Look Good and Then Lose Weight

June 28, 2008 · Filed Under Diet Tips, Mind & Body

You have been thinking about starting a diet for weeks now. You have considered the Atkins diet, Weight Watchers, a no-carb diet and never decided which one is the right one for you.

Then one day you see your reflection in the mirror and terrified by what you see you make your mind up to start the diet tomorrow.

You are convinced that you need to look bad in order to stay on a diet. Well, did looking bad help you before or for that matter diet and lose weight?

Probably not, otherwise you would have lost those extra pounds by now.

The point is that looking bad and wearing clothes that make you look worse is what is driving you to eat.

You ask how does that happen? Well, it is Subconscious Negative Reinforcement.

People on a diet are all too familiar with the sentence: First I will lose a few pounds and then I will buy myself some new clothes.

But how does that work for us if we have been overweight for years?

The point is that when our closet is filled with clothes that look like rags we wear them and we look bad. That makes us feel insecure about ourselves and we compensate ourselves with food.

Your subconscious is exposed and moreover vulnerable to your appearance and self-image reinforcing the reality of the way you look.

To start looking better and lose weight we need to modify the subconscious image, your self-image, perceived in the mirror.

To do that:

Go through your closet and take out all the clothes that look bad on you and put them away. You don’t want to give yourself any opportunity to look bad.

Make a decision to look better all day. In the morning make a little effort and put on some make-up, lipstick, do your hair. It only takes a short time and the effect is amazing and worth it

You will immediately start looking good and attracting into your life more of the same, in addition to having pleasant feelings.

You deserve to feel good about the way you look right now. There is no need to delay. This is the key to looking better in the future and of course to lose weight and be triumphant.
