If you’re ready to begin your weight loss journey, and you are S-E-R-I-O-U-S about getting the results you want, you have to prepare your mind just as much as your body….
There’s a reason why only 20% of people achieve their weight loss goals!
Losing weight itself isn’t rocket science, anyone can do it! But only 20% of us reach our dream physique, because staying on the path for the long haul is easier said than done. That’s where Affirmations for Weight Loss come in!
Positive affirmations, and weight loss affirmations specifically, program your mind for success. Affirmations help you cultivate the mindset that’s required of you to successfully travel from point A to point B – and this blog will show you exactly how it’s done!
First thing’s first. What are Positive Affirmations?
Simply put, an affirmation is a thought that you consciously *choose* to think (you read them, write them, listen to them on audio, or say them aloud).
The quality of your thoughts is important, because thoughts are what create the results in your life. It goes like this:
- THOUGHTS that are repeated lead to FEELINGS. All feelings can be traced back to an initial thought!
- FEELINGS largely determines our DECISIONS. Most choices are emotional, not logical! Examples: binge eating when upset. Not working out because you had a hard day and aren’t feeling up to it.
- DECISIONS that are repeated become HABITS.
- HABITS over time create the RESULTS in our life.
See how it works? It’s pretty simple! Negative thoughts, when repeated over time, lead to a poor mindset, poor feelings, and manifest poor results (this is true for any area in life!). Positive thoughts, when repeated over time, lead to a positive mindset, positive feelings, and manifest positive results.
You aren’t going to have positive results or a positive life with a negative mindset.
– Ashley Diana
You aren’t going to experience success if you constantly have insecure, self-defeating thoughts swirling around your mind.
Every thought needs to be in alignment with the results you want to see in your life, period!
If WEIGHT LOSS is the result you want, you need to make your mind your ally. You need to repeat thoughts that will work FOR YOU instead of AGAINST you. You need to cultivate a mindset that will help propel you forward, not hinder your progress.
TOP 5 Reasons People Fail at Weight Loss, according to MindBodyGreen Health
- Eating emotionally – when food is used as a coping mechanism during times of stress and sadness. Thoughts and emotions that turn to compulsive eating.
- Hating yourself and self-loathing- harboring subconscious thoughts or assumptions about yourself, that you are not worthy of love and good things,
- Failing to nourish your body- opting for unsustainable starvation diets, which usually goes hand in hand with self loathing.
- Searching endlessly for quick fixes- starting strong, but not sticking with a program. Failing to live a healthy lifestyle after you’ve achieved your weight loss goals.
- Setting unrealistic goals- expecting too much too fast, getting overwhelmed by the journey and impatient in the process.
These are things that a positive mindset, positive self-talk, and positive feelings / emotions can either help prevent or overcome! Affirmations to lose weight are designed to create an ideal inner environment that will prepare, embolden, and support you along your weight loss journey. They will help you combat stubborn inner resistance, self-sabotage, and prime your mind to make good choices, good habits, and GREAT, long lasting results.
Repeat these daily, ideally EACH MORNING, for optimal results!
