Losing Weight with Law of Attraction: Power of Belief

Have you ever considered how much power your beliefs have when it comes to the food you eat? Most of us have very strong ideas about which foods are good for us and which foods are not.

This would not be a problem if we only ate the foods we believe are good for us - but most of us still eat the foods we believe to be "bad" for us.

In a Law of Attraction context, what effect does this have on our bodies?

For one thing, it creates unpleasant side effects when we do indulge in these foods. If we believe that eating a certain food will make us gain weight, we will gain weight when we eat it. If we believe that a certain food will make us retain water, we do just that every time we eat it.

So, how can we overcome limiting beliefs so that we can enjoy eating our favorite foods without any unpleasant side effects?

Changing beliefs is not always easy to do, especially if they are deeply ingrained for many years. However, there is one way that never fails, it just takes time and effort: consistent repetition.

Every one of your existing beliefs is there because you keep telling yourself it is "the truth". Your intense belief that it is the truth will create "evidence" that seems to support your claim, making the belief even stronger.

Changing these beliefs requires a choice to believe the opposite. If you believe that eating cookies makes you gain weight, you need to convince yourself that your body knows how to process the cookies efficiently and you will not gain weight from eating a few.

This is not easy to do because you may REALLY, REALLY believe that you will gain weight if you eat cookies. And if you believe it strongly enough, it will happen. Which means you'll have an even harder time changing that old belief.

However, if you keep working at it over time, you can convince yourself that eating cookies will not make you gain weight.

If it helps, you can avoid eating cookies as you work on transforming this belief! Then you won't be gaining any weight in the meantime.

This same process can be used to change any limiting belief, related to weight loss or anything else.

It's not an overnight fix; it takes time but it is so worth it.

Here's an example of how to do this:

Let's use cookies as an example. Imagine that you love chocolate chip cookies but you have an ingrained belief that eating them will make you gain weight. You avoid them as much as possible but you also can't help sneaking a few here and there - and whenever you do, you gain a few pounds.

Start immediately by saying often to yourself, "My body processes all foods perfectly." Imagine yourself eating a few cookies and NOT gaining weight. You can even "see" yourself standing on the scale and feeling amazed and happy that you didn't gain weight from eating those cookies.

As you eat other foods, remind yourself that your body knows how to process them perfectly. Lift a bite of food up to your face and say, "My body knows how to digest and process this food to obtain the most nutrients possible from it." Then eat it and imagine your body doing that.

When you feel ready to try it with cookies, go ahead and do it. Affirm that your body will process them perfectly, and focus on enjoying every single bite. Don't go overboard, have just one or two, and then affirm that your body is handling it perfectly.

Note that this may not work the first time - or even the first few times - you try it. It depends how deeply ingrained your beliefs are. But consistent effort should show good results in changing your beliefs over time.

(Note: This process should not be used for food allergies and medically restricted diets without doctor approval.)
