ACT AS IF You Are Already A Healthy Weight

JUST FOR TODAY: Imagine what life will be like when you are at a healthy weight. ACT AS IF you are already there! Have the attitude and habits of success!

Maybe you are 10, 25, 50 pounds or more overweight, and are trying to lose weight.  Perhaps you struggle with anorexia or bulimia, and you need to gain 5, 10, 20 or more pounds for medical reasons.  Whatever your healthy weight may be, what would it be like to be that weight right now?  What would your attitude be like?  How would it feel to be free of anorexia, bulimia, binge eating disorder or obesity?  What habits would you be engaging in at your healthy weight?  Try to ACT AS IF you are already free, first in your mind and then in your actions.  Perhaps you can see yourself easily practicing the principles of Intuitive Self-Care, and listening to your true needs for eating, exercise and other aspects of your life.  Get a clear image of yourself living that success, and then take a small step today to make it a reality!
