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.

The Importance of the Mind For Weight Loss

We at Mind Body Weight Loss love how the power of the mind helps people lose weight and this quote helps explain why:

"The body achieves what the mind believes"

The basic say to me that everything comes from a thought, before we do anything and I mean anything it is processed in the brain, either consciously or unconsciously but it is processed in the mind first. So if we control our thoughts to be those that will help us lose weight our words, behaviour and actions will then follow on from these thoughts and create our desired outcomes. This is why the mind is so powerful and why Jose Silva believed that for any meaningful change to occur we need desire, belief and an expectance that it will happen.

We, at Mind Body Weight Loss, are here to help you achieve the correct mindset for you to achieve your weight loss goals. We do this with regular posts with tips, advice and motivation. We also have 3 really helpful FREE ebooks cram packed with information, and on top of this to help you achieve the strongest beliefs to aid your weight loss we have regular eNewsletter updates for you.

So let get the weight loss mind activated and get start losing weight!

Attitude is Everything

Today I would like to share a story I found. At the end, or even as you read, you will see how this can apply to weight loss and help you.

ATTITUDE IS EVERYTHING
By Francie Baltazar-Schwartz

---

Jerry was the kind of guy you love to hate

He was always in a good mood and always had something positive to say

When someone would ask him how he was doing, he would reply, "If I were any better, I would be twins!"

He was a unique manager because he had several waiters who had followed him around from restaurant to restaurant

The reason the waiters followed Jerry was because of his attitude. He was a natural motivator. If an employee was having a bad day, Jerry was there telling the employee to look on the positive side of the situation

Seeing this style really made me curious, so one day I went up to Jerry and asked him, "I don't get it! You can't be a positive person all of the time How do you do it?"

Jerry replied, "Each morning I wake up and say to myself, Jerry, you have two choices today. You can choose to be in a good mood or you can choose to be in a bad mood.' I choose to be in a good mood. Each time something bad happens, I can choose to be a victim or I can choose to learn from it

I choose to learn from it. Every time someone comes to me complaining, I can choose to accept their complaining or I can point out the positive side of life. I choose the positive side of life."

"Yeah, right, it's not that easy," I protested. "Yes it is," Jerry said

"Life is all about choices. When you cut away all the junk, every situation is a choice. You choose how you react to situations. You choose how people will affect your mood. You choose to be in a good mood or bad mood. The bottom line: It's your choice how you live life." I reflected on what Jerry said

Soon thereafter, I left the restaurant industry to start my own business

We lost touch, but often thought about him when I made a choice about life instead of reacting to it. Several years later, I heard that Jerry did something you are never supposed to do in a restaurant business: he left the back door open one morning and was held up at gunpoint by three armed robbers. While trying to open the safe, his hand, shaking from nervousness, slipped off the combination. The robbers panicked and shot him

Luckily, Jerry was found relatively quickly and rushed to the local trauma center. After 18 hours of surgery and weeks of intensive care, Jerry was released from the hospital with fragments of the bullets still in his body

I saw Jerry about six months after the accident. When I asked him how he was, he replied, "If I were any better, I'd be twins. Wanna see my scars?" I declined to see his wounds, but did ask him what had gone through his mind as the robbery took place

"The first thing that went through my mind was that I should have locked the back door," Jerry replied. "Then, as I lay on the floor, I remembered that I had two choices: I could choose to live, or I could choose to die

I chose to live

"Weren't you scared? Did you lose consciousness?" I asked. Jerry continued, "The paramedics were great. They kept telling me I was going to be fine. But when they wheeled me into the emergency room and I saw the expressions on the faces of the doctors and nurses, I got really scared. In their eyes, I read, 'He's a dead man. " I knew I needed to take action."

"What did you do?" I asked. "Well, there was a big, burly nurse shouting questions at me," said Jerry.

"She asked if I was allergic to anything

'Yes,' Ireplied. The doctors and nurses stopped working as they waited for my reply... I took a deep breath and yelled, 'Bullets!'

Over their laughter, I told them, 'I am choosing to live. Operate on me as if I am alive, not dead."
Jerry lived thanks to the skill of his doctors, but also because of his amazing attitude. I learned from him that every day we have the choice to live fully. Attitude, after all, is everything .

You have 2 choices now:
1. Do nothing and continue as you are
2. Change your attitude to weight loss
Hope you will choose choice 2

If you chose number two perhaps these product could help you get started:

• Weight Loss Attitude
• John GabrielThe Gabriel Method
  
• The Fat Loss Code
• The Silva Weight Loss System

I hope you found this story as helpful and inspiring as I did.

Trusting your Body

 
Trust is one of the most importance things in life along with acceptance. Acceptance gives you the base from where to start and trust enables you to develop the most healthy belief to achieve the weight loss goals.

We need to believe that it’s even possible. We need to know that our body is not at war with us, that it’s not fighting our weight loss efforts. The body is always doing the best it can to make us feel healthy and safe. When we can trust our body, listen to it, and respect its innate wisdom, we relax on a deep level. From that place, natural weight loss is possible. Some of the best things in life happen to us because we trusted.
Source - Psychology of Eating

The premise of working with our body instead of fighting it is a great point because by trusting it to do what we want is a great way to develop the belief and you know what, the body generally follows its beliefs. Just think of the Placebo effect where someone takes a sugar pill with no medical value yet it cures their ailiment. They are trusting the tablet to cure them, so trust in your body to lose weight and it will in harmony with your thought.

To end I would like share one my favourite Louise L Hay affirmations.

"I trust in the process of life to bring me my highest good."

If you have to trust in something trust in the best for yourself be that your highest good or that your body will do as you required to keep you at your healthiest.

Heal Your Fat With Your Thoughts

We have mentioned Louise L, Hay a few times before on this blog because she is an amazing person and has a vast amount of experience in helping people not only love themselves but to heal their body and life too. Recently I was reading 'Heal Your Body' to help heal a sore throat (Yes it did help and I happy to say now better.) I came across a really interesting section in the book which shared Louise L. Hays thoughts on why we may be fat on certain parts of our body. She then lists the 'Probable Causes' and suggests a new 'Thought Pattern' to overcome the probable causes. My suggestion to you is NOT to buy the 'Heal Your Body' book, but to instead purchase the 'You Can Heal Your Life' book because it includes the Heal Your Body book as its final chapter and the rest of the book is amazing at helping you learn to love yourself and life in general.

So back to what Louise L. Hays suggest the 'Probable Causes' and 'New Thought Patterns' are to help overcome Weight Loss. The suggestion is that you repeat to yourself over and over the new thought pattern and it will help you achieve your goal and overcome your problem.

---

Problem: Overweight:

Probable Cause: Fear, need for protection, Running away from feelings, Insecurity, Self Rejection, Seeking Fulfillment.

New Thought Pattern: I am at peace with my own feeling. I am safe where I am. I create my own security. I love and approve of myself.

---

Problem: Fat

Probable Cause: Oversensitivity. Often represents fear and shows a need for protection. Fear may be a cover for hidden anger and a resistance to forgive.

New Thought Pattern: I am protected by Divine Love. I am always safe and secure. I am willing to grow up and take responsibility for my life. I forgive others and I now create my own life. I forgive others and I now create my own life the way I want it. I am safe.

---

Problem: Belly Fat

Probable Cause: Anger at being denied nourishment.

New Thought Pattern: I nourish myself with spiritual food and I am satisfied and free.

---

Louise L. Hay also goes on to explain the 'Probable Causes' and 'New Thought Patterns' for Arm Fat, Hip Fat, Thigh Fat as well as many other forms of illnesses and ailments, Louise herself hails this method as a successful part of her strategy to overcome Cancer.

Now I know this method may not be for everybody and it may bring up alot of strong feelings against it and that is fine. If so this method may not be for you. However if like me, you believe there is something in this strategy then give it ago. What have you got to lose? Nothing except the fat and weight you want to lose already.
