weight loss


Weight loss is not just about the body. Weight loss begins with the mind. When I have a goal, I set an intention. An intention is a thought and it begins with the mind. Weight loss is my main goal this year. So, I set the intention of losing weight. I also set a deadline for losing weight. By May, I will be tight and toned.

I then write down my intention and repeat it in the morning and right before I go to bed. I do this in front of the mirror. For some reason, I feel much more accountable seeing myself read it. I say my intention with feeling. Soon, my intention becomes an affirmation.

My affirmation helps me stay focused when I'm working out and the negative thoughts come into play. Every time I've worked out this week, I always feel as if I'm at war with myself. I'm sure I will eventually get used to the prospect of working out, but with new physical challenges, I have a feeling that I will experience a mental challenge every single day.

I sit and I meditate on my goal sometime during my day. This helps me clear my mind and motivates me to continue on with my weight loss program.
