This affirmation has helped me tremendously over the past couple of weeks. I wake up and say it to myself out loud as many times as I can… with the goal of about 400 times. When I find myself sometimes craving something high in calories (such as a Starbucks Carmel Macchiato at 340 calories), that “recording” in my head plays - I weigh 125 pounds and have a healthy, beautiful body - and suddenly the cravings go away as fast as they came on. It plays in my head when I want to be lazy for exercise. It plays in my head when I look in the mirror… First, I have created it in my mind. Now, it is time for the universe to create it in my life.
