subject: Change Your Thinking, Lose Weight [print this page] Each time your mind says anything contrary to your goal of establishing better eating habits you mentally picture a stop sign, a great big red one, and you say the word STOP! To yourself. Say it strongly and with conviction. Then you replace the negative thought with a positive one.
For my positive thought, I like to tell myself, "This is something good I am doing for myself."
To review, each time a negative though about food, eating, or your body appears in your mind, you quickly SEE the STOP SIGN, SAY STOP! To yourself and REPLACE with a positive statement.
So the routine is SEE, STOP, REPLACE.
Are you thinking that this is really corny? Well, corny or not, it definitely works.
Pretty soon, because of the repetition, you are believing that you are doing good things for yourself and soon after that you WANT to do more good things for yourself.
The result is that instead of "blowing it" the next time you dine out with friends, you can order a better choice from the menu and marvel at how wonderful it feels to treat your body well.
