How The Law Of Attraction Can Help You Lose Weight
In your subconscious thoughts every subject you focus on transforms into an image in your mind. For example, when you think of a car usually you don’t see in your minds’ eye the word C-A-R but a picture of a car you know pops into your head. Food is a perfect example of this. Whenever you think about food, your subconscious mind releases an energy frequency and, according to the Law of Attraction, you are attracted to food.
This is precisely the basis for your weakness for food after announcing you are going to start a diet. From that point on, you start to obsess about food, count calories, and let the entire world know about your diet. The only thing left for your subconscious to do is get some food!
How does it work?
The Law of Vibration
Every individual projects energy. This energy is communicated in the human body as feelings. When you experience positive emotional sensations (happiness, joy, fun, pleasure etc.), you emit positive energy. However, when you have negative feelings (remorse, anger, pain, frustration, tension, etc.), you emanate negative energy. This is why you usually can sense the energy when entering an unfamiliar place or meeting new people, whether that energy is joy, anger, boredom, etc. More often than not, you can pick up on the energy that other people emit, which is typically interpreted via body language, a certain pitch of voice, and a general sense of attraction, or lack of attraction toward them.
Your thoughts determine your feelings and your energy frequency is then attuned accordingly. In order to change a frequency that you evaluate as negative and that limits the achievement of your goals, you must change your thoughts until you experience good feelings, and your energy frequency will then be modified appropriately.
Your energy has immense power. This power comes from:
The Law of Attraction
In general, you attract people, situations, experiences, and physical conditions in accordance to the energy you project via sensations generated by your mind and body. Good feelings attract other things that feel good. For instance, try to remember when someone last gave you a compliment. Isn’t it true that the rest of day was much more positive and fun? The energy aroused by the compliment attracted additional positive events and thoughts.
For this reason, you must be exceedingly aware of your thoughts and feelings in order to attract the things you desire. What also helps is:
The Power of Focus
Anything you focus on, positive or negative, happens and/or becomes enlarged. Women who are trying to get pregnant are very sensitive to the pregnant women they see and think that everyone is pregnant except for them.
When someone plans to buy the latest model car, suddenly all they see is that every other car is the same model as the one they want. This power stems from the integration of these three laws.
First, you focus on something, then, you emit a certain energy accompanied by the mindset you have toward it, and finally the Law of Attraction introduces it into your life.
When you focus on something, you infuse it with energy and inspire emotion until it grows and becomes part of your reality–for better or for worse.
Therefore it is better that you focus on your desired END RESULT, i.e. your desired weight, pant size, and the thin feeling when achieving your goal.
This is why people who obsess on food and drink gain weight. Interestingly, it works both if we want food and if we do not want it. As an old Chinese maxim says, “What you resist persists.” This means that everything you resist, through anger and negative energy, will intensify and grow! As long as you fight your weight and appearance you will get fat!
But why?
The focus is directed at food, fat, and external appearance while the feeling attached is extremely negative, and leads to an endless revisiting of negative issues and emotions. This, of course, results in weight gain, or, if all goes well, no more than weight maintenance.
This means that if you want to lose weight you should focus on the final result you want, such as a specific weight and/or an ideal appearance. Stop focusing on food, and instead, start now to focus on your ideal self and begin broadcasting positive energy to your mirror!

The Secret to Weight Loss is Love Yourself As You Are Today
Many people ask us what the secret of losing weight and keeping it off is. The one thing we know for sure is: Love yourself exactly as you are here and now. In other words, love who you are today with your excess weight, with your lack of success, with your disappointment from being a disappointment for others.
Do it in the here and now; otherwise you will be unable to attract the self-confidence, approval, and self-love you require for the success of the process. If you possess a lack of self-worth, or feel shameful, or feel that you are a failure, these things will be central to defining your life.
When asking people what their motivation is to lose weight, we have received a variety of answers. The most prominent answer among them was to improve the way they feel about themselves. They all expressed a desire for their loved ones to also view them in this light and feel good being around them. It means that once we start to feel better about ourselves, we want to share it with others. So why not start right here and now?
If you want to feel beautiful and increase your self-image—get started. Why wait?
If your answer to the question above is, “I am overweight and frustrated and will never be able to experience positive things,” think again. It means that you believe that being overweight is the source of all your troubles. Is that really true? And is losing weight really the solution to all of your troubles? Do you really believe that all thin people love themselves and have high self-esteem? Do they alone hold the key to happiness? Of course not all of them—only those who feel good about all aspects of their life. Self love and confidence come from within and not as a result to external circumstances, such as weight. Start loving who you are right now and your weight will follow.
Do you really believe that if you were thin you would possess total happiness? If you were thin but lost all the good you have currently in your life (i.e. eyesight, family, job, etc), would you really be happy? Happiness is an emotion generated from your innermost being. You have the power to determine your identity and how you feel towards it, no matter what circumstances you face. If, like Barry Kaufman, a man whose son was diagnosed with autism, chose happiness, you can too.
Don’t ever forget how amazing and fascinating you are! There is no one in the world like you. No one can bring to the world what you can. You are one of a kind. Along with the negative characteristics you possess (or think you possess), be assured that you also have extremely positive ones. Allow them the distinguished place of honor and attention they deserve in your life and start truly loving yourself as you are now.
The day your love for yourself increases is the day you will find yourself taking giant steps toward liberating yourself from food. Not only will you be a “thinking-thin” person, but you will also turn into a much happier and content person.
Remind yourself every day that you’re amazing! Adopt these phrases as mantras and repeat them over and over again:
“I’m amazing”
“I’m wonderful.”
“I’m healthy and happy.”
During difficult times, remember to be thankful for what you have right now. Remember that the negative thoughts controlling your conscious mind aren’t really yours. These thoughts infiltrate from your surroundings and from the people who you were exposed to and who have influenced you throughout your life. Choose differently!
When you have the courage to choose to accept and see your inherent beauty, everybody else will follow.

Being Grateful Is A Catalyst For Weight Loss
Much has been said about gratitude. Many self-help books discuss this issue and its importance. Why do you suppose they all deal with gratitude? What does gratitude possess that all the self-help books suggest it?
By gratitude we mean the heightened feeling of being blessed in your life, not the automatic “thanks” you use in certain situations to be polite. It’s the same feeling that causes your heart to skip a beat, or overwhelms you with an enormously positive sensation.
Many people believe that if they express thanks for their present situation, they will never want to change and will soon find they are overweight again. Expressing gratitude for the life you have does not mean giving up on obtaining a desired weight. For all intents and purposes this does not weaken purpose, but indeed, it compliments it!
In loving what you have in the here and now and in expressing thanks for the good things in your life, you are actually establishing a positive catalyst for embarking on much-needed change. This is not giving up by any means! On the contrary, it is a better starting point to attain renewed self-love. We actually claim that a lack of self-love ultimately leads to overweight.
This principle suits any change you wish to make in your life. For this example we will talk about your body. First, you should thank your body for taking you from one place to another, for being there with you even when you don’t take care of it, for being in the weight and shape it is and not worse. It is true that your body is not as you want it to look, but only after showing gratitude for the joy it gave, you are truly able to move on to your new perfect body. Just because you want to replace it with a newer shape and weight does not necessarily mean you are ungrateful. What would happen if you weighed 20 lbs more? What if you were incapable of moving because of sickness? Couldn’t your situation be worse than now?
Appreciate it, thank it and ask for something better. As a dear friend of ours, Steve D’Annunzio, says, “I thank my body for what it gives me in my life here and now and nevertheless I prefer a good looking healthy body.”

Look Good and Then Lose Weight
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.

How Can Your Subconscious Self-Image and the Law of Attraction Help You Lose Weight Fast and Keep You Healthy?
What does self-image have to do with weight loss? What role does the subconscious play?
How can your self-image affect your success in following your diet?
In our subconscious mind we all have a particular self-image. It may be an image of a fat person that needs to lose weight fast, or of an unsuccessful person, or maybe a very attractive confident one.
That image has a representation attached to it, a picture that pops-up in our minds whenever we say the word “I”. The picture that appears to us in our minds does not necessarily equal reality. It actually matches the belief we have about who we are in our deepest subconscious.
If you have an image of a ‘fat’ you running through your head, how would you attract the desired ‘thin’ you, into your life? That image in our mind of the way we look, weight and external appearance determine what we project into the world.
Research shows that 80% of our behavior is affected by our subconscious. And that, together with our belief system, determines our results.
If you perceive of yourself as fat in your subconscious, the law of attraction will attract into your life that fat image time and again.
Changing the personal image you have of yourself to an image of a thin, healthy successful one, will help you become healthy and reach the weight you really want fast.
The change has to begin in your subconscious.
The next story will emphasize this point.
One of our students started applying what she learned by using our weight loss method and started losing weight.
Still her self-image of a thin attractive woman was not fixed in her subconscious just yet.
After losing 10 pounds she realized that she was not able to keep her diet any more. She even started seeing her real reflection not as it was. “I don’t feel like this is my reflection, it’s someone else’s. I look in the mirror and I see a fat distorted image staring back at me, even though I know that I lost weight.”
What actually happened is that her reflection in the mirror started changing into a thinner one, while her subconscious mind still held the image of a fat person.
Our subconscious doesn’t like changes. Whenever reality starts to change the subconscious panics and loosing the identity it was accustomed to. Actually, it can’t recognize the new person reflected in the mirror, unless the real picture is in harmony with the picture the subconscious holds.
So, in this case her subconscious started working on getting her back to the old ‘fat’ image.
We started working on changing the image in her subconscious by using affirmations, a vision board, and by changing her limiting beliefs in her subconscious. All of these are tools you can learn from our book, “Why Am I Not Thin Yet” and in our free newsletter at www.WhyAmINotThinYet.com
Now the self-image she has firmly implanted in her subconscious was of a healthy, appreciated, attractive, thin woman.
From that moment on, weight loss became effortless and she enjoyed looking at her reflection even before the change was complete.
Now, what image do you hold in your subconscious?
Is it of a successful, attractive self-confident person, or is it of an unworthy, fat, no good person?
If you want to succeed in losing weight and maintain the change in you, you have to start with changing the self-image in your subconscious mind into a successful, healthy, and happy, worthy person.
This image will help you lose weight faster and easily keep it off for good.
Gratefully yours,

How Can the Law of Attraction Help You Lose Weight and Stay Thin?
Much has been said on how the Law of Attraction can help you get richer, wealthier and happier, but less has been said on how it can help you lose weight and stay slim forever!
It might sound different than what you are used to hearing, but yes, you can attract a fit, healthy good looking body with the help of the Laws of Attraction.
How can you start doing it right now?
Remember, your thoughts determine your reality.
You can see it in everything you do. When you have good thoughts about yourself such as, “I know I do it well”; “I am the best at….”; “It is easy for me”; this is where you create and attract things easily. Let’s say that I know I am good with computers and any new software is easy for me to learn. I am not afraid of it.
But, in the areas that I don’t excel is when I think negative thoughts such as: “I’d better not touch it or I’ll ruin it” or “this is not for me”.
The moment you are able to believe that you are getting better at something is the moment you ARE getting better at it!
So, if you believe that you are a lousy cook, but you really wish to surprise your family once with a nice meal, the day you say: “I can do it, I can be a good cook”, will you give it a chance and try. From time to time, and with practice, you’ll get much better. True?
Losing weight and being thin is just the same.
When you think “fat” thoughts, you attract “fat” reality. You believe that you are overweight or obsessed and your reality proves to you that it is true. In order for you to be able to succeed and lose weight easily you MUST think thin thoughts!
How?
Ask yourself what thin people are thinking like.
Ask yourself how you think they act with food.
Ask yourself how they treat their body.
Now start applying the answers you gave in your life!
For example, if you think someone is burning a lot of fat, start telling yourself that you can start burning fat too. Look for proof in your life where you already burn fat. Is it while you walk (even if it is just around the house)? Is it when you do housework? Remind yourself that every action you do – you are burning fat!
The amazing thing that happens is that you start thinking positive “thin” thoughts, and you “forget” for a while to think “fat” thoughts. Even though you didn’t change a thing in your daily routine your new thoughts will start attracting a new “thin” reality.
In order to get the best results it is crucial at this stage to practice new thin thoughts on a daily basis for between 31 to 52 days.
The effort is worth it. All you need to do is choose to think differently. You can think while you are in your car, at work, before going to sleep… all day long…
If you want proof of how “fat” stressing thoughts make you overweight, go to our Blog post that talks about Cortisol (Proof: Why Stressing Out Makes You Gain Weight).
Here are some “thin” thoughts to help you:
“I eat until I am full.”
“I love my reflection.”
“I lose weight every day.”
“I love to exercise.”
“My metabolism improves every day.”
“I am in control of my life, my thoughts, and choices.”
“I am truly amazing.”
We’ve been where you are at and our goal is to help people. So, Be sure to sign-up for our newsletter or check out when our next “Think Your Way Thin” webinar is.
To Your Success!

Decide to Lose Weight and Be Healthy
How many times have you decided to start a new diet? Whatever diet that was (Low Carb Diet, Mediterranean Diet, South Beach, Cabbage Soup Diet, Protein Diet, Liquid Diet, etc.), did you manage to stick with it?
Let’s talk about deciding to diet.
The word decision comes from two Latin words.
“De” –meaning “from”, and “Ceadere” - meaning “to cut”. This is when you make a decision to do something (in this case starting a diet) and at that very moment any other option is not even considered. Even if we meet difficulties staying on the diet we have no choice but to carry on.
When we start a new diet every week we are not making a decision to diet we are only making a wish to lose weight. The problem is that your subconscious receives the message that you are not serious about dieting. Thus the diet never works.
When do decisions regarding diets actually work?
When people experience a trauma such as an illness, or when they lose someone close to them due to being overweight, they are more motivated to totally change their habits and suddenly it seems that following a diet is easy. They discover that they don’t have “to go on a diet” every other day and most likely will begin to live their life differently.
How can you follow your diet program without difficulty?
There are two major elements to be aware of about your decision to diet:
One: Having an important reason to diet helps keep you committed to the task and the diet is transformed into a healthy life style.
Ask yourself: What are your reasons for losing weight? Is it your health, or maybe your children, or your desire to be attractive to someone, or feel great about yourself? Maybe you want to be able to go to the beach without feeling ashamed of your body? What if you promised your loved ones or yourself to lose weight for these reasons? What are the odds you will succeed this time?
Two: The role your subconscious has on the success of your diet program.
If you have decided to diet many times before and failed, your subconscious will invariably fail you again. This pattern of deciding to start a diet and failing to follow it becomes a habit and your subconscious identifies it as such.
Following the same approach you will unconsciously fail your diet.
What you need to do.
Change the way you make decisions regarding diets.
The subconscious mind needs new programming regarding your decision to diet. It’s about time you stick to your decision to diet. To do that, decide to diet one day at a time.
Yes, every day, when you wake up, decide if you want to diet today. If so declare your decision to diet by saying out loud to yourself: “Today I promise myself and the people I care for, to keep my diet, to be healthy, happy and powerful. I will stick to my decision to diet all day. Tomorrow I will decide again.”
The decision to diet for one day at a time is much easier to follow. Your subconscious now sees that you stick to your decisions and promises about dieting and weight lose becomes natural.
Promising yourself and others to follow your diet today makes your commitment to your diet stronger.
Even if one day a week you decide not to diet remember that all together you managed to keep your diet 88% of the month! It is better than nothing!
Another very important decision we recommend is this:
I promise to love and respect myself no matter how I look, to see all the good in me and make it stronger and better.

Lose Weight – While Eating Chocolate Chip Cookies
“How do you do that? How do you eat cookies and cakes every time I see you, and still stay thin!?” This is something I hear all the time. Well, there is an easy answer for that, but it is never easy for the asking side to hear it…
My answer is: “I just eat it, and stay thin…”
I am deeply sorry if this is annoying you too, but here is the great news: I learned it and practiced it (and still am) so ANYONE can do that too!
It is truly easy, but the only thing you need to do in order for that to last forever, is forget all those things you’ve learned until now, and be willing to at least try what we are talking about for 3 months.
What is the worst thing that can happen? You’d lose some pounds?
So here are the main things that I practice:
1. I learned to LOVE what I see in the mirror, NO MATTER HOW MUCH I WEIGH!
2. I love my food. I eat with joy, and I thank my food for helping me keep my health and figure.
3. I stopped fighting and accusing myself for what I ate after eating. I actually FORGET what I eat, and give it no second thought after I eat.
4. I practiced with my subconscious to believe that the house chores that I do are helping me keep my weight off as if was exercising at the gym.
5. I practiced with my subconscious to believe my metabolism is getting better everyday.
Trust me, when you manage to do the same for 3 months (on a daily basis) your success is promised.
Learn how to practice these weight loss tips & techniques… and more!

Diet Tips - How To Diet and Enjoy Food
Have you wondered what some great diet tips could do for you? All of us have had this feeling of declaring war with oneself when starting a diet. The point is that the minute you think of going on a diet you start thinking of all the food you’re not supposed to eat.
You try to go on a cabbage soup diet, and all you can think about is chocolate and bread that you are not allowed to eat. How can you follow your diet and stop fighting your desire to eat the forbidden food? Well, here comes your first diet tip…
The first thing you do is to give yourself the permission to eat one little treat a week or even every two days. How come? When you are allowed to eat something it stops being so attractive.
Keep only 2-3 treats you can eat every week in your house. A little trick on the subconscious mind is to keep them in the drawer where you keep those 2-3 allowed treats, like an apple, a carrot, a cucumber and other things you are allowed to eat while on a diet. Make them your treats too.
This way, when you feel like treating yourself, open the drawer and decide which treat its going to be today. You’ll be surprised to see that sometimes you actually choose cucumber over a little chocolate bar.
When you decide its OK to eat one to three treats a week it becomes a fun diet with no need to fight the desire to eat the forbidden foods.
We hope you enjoyed our first diet tip and invite you to our webinar filled with weight loss tips. You will learn how your thinking affects your weight and how to change your thinking to achieve your goals.
Enjoy and see you on our next blog!!!!
