Do you believe that your mind and your thoughts have a big impact on your weight and attitude? I am a huge believer that where your mind goes…your body follows. So to help you lose 5 pounds in 3 weeks, here are thoughts you can schedule for yourself to think over the next 16 days.

They WILL help you get THINNER!

Thoughts:

1. I don’t have to eat it just because its on my plate.

2. BIG PORTIONS – BIG PEOPLE Small portions – small people.

3. What have I learned about my eating style today?

4. I can DO this just ONE more day.

5. What is the best alternative I can come up with, right now?

6. I will NOT let chocolate determine my self-esteem.

7. My husband is 6’1″ and I am 5’3″ – WHY do I think I could or should eat what he eats?

8. Buffets are intended for you to have choices, not to eat the whole thing!

9. If I eat this S L O W , I will really T A S T E it….and enjoy it for what it is – and NOT need more.

10. You can eat whatever you want at tonight’s party – as long as you have exercised the right to do so!

11. I know I can do this – if I really WANT to.

12. What can I do today to make me feel good about myself?

13. This is just 1 day out of my 365 day year – I can cope with it. tomorrow will be easier.

14. If I don’t take care of my weight and health – there are a lot of doctor’s and others who will gladly take my money to do it for me.

15. I never tell myself I am quitting – I only say: ” I’m taking a break, or vacation day today. It stops me from thinking it is all over. I acknowledge it is just a temporary break. Then I do not have to feel guilty over it.

16. When I get to my goal weight – I am treating myself to a spa! and pretend I am “Oprah for a day” (: She is only the richest woman in America ( at least as of this writing) Won’t you feel rich when you are at your goal weight and feeling your best?
