A powerful technique to help you build a super-strong weight loss mind-set

By Toby Edge


In a previous article I looked at mind-set and how crucially important it is for long term weight loss. I described how it is your current programming and subconscious mind-set that really determines you weight, and that you will need to get this foundation piece right if you want long term success.

So what exactly can you do about this?

Well, one of the best techniques that I have come across for long term weight loss is known as 'self-talk'. This may well be something that you have heard of before and it can have a profoundly positive impact on your mind-set, and therefore your weight, when usd properly. Lets take a look at how we can use this technique for lasting weight loss success.

As I have previously mentioned in another article, your programming will come from various different sources, such as what people say to you and about you, what you do, and what you say to yourself. This last one is what we are focusing on here. Lets look at an example - what you say to yourself 'I am never going to lose weight forever' or 'this new diets not going to work for me' you are actually programming that into your subconscious, making it a reality. Self talk will help you to change all of that around.

The first thing to do is to evaluate what your self talk is like at the moment. The best way of doing this is by spending 3 days carry around a notepad and keeping a log of all of your current self talk about dieting, exercise, and your weight. So, if you heard yourself saying 'this diet is not going to work for me' in your head, you'd note that down. This will help you create a cleaer picture of what your current self talk is like.

After three days you should review what you have written into your log. Ask yourself this - are these the sorts of programs you really want to log into your subconscious. Remember these programs are kind of like orders, so you really want to be sending the right signals, right?

In order to sort this issue out you will first need to turn your negative self talk into positive self talk. For example, if you wrote down the phrase 'I hate exercise' you can change this to be 'I love exercise'. Do that with all of your phrases and you'll start to see what you should be logging into your subconscious mind.

Now that you have these positive messages, read them every day. Read them each morning, in from of the mirror, and out loud. If you do this for a few weeks you will start to see some positive changes. When this happens you can start to take things further by editing your internal self talk as you go. This is where long term change will come from.

Use this technique regularly and you will see amazing changes to your mind-set. This will allow you to build that super strong foundation for permanent weight loss success.
