You are not fat
Such a great perspective to have and I love this statement made on tumblr it really made me think.
Some of use have longer fingernails or more hair than others but we do not define ourselves or get in an emotional muddle over it, if the fingernails are too long we just cut them to our desired length. If we do not like our hair we change it to a style we like. These two brilliant examples of fingernails and hair do not define us, so why should we let fat do the same. If we are happy with our weight and feel we have enough fat great, if we have too much then lets remove in with a similar mindset to how we change the length of our nail and hair. No real emotional attachment, just do what is best for you.
You are amazing please do not define yourself by something you have too much or too little off, define yourself by your soul and your life purpose.
Best wishes

You are a soul. You are a mind.This is really quite profound and is a very clever statement because it enables us to think of our weight loss in a new way.
You are not fat. You have fat.
You also have fingernails, but you aren't fingernails, are you?
You have hair, but you aren't hair, are you?
You have fat, but you are not fat.
You are beautiful.

You Can Lose Weight, I Promise
This is such a great quote because you are so much better than you believe. When you look back at your life you may see some amazing events that you have came through or amazing things you have done, if not now is the time to start. You will find out that if others can lose weight then you can too. This is the premise of NLP, in that if one person can achieve weight loss then you can follow the same model they did and lose weight too.
You may want to try this successful model:
The Gabriel Method, Jon Gabriel lost 220lbs and share exactly how he did it. There are testimonial of other who follow the same model and lost lots of weight too.
So remember:
YOU CAN.
Keep your head up
You are much better than you believe
You can do this.
I PROMISE.

Eat Slowly
There really is something worth investigating about eating slowly, the naturally lightest person I know is also the slowest eater I know, he chews his food, putting his cutlery down to give him to time to savor the food.
The theory behind eating slow is that it gives the body time to deliver messages to the brain to state that you are full, it also gives you change to fully be aware of the food you are eating. You can then decide if it appropriate for you. Sometimes we eat food so quickly that we do not give ourselves time to realise if this is the correct food at the correct time for us.
If you would like to try this method why not use the suggested technique of chewing your food 20 times between each mouthful.
Please comment below or email us to let us know how you get on because along with eating consciously this method makes a huge difference to your weight loss.
Kind regards

Stop Trying To Lose Weight
I know this sounds very odd advice coming from a motivational weight loss blog like Mind Body Weight Loss, but it is true in so many ways.
The first and most important part of 'trying' is that to the subconscious mind and with in hypnotherapy 'trying' presupposes failure. This is because it gives you the option to fail, you are not pledging to do it, you are just saying you are going to attempt it and the easiest way out of an attempt is to fail or quit.
So if we should not try to lose weight, what is the other option? Well I think Yoda from Star Wars put it best - "Do or Do Not. There is no try".
Can you see the difference in 'trying' to lose weight you leave yourself the easier option of failure, but by choosing to do weight loss or choosing not to do weight loss you are choosing one of the absolute options and are therefore much more like to achieve your weight loss goals.
So if you want to 'do' weight loss why not read our blog or website, sign up to our eNewsletter and checkout some of the fantastic products Mind Body Weight Loss believe can help you.

Walk, Cycle or Drive?
This nice little image sets the scene for a question to ask yourself before you go anywhere. And that question is 'Shall I Walk, Cycle or Drive to my destination?"
Walking and Cycling are the ones which run on your fat and saves you money.To me this bit of information is a game changer in relation to changing our behaviour to aid weight loss.
Where as Driving runs on money and makes you fat.
I hope, like me, you can see how this question can effect your weight loss.

You Are in Control
How empowering! It means that like others before you who have achieved the goals that you want you to can achieve them, if you decide too.
It is said by the Silva Method that once you decide to be who you want to be you need 3 things to make it happen:
Expectancy means expect the results to happen, and why shouldn't you because you know it will happen for you too.
Some People you may like to 'Model' your weight loss on could be:

It is said by the Silva Method that once you decide to be who you want to be you need 3 things to make it happen:
- Desire
- Belief
- Expectancy
A man approaches a Zen Master and asks to be shown the path to enlightenment. The Master replies, “Okay, follow me,” stands up, and walks the man to a nearby river and into the water. Without warning, the Master forces the man’s head under the water and holds it there as he struggles violently for his life, until he is nearly dead. At last the Master pulls the man up, gasping for air, and says, “When you want to be enlightened as badly as you wanted to take your next breath just now, come back and see me.Belief, like I said earlier, if some else can do it, then there is no reason you can not achieve it too. NLP is a great believer in this by suggesting 'Modelling'. This means that following the same procedure and actions as the person who lost the weight and achieved the goal like yours. This is a great way to develop the belief because you have seen it work for somebody else.
Expectancy means expect the results to happen, and why shouldn't you because you know it will happen for you too.

Visualization for Weight Loss
Visualization for Weight Loss is amazing! Once you set your target weight, visualize what you will look and feel like. Studies have proven the brain can not tell the difference between what is real and visualized because it uses the same part of the brain for both!
There are a few studies you can check out which back this up, the first is called the 'The Little Finger Strength Test", another is the 'Basket Ball Test' and the final one I can think of right now is the 'Piano Practice Test' The very interesting think about this is that each time a similar test is run they proof the same thing. The mind can not distinguish between what is real and imagined. Empowering isn't it!
As Can Do Craig once said "Olympic Athletes use visualization to improve their performance. You could use it to Improve Your Weight Loss Performance." This is supported by what Dennis Waitley has said about goals:
So what can you do to help you define your goals.
I hope this helps you on your journey, one visualization I created (see below) a little while ago is called the 'Control Panel' you may find it good place to get you started.
Kind regards

"The reason most people never reach their goals is that they don't define them, or ever seriously consider them as believable or achievable. Winners can tell you where they are going, what they plan to do along the way, and who will be sharing the adventure with them."
So what can you do to help you define your goals.
- Be clear on what you want
- Believe you can achieve your goal
- Picture your self achieving it over and over.
- Create an affirmations to re-enforce your goal and belief
- Do something towards your goal each day
I hope this helps you on your journey, one visualization I created (see below) a little while ago is called the 'Control Panel' you may find it good place to get you started.

Mother of all Motivations
I just had to share this motivational quote I found on Tumblr it really made me think about what I want to achieve and has helped me focus my mind and body on achieving it.
Now I know there is an element of guilt built in to the quote but as we know there is nothing we can do about the past but what we can do is right now pledge to make our body and indeed our life the best it can be.
"Your mother didn't spend 9 months forming you body in her just so you could destroy it. Love it and make it the best you can."

Meal Sizes and Portion Control
I found this quote which really made me think as it fits in nicely with what I read about Buddhist weight loss.
"Eat Breakfast like a king, Lunch like a prince and Dinner like a Pauper"
Source - Work Out Box
The reason behind this is best illustrated in the picture above. but also a quote from a post entitled 'The Five Contemplations While Eating' suggests why it is better to eat more in the morning according to Buddhist monks:
"I have read an interesting way Buddhist Monks eat only in the morning and why. The theory goes something like this; In the morning one hour before and one hour after sunrise the large intestine are at the most productive. The technique the monks use is to not eat until there is enough sunlight for them to see the lines on the palms of their hands. They will eat as much as they like at this point up until the sun is at its highest point (midday). The rest of the day the can drink as much water as they wish. They say that water is a great way to plug the hunger should they have any, however if they are hungry at any point through out that day, the next morning they will have more appreciation for the food and the people who supplied it."

We would love to hear from you if this method of eating alot for breakfast, alittle less for lunch and a small dinner is something you have tried yourself and if so what results you got.

The Power Is Now
I hope you find this image as motivational as I did when I first saw it. For me it says The Power Is Now. You can only action change from this moment, not from the past and not from the future.
So why not do a meditation where you imagine yourself in a years time looking back to you at this moment in time. What would the you in a years time tell you to do right now?
It is a different way to think but can really help you get fantatstic weight loss results.

Zen Weight Loss Tips - Part 4
Hello welcome to our final part of Zen Weight Loss Tips.
Create a routine for what you eat – for a month, do not think of food as something to be enjoyed, think of it as fuel.

Take the stairs. Walk or bike ride that short distance instead of driving.
Such good advice look in to way we can do more day to day natural movement.
Everything in moderation. If you really want French fries and a hamburger, or ice cream, or a cookie it’s OK to indulge a little occasionally. Key word is occasionally. Better to indulge a little, than to binge later.
