1 Develop Your Ability to Focus The mind of the naturally-thin person tends to be focused, with attention
on one thing at a time. This quality simply mirrors itself in the
body as narrow, pointed, intense or small. In contrast, the mind of
the person who has a problem with their weight tends to be distracted,
with attention on many things at once. This quality simply mirrors
itself in the body as expanded, broad, encompassing or large. These
are generalizations, of course, with many exceptions, but consider
the overall message here. Because of the mind/body connection, it
is suggested that the body will usually reflect the condition of the
mind. As you narrow the focus of your mind, you will gradually experience
a similar thinning within your body. Focusing in its pure sense takes
no effort. It exists simply as the absence of distraction.
2 Release the Cellular Memory. It is crucial to release the cellular imprint from the cells of the
body itself so that once the preferred weight is established you won't
still "feel fat." Otherwise, even after losing weight, every metabolic
function will tend to continue as if you are still overweight. No
wonder it is so natural to gain weight back. Different emotions are
linked to various parts of the body. Fat will often collect in these
areas - to create a type of protection from feeling an old hurt or
anger. By finally releasing the old pain or anger, the weight will
have nothing to cling to. This might be called "emotional weight loss"-
an actual reduction of negative emotional energy. There are at least
37 modalities known to serve as catalysts to begin the release of
negative cellular patterns. Many of these systems involve direct physical
touch or manipulation. Others are more subtle, involving "energetic"
healing. Music is also known to trigger a release of the cellular
memory.
3 Fear of Food Keeps You Fat. It is advantageous to change broadly-ingrained attitudes and assumptions
that repeatedly sabotage success in attaining permanent weight loss.
Interestingly, these attitudes and assumptions seem to be common among
people with weight problems and not among people who are naturally-thin.
There are three reasons why fear of food keeps one fat. (1) You overcompensate
later. (2) The body thinks it's starving and literally stores calories.
(3) (the least obvious) Food absorbs an emotional "charge" and will
affect the person eating it.
4 Eat Only When You Are Hungry. Don't eat when you are not hungry. A naturally-thin person simply
would refuse food if he or she is not hungry.
5 Eat Regular Meals. Have you noticed that naturally-thin people do not skip meals? Why
do you? Especially breakfast - Do you skip meals hoping to lose weight
put on from the previous day? Please stop this - it only backfires.
6 Treat Yourself to the Foods You Like. Assuming you basically have a good diet, you must give yourself a
treat once in a while. However, try to do it in moderation, the way
a naturally-thin person would. For example, if you want some cookies,
have two, three, four... then have one or two more, if you still want
them. Then stop. THE TREAT IS OVER! If you keep eating, the treat
now becomes the curse!
7 Never Eat in a Hurry. It seems that the people who eat standing up are the people who claim
that there is no time to eat. They eat while they are cooking, while
they are walking. The problem here is that not enough importance is
placed on eating. But it is very important. When we rush, we end up
feeling un-nourished, even though our stomach might be full. This
will cause us to ultimately eat more than we want. How many times
do you you see a naturally-thin person eating standing up, in a hurry?
They instinctively place a high value on the pleasure of dining. They
don't want to rush it. Think about it.
8 Redefine the "Perfect Body." By today's strange standards, most people would consider Marilyn
Monroe to be overweight! Yet putting things in perspective, if Marilyn
Monroe had lived in the Renaissance period, she would have been considered
too thin! She would have been "sickly" compared to the cherubic ideal.
This was when food was scarce and to be what we now call "fat" was
considered a sign of health and wealth.There are many many perfect
body-types and it is extremely unfortunate that we allow ourselves
to be influenced by society's narrow, limiting, and unhealthy standards.
Invariably, people set a goal of what they would prefer to look like
in their mind. This goal usually is not only disrespectful to that
person's inherent body structure, but the process of reaching it would
be to cause a severe risk to his or her health. We must change our
individual and collective body image. We must change our distorted
perceptions of what constitutes a beautiful body. Until then, people
will continue to strive for the impossible, remaining in a constant
state of self-hatred and unhappiness.
9 Visualize Your Success. All people who succeed in anything admit that they practice visualizing
their success, with optimism, before actually attaining their goal.
10 Don't Tell Everyone. When we begin something new, we are very vulnerable. It is like a
little seedling which needs to be protected from the elements until
it is strong enough to withstand the forces of wind, sun, water, etc.
If we tell the wrong people about what we are doing too soon, we will
sabotage the results. Only discuss your intentions to seriously lose
weight with people you know for sure are there for you and who are
completely supportive.
