We’re talking about how to use your thoughts to draw what you want into your life - in this case, reaching and maintaining a healthier weight without chronic dieting. Here is some food for thought about living an active lifestyle:
Food for Thought: I am a healthy, active person.
Let go of your negative messages about exercise like, “I don’t have time,” “I’m too tired,” or “I have to follow the plan perfectly or not at all” that keep you stuck in ineffective behavior patterns. As you picture yourself as fit and energetic, you will see the stairs instead of the elevator.
Food for Thought: I live an abundant, fulfilling life.
Despite this food and diet-crazed culture, remember the real reason you eat is to fuel your life and give you the energy to do whatever you need and want to do.
The secret to weight management isn’t about finding the right diet or finding the willpower to resist eating foods you love. The secret is to recognize your old counterproductive thought patterns then change the way you think and feel about how food fits into your life and create the results you truly desire.
