Think in your mind that you're already slim. I know that this feels unusual, but if you wish to lose weight it helps to convince yourself that it's possible. If your brain rebels and tries to tell you something different merely replace the thought with the idea you're thin and healthy and don’t fret about it. It will take a bit of time to train your subconscious how to be slender. Spend a few minutes simply “knowing” that you're slim and trim. You don’t even have to picture it. As a matter of fact, to your deeper self it's more helpful if you don’t picture it.
Now imagine your day. “See” yourself consuming a healthy breakfast. Do what you need to till lunch. Think about all this time passing without a great deal of hunger. Envisage enjoying a lunch of healthy foods that you organized in the morning.
- 9 -
Know that errors will occur and you'll let them go. See yourself doing some exercise and truly enjoying it, is it hard? Certainly, but nothing you can’t handle! Run through dinner in this way as well.
Notice that you're not craving sweets in particular; hunger isn't an issue for you either. Perhaps you'll have a small snack before bed?
That's up to you.
The crucial thing here is to utilize conceptual thought as much as conceivable. If you haven’t gotten the trick of thinking in ideas as yet, simply do your best.
Water will help your body to do away with toxins, germs and things that your body doesn't need.
Water is the sole fluid that will truly flush your system out. It's extremely suggested that you drink adequate water every day.
Remember next time you have to buy something to drink, get a bottle of water. You'll save cash and your health will benefit without the sugar and additional ingredients in a soda pop.
Protect yourself from harm.
Do you like to ride a bicycle? Put on a helmet. Don’t say ah that’s not for me. Youngsters and grownups are hurt everyday with bicycle accidents. Protect your head, and your brain.

Housecleaning, gardening, and so on are all activities that will help you burn calories. Most individuals will postpone today what they may have done yesterday. Try to prevent procrastinating. It takes only a couple of minutes to clean a small house, and once you finish you'll reap the rewards.
Alter your mentality. Throw out your "goal weight." Rather than centering on the amount of weight you wish to lose, take that same energy and direct it toward having a healthier life. Center on how good you look on the "inside" rather than how good you look on the outside. Long-lived weight loss comes about when your internal organs are clean, functioning properly, and are well taken care of.
Make certain you "look good" on the inside.
- 32 -
Eat as "organically" as imaginable. A lot of the foods consumed these days are the precise reasons why most weight loss prayers go unrequited. Conventional foods are full of pesticides, chemicals, and hormones that go directly into our system. Think about it, if the beef you eat is cut from a cow that has been shot with hormones in order to make it grow faster and larger, it's inevitable that those hormones will have the same impact on you.
Add a fruit or veggie to each meal. Even if you're eating something truly unhealthy adding fruits and vegetables will help fill you up quicker and give you healthy nutrients that you don't commonly get.
This helps your body "look great" inside and out.
Begin eating at home more. It takes at least thirty-five minutes to drive, order, pick-up and take home food from restaurants. So why not take those thirty-five minutes to fix the same meal at home? It’s healthier as you control the ingredients and portion sizes and you're less prone to germs and other disgusting things that weirdo's do to people's food in public places.
Get physical each day for at least half-hour - 2 of those days ought to be low impact. It's simple. Walk to the grocery store rather than driving. Go outside to play with your kids for half-hour or go out dancing. Look at exercise as a part of life, not chore. It's merely the art of moving your body! Make it a way of life. Find a physical exercise plan that works for you and stick to it.
- 33 -
Eat when you're hungry. Not doing so will only make you pig out in the long run. Just make sure that when you eat you manage your portion sizes and "treat" yourself to something tasty every once in a while so you don't feel punished or deprived.
If you're not hungry do not eat! I know that sounds like horse sense, but you won't believe how much we do it. It's simple for us to "snack"
even when we're not hungry. This action is pure sabotage to your weight loss goals. Avoid it at all costs.
Maintain a positive mentality about your current body. Stop yourself every time you think or say something negative about your weight, eating habits, and body. If you happen to trip up, counteract that negative thought or statement with a positive one (out loud). We have to love our current body in order to reach our goals.
- 34 -
Instincts were presented to you at birth. Those instincts may guide you better than anything in the world. Think about this: Through the years individuals have told you that if you adhere to a specific diet program you are able to slim down. The truth is no diet plan in the world will work for most individuals, as they live to be somebody they're not.
Instincts may guide you to greater health, yet most individuals will brush aside natural instincts. For example, something told you not to go to the bar last night. Yet, you might go anyhow and wonder why you don't feel well the following day.
If you leave nature to take its course, you'll notice the correct path to follow. You have to build wisdom to take you where you wish to go.
Wisdom is perceptions and intelligence. When you utilize wisdom to arrive at decisions you utilize good judgment, while forming incisive thoughts that help you to see clearly. Wisdom furthers common sense. You attain wisdom by knowledge, understanding, insight, and so forth. So get started today.
One final point…
Regardless what you've gone through thus far in your quest to slim down, believe right now that this is true.
- 35 -
The secret is to kick your cravings by keeping your body fulfilled. The best way to do this is to front load your calories by consuming a healthy and hearty breakfast that's packed with protein.
