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,

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!

Proof: Why Stressing Out Makes You Gain Weight!
Have you heard about Cortisol?
Well, in our body there is a steroid hormone called Cortisol. It is known as the “stress-hormone” due to the simple fact that the level of Cortisol in our body rises when we get stressed.
Now why should this even interest us? Aren’t we talking about easy and fun diets?
Well, it is really important to know that when the Cortisol level in our body starts to rise the body reacts by raising the blood sugar level releasing fatty acids so that the muscles will have enough energy to operate and survive. It means that if you eat while you are stressed you are going to gain weight.
What actually happens is that when we are stressed the body reacts as if we have just fallen into a deep pit and we may be stuck there for 3 days. This bodily mechanism saves your life by “conserving” the necessary things it needs which is sugar, fat and more.
But the problems start when we are stressed as the Cortisol level increases and we are in very close proximity to our kitchen.
Our body can’t tell the difference between small meals (even if we are on a diet and hardly eat a thing) or regular big meals. While we are stressed our body reacts the same way to anything we eat conserving it and that is when we start to gain weight.
So, if you are for example, on the cabbage diet and all you eat is cabbage soup and you are stressed during the day, it is equivalent to eating 3 full meals. Your body will store anything you eat and you will be over weight, or at least will not lose weight.
But you may say: “When I eat I am not stressed at all. I love eating so much that it makes me feel so good”. If that is the case, great! But the most important thing is to stay calm after you eat!
If I just finished a nice juicy burger with some fries and a coke and by the time I got back to the car I realized that it was a big mistake, I will be stressed. My body will immediately react to that thought, it will raise the Cortisol level and I will start gaining weight and fat.
If you have already eaten that meal be happy about it, and forget it!
Remind yourself that you deserve a medal for not taking the big size ice-cream sundae you really wanted. And you know you could eat it all!
Celebrate your success.
Forget those things that make you feel bad.
Oh, yes – One important thing to mention:
Being stressed about ANYTHING will make you gain weight.
Let’s say that you are stuck in traffic and you think that there is no chance to get where you’re going on time and you start to get stressed. STOP! It is not helping you lose weight. By being stressed you won’t make the traffic go away, true? So why gain weight due to that too? Turn on your radio and listen to music that you love, call someone that you love talking to, sing a song –Do what makes you feel good.
This also includes fighting with your spouse and kids, being angry at your boss, and especially being upset from looking in the mirror.
It may sound weird, but only when you’ll be able to look at yourself in the mirror with only good thoughts will you be able to lose weight. Try thinking positively: “I love myself just as I am.” Or how about: “I promise myself that I’ll get thinner everyday and I can feel it starting to happen already.”
Allow yourself to love your reflection right now!
It doesn’t mean that you are giving up on losing weight – on the contrary!
Only when you are able to look at yourself with love, your body will not rise the Cortisol level and it will keep on doing what it does best. So, take good care of your health, and help yourself reach your healthy weight!
