What is healthy weight loss?

Healthy weight loss is about losing weight in a way that is healthy and sustainable. Diets are not sustainable. Diet pills are not sustainable or healthy for us. “Healthy” means making changes to your diet and lifestyle that you can stick with over the long haul. It’s important to find a way of eating and exercise that works for you, and to be patient as you make changes.

There is no one weight or body size that is healthy. “Healthy” looks different for every person. The most important thing is to focus on how you feel in your body, not on a number on the scale.

How Can Mindset Help You Lose Weight?

Your mindset is essential to your ability to lose weight. When you tell yourself “This is fruitless. I’m never going to be able to keep the weight off,” we’re setting ourselves up for failure. Our bodies become exactly what we’re telling it.

So when you use positive (or neutral) self talk, you’re setting yourself up for success. “I can do this. It might be hard, but I’m capable.” This is the kind of mindset that will help you succeed in losing weight.

Radical Body Acceptance and Body Neutrality

Part of a healthy mindset means radical body acceptance. Body acceptance is all about accepting your body exactly as it is, right now. It’s about recognizing that your worth is not tied to your weight or your dress size. Body neutrality is about moving away from thinking about our bodies all the time. It’s about recognizing that our bodies are just one part of who we are, and that we are so much more than our physical appearance.

When we can learn to accept and be neutral towards our bodies, it takes away the power that society has given to appearances. We no longer strive to look a certain way because we are told that is what is attractive or what is valuable.

Focus on Your Health Instead

Instead, we focus on taking care of our bodies. What ways could weight loss benefit your life? Maybe you’d love to start horse-back riding again, or go hiking, or keep up with your kids or grandkids.

Perhaps you suffer from terrible heartburn and eating right could manage your symptoms. Maybe your joints are aching under the pressure of your current body weight and you’d have less pain if your BMI was lower.

Jonathan Van Ness recently lost some weight with the help of a nutritionist, and their reasons and mindset for taking on that challenge were an inspiration to all. (Check out the story here.)

How Can Affirmations Help You Lose Weight?

Affirmations are positive statements that we say to ourselves to program our minds for success. When we tell ourselves “I am enough,” we are tapping into our inner power and strength. We are reminding ourselves that we are worthy and deserving of love and respect, no matter what our weight is.

Remember, if you can’t believe the affirmations you’re saying, they won’t work. So one trick (as I learned from Marisa Peer) is to tell yourself “I am choosing…” For example, “I am choosing to love my body as it is.” “I am choosing to be patient with my progress.”

This trick will really help you settle into a more comfortable place with those affirmations and really BELIEVE what you’re saying!
