I found these videos on YouTube, and thought anyone who is struggling with Weight Loss might be interested too. There were some others from people that had lost weight and went on and on . . . I didn’t include those here because they were pretty long but if you are interested you can find them pretty easily! I picked these two videos because I love EFT for its simplicity and effectiveness, and I think affirmations can be very helpful in focusing your thoughts.

I struggled with my weight for a good part of my life. While attending boarding school for a year in high school (my family was living overseas), I gained somewhere between 40 and 50 pounds. I hated the way I looked, and thought about it every day of my life for YEARS after that. I was the classic yo-yo, losing and gaining. While it always felt so good to lose it, and I never thought I would keep it off – and I was right (doh!).

My self-esteem was pretty low. Regardless of how many achievements I made or friends that I had, I felt fat all of the time.

Then, after a series of life changes – moving, getting a different job, becoming interested in lots of things OUTSIDE of myself, I suddenly realized that I had been losing weight without even knowing it! I didn’t consciously change my eating patterns (although looking back I can see that I made better choices) or work at it – and I also realized that I hadn’t thought about being fat for months!

I believe it was a result of taking my focus OFF of being fat that allowed me to lose the extra weight. And that was well over 10 years ago now. I do put on a few extra pounds from time to time, but they never stay for very long. My sister made me a scrapbook for my birthday, and I was astounded by how I looked in a lot of the pictures – that just COULDN’T be me!! I realized that my whole mental picture of myself had changed, and I thought of myself as someone who had always been fit and trim.

And that was a really empowering change. I had not heard of the term Law of Attraction at the time, but I am positive that it was the force behind my transformation.
