There's no doubt about it; losing weight is hard! It is especially hard when you are besieged by negative thoughts. Why? Because of a phenomenon called the "law of attraction". The law of attraction returns to you the essence of your thoughts. Focusing on your body in a negative way means attracting more negative qualities to dislike about your body. To make weight loss easier, it is vital to release negative thoughts and replace them with positive thoughts.
Remember that every negative thought you think is directly contradicting the positive focus you are trying to build about your body. Even if you visualize having a strong, healthy body for an hour a day, if you spend the rest of your time focused on how much you hate your fat, how sick and tired you are of being overweight, and so on, you create an energetic blockage.
You are in effect sending out two kinds of intentions at the same time: one tells the universe that you want to have a thin, beautiful body; at the same time, your other intention is to see yourself as being fat, uncomfortable and self-conscious about your body. Unfortunately, if the negative image is older, it is probably stronger, so it will manifest instead of the newer, more positive image.
There is a simple solution to this problem: stop allowing negative thoughts to take over your mind! That may not be easy at first, but if you simply start developing a stronger awareness so you can recognize the negative thoughts when they pop up, you will steadily find it easier to replace them with more positive thoughts.
Here's an example so you can see how it looks in action: Let's say that you are going along on a normal day, and you catch an unexpected glimpse of yourself in a window or mirror. Right away you feel shocked and saddened that you are still overweight, and negative thoughts start crashing through your mind: "Is that me? Man, I thought I was making better progress than that - I can't believe I still have so far to go! Maybe I should just give up; it sure seems like I'm destined to stay this way. I'm doomed to be fat; great."
These thoughts directly oppose the positive outlook you want to have about your body, so it's important to rewrite them whenever they come up. By consistently rewriting them, you will eventually create a new outer reality.
"I shouldn't be so hard on myself. Yes, I'm still overweight, but I'm doing really well on my healthier eating plan, and I am definitely feeling better. I'm learning how to treat my body with love, and I know that is going to pay off soon. One of these days I'm going to see my reflection and smile because I'm so proud of myself. Until then I'm just going to be patient and concentrate on loving my body exactly as it is."
Keep going like this, thinking as many positive thoughts about your body as you can. The more you do so, the more dramatically you are going to alter the messages you convey to the universe, and the more quickly you will see the results in your body.
Keep in mind that you won't change everything just by doing the exercise once or twice. It takes time to see lasting results, and you may have to be very persistent for several weeks as you patiently keep rewriting your negative thought habits. Whatever you do, don't get frustrated - just keep working at it little by little, knowing that once these positive thoughts take root in your mind it will be much easier to stay focused on them permanently.
