How to visualize weight loss

[Ida Ratherberaw]

I am not a thin person that suddenly got fat, I have always been overweight to some degree. I recently got a free visualization online from Jon Gabriel. I have a hard time seeing myself thin, and so... I have a hard time losing weight. It goes up and down, but not down, down, down. Any help out there? I just can't seem to see myself without this belly and rolls.
Thanks!

I got his book when it first came out. His way didn't work for me. But here's what I did and it DID work... I'[ve lost 67 of the 120 pounds that I had to lose... I played on the movie screen in my mind's eye... ME thin and I played it over and over and over.... and while I played it I imagined what it would FEEL LIKE to be thin and have people notice how much weight I'd lost. I FELT the feelings as much as I could. As I kept working at it I got to where I FELT it more and more and I started thanking the Universe for ALREADY making me thin. So I SAW it, FELT it, and Thanked for it. It took a YEAR of doing that before it kicked in and manifested. But it was a year well spent. When it kicked in I KNEW it was starting to manifest. I could FEEL it starting to happen. Valentine's Day was my magical  day. I quit sodas, caffeine and all processed foods. *poof*... just over night. I started Sun Gazing which also helped me have no withdrawals. So here I am 3 months later and 67 pounds lighter ! I only have 53 more pounds to go :-)

I'm trying to change the way I think about myself.  Before I used to think I was the fattest person in the room.  I was never that big, and it wasn't true.  But that was just how I felt.  Now I'm wearing a size medium, so I need my mind to match my outside.  Can you visualize parts of you being thin?  For me I can picture my arms, face and hips being thin.  I can't see my thighs being toned, or my stomach being totally flat.   Rather than focusing on the whole picture, why not visualize the parts that are easier, I think with time, it will become easier to see yourself as a thinner person.

That's a really good idea Hilary ! :-)

Congratulations on your weight loss Rayla! Thanks for the input Rayla and Hilary. I know it takes practice. I guess I'll start with neutral parts. The stomach is a minefield! I don't consume junk food, soda, coffee, cigarettes, etc. I already eat lots of raw food, juices, smoothies, cooked vegan food, and occasionally meat, although i seem to have lost my interest in it. When Im eating a muffin or cookie it's gluten free.thats an occasional treat. I probably should get more physically active, but I'm a little resistant to that right now. That's why I want to do the visualization.
