Think and Grow Thin

 

“Yeah, right,” I can hear my skeptics say.  “There’s more to losing weight than just thinking about it.”  

I agree.

I also know that releasing weight in a pleasurable way has more to do with how you think about yourself than what you eat and how much exercise you get.  Releasing weight is integrally tied with how you view yourself, how deserving you feel yourself to be, and what you say to yourself every time you pass by a mirror.

Sure, you have to burn more calories than you take in.  But on another level, when you start viewing your body as beautiful, stunning, attractive, healthy, fit, and sexy, then your behavior will change as well.  

“But all I see are rolls of fat and flab,” you say.

“How can I view myself as attractive when all my big nose is too big and my hair is gray and my thighs are gargantuan?”

Again, we’re back to gratitude.  

How often do you think about being grateful for your body?

How often do you consider how those “gargantuan” thighs have helped you move from point A to point B?

How often do you consider the beauty in that gray hair and everything that that the gray represents?

How often to you acknowledge that your “big” nose gives you pleasure by letting you smell lilacs?

How often do you look at your abdomen and and consider everything it has done, and continues to do, for you?

How often do you celebrate your body?

When we change the thoughts we think about our body, our bodies respond and change as well.
