Affirmations encourage self-change when you use them. They act as reminders and inspiration to help you focus on your weight loss goals during your day. The most significant benefit gained from using affirmations is that they focus attention on your goals and promote positive thoughts through a considerable change in your life.
Finding Your Weight Loss Affirmations When you look for a weight loss affirmation, seek out a positive statement about your weight loss process. Always use first person tense when creating a powerful affirmation. Also, apply the statement directly to you and your situation. It should be full of positive, emotional comments about your weight loss and your body.
A strong connection exists between mind-body experiences and words of emotion. So, instead of saying, “I only eat healthy food,” try saying something like “I feel much healthier and happier when I eat healthy food. Weight loss affirmations should also be written in the present tense. Even though you don’t feel a certain way about your weight loss yet, you speak towards a goal.

I become a better me when I eat well. 2. I enjoy eating tasty new foods that help me lose weight. 3. I achieve my weight loss goal by eating healthier every day. 4.

Saying affirmations may feel strange especially when your conscious mind struggles with saying these new positive words. What you can do, is sandwich these affirmations with things you know are true. For example, "My name is ____ and I am ___ years old. (Now insert affirmation). I feel my muscles becoming stronger. The weather is great outside now to go for a quick walk."
