The Two Words That Guarantee Success (or failure) When Losing Weight
By: Mark Idzik
Did you know that being successful with losing weight starts with just two words?
Two words will either guarantee you'll lose weight, or guarantee the you WON'T lose weight.
You see, words are very powerful. Especially the words that we say to ourselves... our self-talk.
Whatever we say to ourselves goes directly to our subconscious and is accepted as complete truth.
Did you catch that?
Whatever you say to yourself or others is accepted as a complete truth to your subconscious mind.
How do you describe yourself?
Do you see yourself as healthy, slim and energetic?
Or do you see yourself as heavy and overweight?
Do you tell yourself (or complain to others) that "you can't" lose weight?
If you say to yourself....
"I am fat" ... your mind says OK, you're fat and gets to work in the background on taking actions that make (and keep) you fat.
or
"I am healthy and slim"... your mind says, OK, and gets to work in the background on taking actions that make (and keep) you healthy and slim.
[Note: You literally can't lose weight if you see yourself as overweight... your mind won't let you. This is one reason so many struggle with losing weight... and keeping it off. ]
Your subconscious doesn't argue with you, or reason with your statement. It just goes to work following your instructions.
This one, small lifestyle change can make a difference between being successful in reaching your weight los.s goals, and continual struggle to lose weight.
It's simple, just replace your current thoughts and words with ones that support your "new" you starting with those two most important words, "I am":
"I am healthy"
"I am slim"
"I am fit"
"I am healthy and trim"
"I am at my goal weight of (your goal) pounds"
Saying "I am" gives your mind a statement and command in the affirmative... as if it were already true.
Do this regularly, every day, and watch your thoughts and self talk closely. If you catch yourself slipping, immediately stop your negative thoughts and replace them with those above, or your own "I am" statements.
Before you know it, your actions and results will start taking shape (literally :) ). It's a proven fact, your mind acts on what you tell it, just tell it what you want!
You CAN do it!

Weight Loss Discipline (Excerpt)
Weight Loss and Discipline
Why is it so hard to lose weight and keep it off? We have
all heard that weight loss is just a matter of taking in
less calories than we expend. That certainly sounds very
logical, but is it really that simple?
For example, I had an intention of only eating fruits and
vegetables for a day or two, to counteract the recent
'junk'
food I had been enjoying. This was a solid plan that
practically guaranteed a decrease in caloric intake.
However, a solid plan doesn't always mean an easy
execution.
I figured I would be relatively safe making a trip to the
health food store. So my guard against high fat foods was
down. When I got to the store, my sensibilities were
assailed by a well meaning clerk hawking some freshly
made
corn beef and cabbage. I could hardly resist the
temptation. And that wasn't the end of it. Once my armour
was breached, the temptation of tasty, 'health oriented'
cookie samples fought for my attention.
