I have been involved in a very interesting online conversation recently about food and weight issues, and I now understand something that had confused me for a while.
If you have tried out my guided visualization, you know that I am a person who believes in the power of positive focus and envisioning what you desire.
I have a good understanding of the Law of Attraction at this time, but when I lost my weight I had never heard it. My newer understanding led to some confusion over the attraction that was in play during my own weight loss.
During my weight loss I found inspiration to release my excess weight by looking at photos of me at my heaviest. My question was – How did I attract a slimmer body by looking at, and focusing on, a fat photo?
The answer is – It is all about the feeling! It’s about the feeling I had as I looked at that photo.
So, what did I feel when I looked at that picture of me fat and puffed up? I felt an awakening of awareness and consciousness. I knew that WAS NOT ME. I could see that I was presenting a false image to the world. That image is how others were viewing me – but it wasn’t me!
Seeing that photo, I realized that the true ME was hidden and I was ready to unveil her and create a new picture. I felt a desire to lovingly shape the me in the picture into the me that I knew was inside.
If looking at a photo of yourself at your heaviest makes you feel bad - Don’t continue to do it! It is also true that if looking at a photo of yourself at your goal weight makes you feel badly and unhappy that you aren’t that weight now - Don’t continue to do it!
Find a focus that feels good to you, and don’t worry about “rules” that work for someone else.
