown, former editor of Cosmopolitan Magazine once said that women who are sexy are those who believe they are sexy. She said that men find insecure pretty women NOT really sexy. Yet, women who believe they are sexy, even with some extra pounds or curves are MUCH sexier.
- Attitude ~ Keep an approachable, happy attitude. You will feel better and find the food and exercise portion of your weight loss much easier and more satisfying.
