A Weighty Issue!

I saw a very compelling TV commercial for Jenny Craig recently, where the celebrity spokesperson spoke very frankly and emotionally, into the camera, about how this year when she woke up on New Years’ Day her first thought was not going to be about her weight. And subsequently how she was encouraging all of those in TV land to take the first step and join the program that she had so much success with. It is a very compelling commercial and my first thought was, “Wow, that’s amazing!”and it did lead me to think about weight from a different perspective.

What would it feel like if I were to wake up tomorrow and not think about my weight?

What would it feel like to look in the mirror and see myself in my body at my most perfectly healthy weight?

What would it feel like?

One thing I must clarify is that I don’t think about my weight when I get up in the morning, I doesn’t weigh on my mind really at all, I don’t weigh myself, count calories, or count points, I eat what I want and since the middle of November thoughts about my weight have become more prevalent. But like the millions of people that wake up tomorrow, whether its January 1st or not, what is going to be different for me? How can I keep that feeling? What can I do to keep motivated?

How can I attract the most perfect feeling to support me daily, weekly and heck lets even add support me at every mouthful.

According to the Law of Attraction what we resist persists, so if I’m resisting the thought of being more mindful about what I eat and being more mindful about my weight then really it’s a draw right? So what is my motivation?

Well for me I watched the commercial in my mind again but replaced the celebrity with my own self. I’m going to replay that at every opportunity because if I truly feel what it feels like to be at my perfectly healthy body weight, then the choices I make about food will support that.

So here is my plan:

First of all, I weighed myself. I banished scales from my life for many many years but 2 years ago bought one and it gave me a certain feeling of satisfaction to learn that I had only gained a couple pounds in the last year, despite it feeling like 20! And I signed up on a website that will help me track my progress www.weighttracker.info .

So once a week I will weigh myself and track my literal progress, in the meantime and in between time, I’m going to visualize what number will be on the scale daily before my weigh in and I’m going to feel what it feels like to have attained that number.

De-cluttering is a huge part of this for me. Not only am I going to work to de-clutter my mind of any thoughts that do not align with my efforts and be mindful of the chatter , and replace them with positive affirming statement that support me. As well, I’m going to use my knowledge of Feng Shui to get the energy moving in my home to both energetically and environmentally to support my efforts.

And so it begins… my intention is to Create Space in my own body and in my own physical spaces!
