“Change the self-image first, and the proper means to reach and maintain the new body will follow! … I have never found anything more solid, secure, or permanent. Change your self-image and change your life!”
Debbie Johnson, author of “Think Yourself Thin”
When you change the way you see your body and the way feel about yourself, you take the first step toward a lasting experience of your personal best body weight!
Dr. Oz has had several shows featuring hypnosis for weight loss. On a recent show which you can view on his website, Paul McKenna demonstrated the instant benefits of accepting your body as it is. He had a woman from the audience come to the stage and stand in front of a full length mirror. She was squirming with discomfort as she looked at herself. He asked her which parts of her body she is not satisfied with and she told him!
He then told her to look at each of those parts of her body and say, “I accept my stomach, I accept my thighs, I accept my arms, etc.” The result was an instant relaxing of her face and body that was noticeable to the audience. After she “accepted all her parts” she commented that she no longer feels tense and dissatisfied. She could see the extra fat as a temporary problem that she has the power to change.
Paul McKenna commented about how this simple exercise can help you feel better right away, enabling you to take the excess weight off faster. Repeat: When You Feel Good About Yourself You Can Shed The Fat Faster – And Easier!
Here are some of the benefits of accepting your body as it is, due to the release of tension created by self-criticism:
• Your metabolism works better
• Your digestion and elimination is better
• You have more physical energy
• You are more motivated to exercise
• You feel lighter and happier
• You make healthier food choices
• You can see the weight as a temporary condition
• You can be your best friend instead of your worst enemy
• You feel more like socializing
• You will be pleasant to be around
• You build trust in yourself to do what is good for YOU!
The worse you feel about the way you look and feel – the longer the problem will last. THIS CONCEPT IS ALMOST TOO SIMPLE TO GRASP!
Begin Now To Feel As If You Have Already Achieved Your Goal. You remember how to pretend! Forgive yourself for all of your past indiscretions with food and lifestyle – you cannot change what you did in the past. Stop punishing yourself and start taking care of yourself because you care about yourself!
If You Don’t Care About You – Who Will?
People around you eventually begin to reflect the opinion you have of yourself. You will convince them over time that you really are fat or defective in some way. Then when they begin to see you the way you have convinced them to see you, you will accuse them of being mean!
Who Started The Meanness Anyway? My observation is that the reason most people engage in self-defeating habits is to soothe themselves – because of their own meanness.
It May Be Time To Look In The Mirror And Forgive Yourself! Stop expecting others to make you feel better about yourself. Decide to BECOME YOUR OWN BEST FRIEND NOW!
Stop trying to force yourself to follow your ever changing set of rules and just get into a state of love and have gratitude for your body as it is.
Keep your thoughts and feelings focused on Your Best Body to Live Your Best Life.
It makes sense doesn’t it? You Can Do It!
