3 Page3 What s Mind-Set got to do with it? (Everything, Actually) Starting a weight loss diet often results in an all or nothing mind-set. You vow to never eat junk food again, follow your diet plan to the letter, drink lots of water, push yourself to work out religiously, and lose those extra kilos once and for all. This attitude usually stems from a strong sense of dissatisfaction about your current state (being fat), and a strong determination to reach a better state (being thin). Losing weight is most often seen as only an external process. The expectation is that taking actions like eating healthy food, eating smaller portions, cutting out junk food and exercising more will result in weight loss, smaller size clothing and the opportunity to live happily ever after. However, if this is the magic formula for weight loss success why do thousands of dieters struggle for years with fluctuating weight loss and weight gain? The answer is that to achieve permanent weight loss both the internal and external process must be addressed. If we don t change our Mind-Set, those automatic negative thoughts, beliefs and messages that we hold about ourselves, will keep us in a battle with our subconscious mind. Self sabotage will keep showing up and winning out. Many people think about themselves and their weight in terms of good or bad. They think that feeling bad and guilty about their extra kilos is an effective way to make themselves lose weight, but it actually creates more resistance within. We all have automatic self-talk continually flowing through our mind and often we are not even aware how negative our messages are. Do you regularly reprimand yourself for being: stupid, too fat, hopeless or ugly? Do you believe that you always give up and can t stick to anything? When you change your Mind-Set by controlling your self-talk and overriding negative messages, success will come easily to you.

4 Page4 The Negative Mind-Set (Yes, it s hiding there) A negative Mind-Set is often hiding in our subconscious mind and is not always evident to us on a conscious level. We may be convinced that we are trying really hard and life is just getting in the way of our good efforts. This negative Mind-Set often shows up even as you are losing weight. You may have set a goal to lose a certain amount of weight for a special occasion. You start off and stay on track with eating healthy foods and exercising. Your clothes begin to feel loose on you and the scales show that you have lost some body weight. Then all of a sudden, things head off track. You attend several parties and work functions where you are tempted to overeat. Perhaps you sleep in and don t have time to pack a healthy lunch for work. Then you start indulging in the office morning tea spread of cakes and biscuits. You start wondering why all of a sudden you are out of control! You feel annoyed that life is conspiring against you and getting in the way of your weight loss goals. What you may not realize is that you are actually sabotaging your weight loss goals. This is the time to really become conscious and aware of what is happening on a Mind-Set level. You may actually be feeling uncomfortable with your new body size. It might feel unfamiliar to you to feel slim and attractive. You may feel uncomfortable with the attention you are attracting. You may feel that it s too much pressure to maintain the progress. So you subconsciously sabotage your efforts sooner than later. To break this pattern of self-sabotage, you need to search deep and identify what your inner beliefs about yourself are.

5 Page5 The Positive Mind-Set (Get yours today) To achieve weight loss and maintain a healthy body and mind, your Mind-Set needs to be one of loving and believing in yourself. You need to believe that you deserve to be healthy and happy, and let your actions flow naturally from that belief. You need to act from a core of worth that says, "I deserve better than what I've been giving myself up to now." When you approach weight loss with this type of Mind- Set, treating yourself healthily becomes much easier. Keep saying to yourself every day, "I deserve to be treated well. I deserve to eat foods I love and that make my body feel good". When you do this, your whole life becomes much more balanced and you don't have to fight those inner and outer "demons" that kept you tied to unhealthy habits for so long. When you learn to expect success, visualise success and think, feel and act like a slim, fit, healthy person your goals are easily attainable. It all depends on your Mind- Set. Changing the Sub-conscious Mind: (It s easier than you think) To have a truly positive Mind-Set we need to address both the conscious and subconscious mind. Our sub-conscious mind stores all of our messages, memories and beliefs. Of course, over the years we gather lots of negative messages. Hypnotherapy is one of the most effective ways to release all of those old, outdated, negative messages and replace them with positive, affirming messages and beliefs. Other therapies like Coaching, EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) and NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) can also be very effective in releasing those old, negative, mind patterns. Often, we are not even aware of the specific negative beliefs that we are operating on. This explains why we can know all of the right things to do on a conscious level to lose weight but subconsciously keep sabotaging our efforts. Hypnotherapy addresses the subconscious mind directly.

6 Page6 Changing the Conscious Mind: (A little bit of work for you) There are many strategies that will help you to develop a positive mind-set on a conscious level. The more you practice these techniques the more automatic they will become. Positive Affirmations Affirmations will train your mind to think positive thoughts about your weight loss goals. Try statements like: I deserve to be slim and fit and I am becoming the slim and attractive person I desire to be. As you say the Affirmations be sure to feel positive, happy emotions in your body. Visualizations See yourself in your mind as the slim, energetic person you would like to be. Imagine the clothes you are wearing and what you are doing. Sense how good you feel. Vision Boards Create a picture board (can be on cardboard, photo frame, in a scrap book or photo album) by pasting photos and pictures out of magazines. Collect images that you are attracted to and represent things you would like to have in your life e.g. photos of you at a slimmer size, pictures of healthy food, people exercising etc. Set Realistic Goals Goals give you a clear direction and enable you to reach your dreams. Goals are commitment to focus your energy in a particular direction. Make sure your weight loss goals are realistic and achievable.

7 Page7 Set Action Steps Create daily and weekly action steps that will move you towards your goal e.g. buying healthy food, cooking low fat meals, preparing dishes to take to work, scheduling time to exercise etc. Following through on these action steps will make you feel that you are in control of your life. Feeling in control will result in a positive Mind-Set. Create New Habits Habits are life-shapers. Choose the habits that will create your ideal lifestyle and lead you to your long term goals e.g. going to bed at a decent hour, waking up early to exercise, drinking lots of water etc. Feeling fit and healthy and at your optimum will give you that powerful Mind-Set. Asking Empowering Questions Instead of focusing on questions like Why can t I lose weight? ask yourself questions that encourage positive solutions and outcomes. Start asking yourself What do I need to do to lose weight? and What can I do differently this time to stick to my weight loss plan? or What would have to change for me to wake up early and exercise?
