Accepting Yourself, Accepting Weight loss


Last week a reader was mentioning she had a substantial amount of weight to lose and felt rather hopeless around it and wanted some ideas on loving and accepting herself.
Start with this. Every single time you hear yourself say something negative (it may be more in your subconscious mind but it’s there if you listen for it) stop, and then reframe it with a positive spin. For example, you might think something like "I’ll never look good in that," but you could say, “I’m in the process of looking better.”
Think of it this way, do you ever make some one else feel better about pointing out all her mistakes or flaws? Well it works with you in the same way. The first step is catching yourself actually thinking negative statements and then changing those thoughts to something with a more positive spin. I would suggest examining the law of attraction, particularly a book called The Law of Attraction, by Michael Losier. It’s an easy read and gives you some great insights on how to attract what you really want in life. He offers a much more effective way of doing affirmation work which actually works when practiced consistently. And, affirmations DO work, positive or negative. Hope this helps!
