Positive Self-Esteem and Weight Loss

Hello Everyone!

The following question is my response to a person about weight loss and what you need to believe before you can have long-term success. Never forget you can only be who you believe you deserve to be. The specific weight loss plan you choose is secondary to this key belief.

Question

I am fat and always seem to lose interest in following my diet after a week or two. My husband says I need to lose weight for me and my problem is that I donÕt like myself and being fat is how I see myself. What do you think?

Response

I agree with your husband. Healthy diets with good nutritious foods in reasonable portions along with exercise will help you lose weight. The problem so many people have is that they cannot visualize themselves at a reasonable weight and their low self-esteem screams at them that they are fat. The result is that they cannot get theses ideas out of their mind. Then when they do lose weight, they gain it back and the cycle continues. This is why 90% of persons over 40 that lose weight gain it back. I believe this is happening to you.

You need to not only stick to a good diet with exercise, but need to visualize yourself at a healthy weight for you. The key is to believe you deserve to be a healthy person. Say this to yourself over and over again and you will over time begin to believe it. Why not begin today? My weight loss program, "Liberate Yourself From Weight Gain", could be helpful to you to meet your personal growth and weight loss goals. However, the key is that you believe you can lose weight and deserve it.
