**Everyone would like to lose weight just by thinking about it. If you have tried every healthy diet on the planet and even the latest fitness guru’s exercise program without achieving your goal of losing weight, you probably need to review not what you eat and do in your body from the neck down, but from the neck up. ** It is worth making clear that successful weight loss does not happen on its own or overnight. In the same way that it did not take him a day to reach the overweight he has. Keep this in mind and give yourself time to see measurable results. Start a conversation with yourself, and get used to this conversation so that your brain runs it continuously. What type of conversation do you have? What type of negative self-talk has kept you from achieving your weight loss goals in the past? The good news is that you can change the course of those things that have not worked. It’s a matter of deciding. It’s never too late to start reprogramming your motivation to start a new weight loss program. A good starting point is to start with positive affirmations, which when spoken out loud with authority and conviction will positively influence your attitude, focus your thinking and lead to a course of action that will help you become the person you want to be and have the things you want to have. Write your weight loss affirmations and resolutions on paper. It could be something like: “I want to lose 10 kilos before Christmas.” That is a worthy and attainable goal. But we have to attend to the structure of the sentence. First of all, “I want” gives the impression that what is desired is always in the future. In order to reprogram your inner motivation you have to trick your mind into believing that you have already achieved the success you seek. This is how your subconscious mind works, as it does not have the ability to understand the concept of time. Everything is in this moment, here and now. When you tell your subconscious mind that you “want,” that is exactly what you will get. Unless you change your mental recorder, you will achieve exactly what you are telling your subconscious. “I want to lose 10 kilos.” and you will stay at that “want” for the rest of your days unless you think about it differently. If your weight is 80 kilos and you want to reach 70, it is not very difficult to say to yourself daily: “I am healthy and fit, I weigh 70 kilos.” It is very important that your statement is clear. What is stated is exactly what your subconscious mind will bring to you. Don’t limit yourself to just one statement. Write all the necessary ones that help you in your purpose. For example: “I enjoy my new healthy diet plan” or “I love the exercise routine I do.” Write and rewrite until you are absolutely sure that you have written your weight loss goals in the “here and now.” Representing exactly what you want. Only then start saying them out loud and several times a day. Remember to use the present tense. “I recognize achievements in all my weight loss goals”, “I have the ability and talent to exercise every day”, “I am a winner”. At first you will feel awkward and uncomfortable and may not feel or believe what you are saying. Don’t stop and keep talking to yourself loudly and with conviction. You have already spent a lot of time getting your subconscious used to speaking negatively so you have to dedicate time for re-education exercises by speaking loudly, firmly and confidently. To the point that you are surprised by the changes that are happening around you. You don’t get on a bicycle for the first time and manage to circle the street three times. It takes time to acquire the ability to balance on two wheels. This will take some practice too. Continue repeating your affirmations out loud several times a day for a month and you will discover how much it changes your thinking and attitude. The important thing is to take action: do nothing, and nothing will happen. Do one thing and many things will be set in motion.
