Are you overweight because you overeat or do you overeat because you think your overweight?

If we think that we are skinny will we overeat? Maybe, but chances are probably not. If we think we are fat will we overeat? From my experiences of being overweight the fatter I felt the more I wanted to eat! :) And, then I would feel shameful, guilty and depressed which only made me feel even more fat and upset and round and round the cycle went. And, I was always working at changing my behavior. If I only I could stop overeating.

But, it isn’t the action of overeating that we need to change. It is our mind. If we transform our minds and our thoughts about who we are, our actions will line up and be consistent with who we believe ourselves to be!

If I believe that I am always struggling with my body and my weight then that is the reality that I will create everyday, month, year! :) But if I believe that I am beautiful, lean, healthy and look like I just stepped out of a photo shoot that is what I will be! What we think about creates images in our mind and that is who we become! So, we need to be constantly appreciating the good in ourselves and increasing our self-image so that it reflects who we want to be.

And I, write about this as someone who has struggled with her weight, body image and food!! It has been an amazing transformation and quite a journey that was really challenging for me. I feel like I have found freedom in my body. And, I know that it has come through changing my thoughts about myself, food and my body! I also know that this is only the beginning…there is so much more to explore and experience!

So, there ya go today’s goodness is change the way that we think about ourselves. Start affirming who we want to be and who we truly are, which is magnificent and fabulous! And, then watch our actions line up with that greatness! :) Let’s have fun becoming the person we have always wanted to become!

We are who we think we are and remember anything is possible! :)
