Weight Loss Starts With Your Thoughts

I've always believed that weight loss starts with the right frame of mind (of course you also need a good diet and exercise plan, but if you don't think right, then you won't succeed at that diet)... and this was proved by my dad losing over 24 kilograms since November last year.

Our family has been trying to get my old man to lose weight for years now and it's been to no avail. The diets he tried never worked for him and more importantly he just refused to change his eating habits, believing that he would never (and didn't need to ever) lose weight!

Then late last year (2009) he got given a book called "The Hallelujah Diet", which is a vegetarian/juicing diet, and for some reason it just made sense to him.

In less than a week he changed his idea of a good diet, stopped eating meat and suddenly had a positive and proactive outlook towards losing weight.

His main goal of the diet was actually to help fix his left knee (which was in major pain) and also to help with his skin disease called Psoriasis.

He was strangely not too concerned about losing weight, but only because he was totally confident that he would! Before he began the diet he told everyone that he would get down to 100 kilos (from 128) and that he would be able to ride a horse again! (he's 65)

I'm not sure if we really ever believed him but he certainly proved himself right. He's now sitting just above the 100 kg mark (around 102) and he goes on regular horse rides with us.

So yes he had a good diet... but more importantly he really believed that he could do it! He knew it and he told himself and all of us, all the time, that he was going to lose weight...

And this fact is what kept him motivated and dedicated to the diet (which he still follows)... and is the real reason that made him lose that weight!

There are so many diets and training programs to lose weight out there that work... But they'll only work if you believe, and continually tell yourself, that they will!

Sherri here: Your headline says it all! "Weight Loss Starts With Your Thoughts" That's what self hypnosis is all about! Sounds like your dad used self hypnosis without perhaps even knowing it.
