Life is extraordinary filled with wonderful people to show up to teach us things. Mitzi, a special friend from high school, sent me a book, The Game of Life and How to Play It, when I was struggling with a sickness years ago. The author speaks about the law of attraction, which I have written about previously. In addition, she writes, “No man is your enemy, no man is your friend, every man is your teacher." When you look at life this way, it becomes so simple. Rather than be offended by what a person is saying to you, think a new thought. What is this person teaching me? What can I learn from this person? This book changed my life as it showed me how I could change my thoughts. I had always functioned from a foundation of worry and fear. Worry and fear are lower vibrational energies and then I attracted lower energies. Today, I see things entirely different as a result of changing my thoughts, and am so grateful for this transformation. I am now attracting higher vibrational energies and am amazed who is showing up for me!
What I would like you to do is write down the top five people in your life. Don’t try and analyze this—just write down those people that first pop into your mind. Now, write down the lessons they are teaching you. This might be a challenge if there is conflict with any of them. I once read that your true soul mates are the people who challenge you to be better.
You have been given many great gifts. You are to share your talents with the world. By remaining stuck in your weight issues, you are ripping off the world of what you came to this earth to do. Recently, I worked with a personal coach who said these exact words to me….that if I wasn’t sharing my talents, I was ripping off the world of all that God intended for me. This really made a powerful impact. Everything you are today is because of your thoughts and your decisions that you have made as a result of those thoughts. In the book, If You Think You Can, the word decision comes from the Latin root meaning “to cut off from." “There comes a time in every person’s life when making a decision is truly necessary. A decision where you thought so deeply in what you want that there is no option for turning back."
Make the decision today to gain your power back and lose the weight. The answers are within you. Keep focused on your goal. Surround yourself with people who will support your decision and release those who won’t. Give up the lifestyle that supported your weight gain. See the weight as a gift to you so that you will be conscious in becoming all you can be. We all get off track and the weight becomes a reminder that you want something different, something more meaningful. Again, it’s very simple. To quote Wayne Dyer, “Surround yourself with the conditions you want to produce."
Who are the people you are going to surround yourself?
Who are the people you are going to have limited contact?
Who are the people you are going to let go?
Just to let you know what is coming up in January. I’ll be offering a teleconference call to help you outline your goals for 2005. The only cost to you is the price of the phone call. I’m so excited to be able to talk to you—I’m shakin’ my booty right now in anticipation.
Remember that you are already whole and complete just as God created you. You’re peeling back the layers to discover the beauty that already exists—you only need to see it. Quick, grab a mirror or go stand in front of the mirror and repeat after me. Put energy into these words and smile while you’re saying them.
I am the most beautiful person on this earth!
I am a wonderful child of God!
I am powerful!
I am God’s gift to the world!
I am my ideal weight!
I love myself!
Thank you for being you!
Love and hugs,
Weight Loss 8 Weeks
The operative word is long-term. For any long-term weight loss program to be successful, you have to be consistent in sticking to it. You may perhaps know that more than half of the population in the USA is overweight or obese and hundreds of thousands of people are looking for a miracle weight loss program. Millions are on a diet, although how regular they are in keeping to their schedule is a big question. Since the number of weight loss programs is overwhelming, you may need professional help and advice to decide what is best for you.
If you follow the eight great tips listed below for long-term weight loss with an iron will, you are bound to achieve your ideal weight by shedding all the accumulated excess pounds in the shape of fat in your body.
1. Consult your health care professional
If you feel quite confused about what to do or if you do not know which of the myriad of available weight loss plans that you have to choose, the best thing to do first is to take professional advice in the matter. Your doctor or dietician is the best person to consult to help assess your overall health condition and tell you how many pounds you have to lose, how to reduce your calorie-intake and how to increase your physical activity on a regular basis.
Intensive measures like prescription drugs and even surgical intervention might be suggested in cases of severe obesity.
2. Make a strong resolution
An ironclad resolution to pursue your chosen path for weight loss is necessary. Most people fail in their attempts to lose weight because they often slip up on the schedules. They think that it does not matter if they deviate from the strict program now and then. Actually, it does. Sometimes the deviations become so frequent that the program is as good as given up.
3. Keep a diary
To keep track of your progress, you may have to maintain details about your meals. Write down what and when you ate things. Any deviations have to be recorded faithfully, on a daily basis. Never ever give up. That is the key.
4. Eat right
Learn what foods are suitable for you to lose weight. Also, a you keep losing weight, whether the food plan has to change with the changing situation. Most probably, your doctor may have advised you to avoid high-carb, high-sugar, high-fat diets. Also, avoid taking fad-diets that promise that you will lose tens of pounds in one week. A preferred rate would be to lose a pound or two per week. If you lose weight too quickly, you will have a hard time keeping it off.
5. Drink enough water
Drinking eight to ten glasses (or even more) of water will be helpful in shedding fat. In fact, some recommend drinking at least two glasses of water the first thing in the morning.
6. Exercise regularly
A daily exercise program, at least five times a week, lasting at least 20 to 30 minutes per session, is appropriate for the metabolism to be strengthened. Though this seems difficult at first, you will certainly get used to it once you get over the initial hurdles of starting an exercise regimen.
7. Lead an active life
Try to be as physically active as possible throughout the day. The more you sit at one place, the less will be the effect of your weight loss program.
8. Avoid alcohol
Drinking alcohol will have a negative impact on your plans. Alcohol is easily metabolized and stored as fat in your body. Avoiding it is essential to any weight loss plan.
