VISUALIZATION AND WEIGHT LOSS

Visualization can be an effective tool for weight loss because it helps to change one’s mindset and reinforces positive thoughts and behaviors.

Hitting menopause, I realized that I could no longer just eat anything I wanted.

When I hit 72 kg, which was 24 pounds over my ideal weight, I saw with my own eyes that I had to change.

Back in the easy days, I had learned from my crew of Living From Vision® teachers who had specialized in using LFV for health and weight loss, that visualization had made a dramatic change for those wanting to lose weight.

They taught that by visualizing yourself as being thin and healthy, you cannot only train your mind to focus on your goals and work towards making them a reality, but you get the support of additional power from the universe. As if the subconscious mind starts to help you.

Additionally, visualization can help to increase your motivation, reduce stress, and negative emotions, and improve your confidence and self-esteem, which can all contribute to a more successful weight loss journey.

There have been several studies that have investigated the role of visualization in weight loss. One study published in the International Journal of Behavioral Medicine found that participants who visualized eating healthier foods and engaging in physical activity experienced a significant decrease in body weight compared to those who did not use visualization.

Another study published in the Journal of Obesity found that visualization combined with other weight loss strategies, such as calorie counting and exercise, resulted in greater weight loss compared to those who used only traditional weight loss methods.

These findings suggest that visualization can be a valuable addition to a weight loss program and can help to enhance the effectiveness of other weight loss strategies.

However, it is important to note that visualization should not be used as a sole method for weight loss and should be combined with a healthy diet and regular exercise.

Here is a short visualization exercise for weight loss:

• Find a quiet and comfortable place where you won’t be disturbed.

• Close your eyes and take a few deep breaths to help you relax.
• Visualize yourself in a healthy and fit body. See yourself as you would like to look, with a toned body, clear skin, and bright eyes.
• Imagine yourself eating nutritious and satisfying meals, enjoying physical activity, and feeling confident and proud of your progress.
• See yourself reaching your weight loss goals, and feel the sense of pride, accomplishment, and happiness that comes with it.
• Hold onto this visualization for a few minutes, allowing yourself to fully immerse and feel yourself in the experience.
• When you are ready, slowly open your eyes and take a few deep breaths to bring yourself back to the present moment.
• Repeat this visualization regularly, especially when you feel discouraged or unmotivated, to help you stay focused on your weight loss goals.

“The power of visualization is truly amazing and can make a significant impact on your weight loss journey. By visualizing yourself as healthy, fit, and confident, you can train your mind to focus on your goals and work towards making them a reality. So, go ahead, close your eyes, and start visualizing your success.

It took a whole year of visualization and dedication to lose a whopping 24 pounds! By setting achievable short-term goals and having a clear final vision in my mind, I was able to reach the ultimate goal number on my scale. It was a moment to be celebrated and I posted a joyful Facebook update to mark the occasion of my success.

Remember, the mind is a powerful tool, and by harnessing its power, you can achieve anything you set your heart on. So, stay positive, stay motivated, and most importantly, believe in yourself. Your new, healthier, and happier self is just a visualization away!”
