Stop Telling Yourself It's Too Hard To Lose Weight by Kathryn Martyn, M.NLP

extra skin there. Every single one of us is flawed

in some way or another. It's what makes us unique.

Choose to focus on the benefits, rather than the

sacrifice

Everything worthwhile takes effort - having a baby

comes to mind. All mothers will likely agree that

childbirth has its down side, but the ultimate

reward makes it all worth it (yes, some women feel

great while pregnant, but I wasn't one of them).

Otherwise, everyone would be a single child. ;-)

Think about it.

Becoming a professional musician or baseball

player comes to many who played Little League and

started practicing the piano when they were very

small. Tiger Woods was only 3 or 4-years old when

his father first taught him to hold a golf club.

He also showed him videos of professional golfers

when he sat in his high chair eating his dinner

(his dad was a little odd, I'd say). Woods started

playing golf at such a young age that he literally

grew up playing the game. He wanted to play. His

father undoubtedly drove him to work harder at it

than most children would, but he had to have a

strong drive of his own or he never would have

made it. But what if he'd hit 6-year's old and

suddenly said to himself, "I don't want to

practice. I hate golf. I wanna play with my

friends. I'll never be any good at his stupid

game."

Maybe things would have turned out differently.

The bottom line though is he did what he did

because he wanted to (his parents obviously had a

lot to do with it too), and the reward? Today he's

considered the most gifted golfer of all time, and

to what does he attribute his success? The

practice and discipline of his mind. He learned

from one of his primary coaches to harness the

power of his mind - using NLP and hypnosis

techniques (and likely he's since started to use

EFT as well). Learn to use your mind to focus on

the results you want - or conversely focus on

avoiding what you do not want, and you'll win your

prize, loving the process, instead of dreading it.

How to Get Started

Starting from right now, go get a box of

toothpicks or something similar. Match sticks

would work too, or marbles, or pencils, small

rocks or twigs from the yard. Something small

enough you can carry it with you. Whenever you

catch yourself starting to say something negative

like, "I don't want to ..., or, "I hate ...," or

"I'm gonna strangle ..." Anything negative you

catch yourself saying or beginning to say, whether

towards yourself or someone else doesn't matter.

Start noticing how often you're feeding yourself

negative energy. Then, apply the STOP technique as

soon as you realize you are doing it, you yell (to

yourself) STOP, and immediately replace what you

were saying with something else. Here's what I

mean:

"I hate having to wash the ... STOP ... it's nice

getting a chance to stretch and bend while the car

gets cleaned."

Yes, it's stiff and forced, at first. Anytime you

attempt to change a behavior it will feel forced.

Just allow yourself to learn to change your self

talk, and that early discomfort with the process

will pass. It will start to be fun to "catch"

yourself. As soon as you start doing it, you'll

realize how often you're been feeding yourself

negativity, and you'll also see how easily you can

change that habit.

Positive people tend to be happier people. I'm not

suggesting you get a personality change, but I am

suggesting, if you ultimately want to drop some

weight and never see it again that you change your

thinking from how much you'll have to struggle to

how much better you're going to feel.
