Can You Think Yourself Thin?

Is it even possible? You bet it is! It’s amazing how our thoughts about ourselves ultimately affect who we are.

What do you see when you look in the mirror? Do you see your positive points? Maybe beautiful hair, eyes, nicely shaped legs and arms? Or do you see the negatives? Maybe your waist is larger than you want or your arms jiggle when you move.

But is that all you are? Arms that jiggle when you wave? Of course not! You have so much to offer but much of what you have to offer disappears because you only see a never changing picture of yourself.

When I met my husband I wore a size 6. And I loved how I felt. But I wasn’t very healthy. I was depressed, I didn’t eat at all and I was always too tired to exercise. So even though I looked good, I really was miserable.

As I got healthier emotionally I started eating more and worked my way up to my “normal” size 10. I have to say it bothered me a bit but last year my husband bought me a denim skirt for Christmas. It was exactly like the one I wore when I met him. Even the size! He still saw me as a size 6. It never even crossed his mind that I was larger. When I brought it up his answer was that I was beautiful when we met and had only gotten more so each day. WOW!

After that I started looking more at my good points. And the more that I appreciated them, the better I ate. And the better I ate, the more I wanted to move, and stretch and appreciate my body.

I’ve learned now that if I wake up every morning and spend about 5 minutes visualizing the good me…the one that’s healthy and fit, drinks water instead of soft drinks and who enjoys fruits and vegetables, then that’s the person I am that day.

Try it for a week. Every day spend some time in the morning visualizing yourself healthy, enjoying exercise, or simple walks and enjoying eating the right foods. You’ll be absolutely amazed at the results. You’ll not only think yourself thin….but you’ll think yourself into a totally new you.
