Let's take another look at how you think and what might be holding you back from getting the body you desire. Ok, I have a question for you. Ready? Ok, here we go!
Do you hate skinny people? Ok, you might say hate is a strong word. Well let me rephrase the question. Do you have a strong dislike for skinny people?
Now as you take time to answer this question, I would also like to expand on what I mean by skinny people.
Now as you take time to answer this question, I would also like to expand on what I mean by skinny people.
Skinny Defined
By skinny I mean, thin, slim, athletic or fit people. The people who always seem to be in shape no matter what. The people who seem to be able to eat anything and not suffer for it. The people who don't have a problem going into any store to buy clothes. The people who are often admired for their physique. The people who seem to be the life of the party and it just seems like things are easier for them. The people who are the first ones picked out of a line up for a team.
Yes, those skinny people.
Are you starting to visualize them?
Now ask yourself seriously?
Do you really like them? Do you see them and wish them well or do you secretly hope they trip over an unforeseen stone landing harshly on the ground and get knocked out cold.
Perhaps the above line was humorous and made you chuckle or perhaps there is someone who you wish that would actually happen to.
Well, what are you getting at Chris?
Remember this line I'm about to write if nothing else:
You will never become that which you hate!
Shall I support the above statement, ok.
Suppose you've had a raging alcoholic father growing up. You've seen him verbally and physically abuse your mother. You lived in fear of him all your life. It seemed he was always drunk, seldom sober and you could never have your friends over in fear of their safety or how your alcoholic father may react at any given moment.
You hated your father!
You swore that you would never become like that.
You will never become that which you hate!
Conclusion
Now do you think you will ever become an alcoholic drunk, certainly not!
Now if you hate skinny people you will never become one! Your subconscious will do everything in it's power to avoid pain. Your subconcious will move away from that which it hates or dislikes.
Your weight loss is doomed or short live unless you change your mind.
Now to change your mind and feelings towards skinny people, start liking them, bless them as they walk by, wish them well, start to appreciate them for who they are, become their friend.
Do not envy them but love them.
Now that which you love and embrace you can become.
Make it a great day!
