Do You Feel Like You Can't Lose Weight?

The problem may be in your subconscious mind.

The mind is a powerful tool. Most of us go through life never learning how to use this tool to our advantage and get anything we desire. Up until recently I was in that most of us group. Then I began to learn how the mind works and how to use that to my advantage.

You see your mind is divided into two sections. The one you are aware of is the conscious mind, the one you are not aware of, but is always working, is the subconscious mind. The subconscious mind is telling your lungs to breath, and your heart to pump etc. That is not all it does. It contains a lot more programming. That programming has a huge affect on what you think of yourselves and your automatic responses.

Let's take a deeper look into the difference between your conscious and your subconscious mind. Your conscious mind is what you use to reason. If someone tells you something like the world is flat, you would most likely say they were wrong.

That is because you have the ability to think and reason. You can accept or reject what you are told because of your conscious mind. If someone tells you something about yourself that is not true, you can ignore it and go on. Your subconscious mind contains ideas, and beliefs that you don't question. Why does this happen?

Let's go back to the beginning. When you were born you only had a subconscious mind. You were on auto pilot. As you begin to grow you learned to understand language. Everything you were told you believed. Slowly your conscious mind began to form and you began to reason.

After you learned your colors maybe someone told you the sky was green, and you said that they were wrong, the sky was blue. You were learning to reason. Somewhere around the age of 8 your conscious brain was completely formed. Until that happened, everything you were told about yourself and the world around you went into your subconscious mind, wrong or right. It will stay there until you choose to replace it with different information.

Wrong information in your subconscious mind may be the reason why you feel like you can't lose weight. That means it is time to reprogram. The first step is to be willing to reprogram your subconscious. The second is to believe you can. The third step is to take action. Begin your reprogramming by paying attention to your thoughts about weight loss. Then write down the thoughts you would like to have. For example, losing weight is easy. Or, I enjoy eating foods that are healthy for my body and they help me weigh ________.
Fill in the blank with your desired weight. Make sure what you write down has only words reflecting what you want. Avoid writing anything that you don't want. Writing your affirmations is your first step to losing weight and replacing that feel like you can't lose weight mind set.

Are you tired of feeling like you can't lose weight? Remember the three steps. 1. Reprogram your mind. 2. Believe in yourself. 3. Take action [http://www.stripthatfatmamasway.com]!
