Ray of hope!
Things definitely happen for a reason. Sometimes in our worst moments we receive blinding clarity. If things hadn't gotten so bad yesterday then I would never have reached out and picked up "The Secret" by Rhonda Byrne. After my blog last night I suddenly felt an urge to go find that book. Then I decided to just open it somewhere and see what it said. This is where I opened it to:
Step 1: Ask
Get clear on the weight that you want to be. Have a picture in your mind of what you will look like when you have become that perfect weight. Get pictures of yourself at your perfect weight, if you have them, and look at them often. If not, get pictures of the body you would like to have and look at those often.
Step 2: Believe
You must believe you will receive and that the perfect weight is yours already. You must imagine, pretend, act as if, make-believe, that the perfect weight is yours. You must see yourself as receiving that perfect weight.
Write out your perfect weight and place it over the readout of your scale, or don't weigh yourself at all. Do not contradict what you have asked for with thougths, words, and actions. Don't buy clothes at your current weight. Have faith and focus on the clothes you are going to buy. Attracting the perfect weight is the same as placing an order with the catalogue of the Universe. You look through the catalogue, choose the perfect weight, place your order, and then it is delivered to you.
Make it your intention to look for, admire, and inwardly praise people with your idea of perfeact-weight bodies. Seek them out and as you admire them and feel the feelings of that - you are summoning it to you. If you see people who are overweight, do not observe them, but immediately switch your mind to the picture of you in your perfect body and feel it.
Step 3: Receive
You must feel good. you must feel good about You. This is important, because you cannot attract your perfect weight if you feel bad about your body now. If you feel bad about your body, that is a powerful feeling, and you will continue to attract feeling bad about your body. You will never change your body if you are critical of it and find fault with it, and in fact you will attract more weight to you. Praise and bless every square inch of your body. Think about all the perfect things about You. As you think perfect thoughts, as you feel good about You, you are on the frequency of your perfect weight, and you are summoning perfection.
I realise that despite the fact that I've lost 24kgs already, that I still send out really negative messages about myself. I'm always waiting to fail. I'm always thinking don't and not - I don't want to fail, I will not fail - and the message the universe is receiving is I want to fail, I will fail. The Universe doesn't get the don't and the not - it only works in reaction to your predominate thoughts. So today I'm working on CAN AND DO. I'm working on being conscious of the messages I'm sending out and what thoughts are dominating my mind.
I've started reading the book now from the begining and it is really changing my view of what is possible.
