I don't agree with you ALG. Not about that losing weight thing. I wanted to lose weight, ate less and exercised more, and did not lose weight at all. Then I intended it and now I eat more and exercise less and lose weight
I ate very healthy and less than before, trained cardio and lifting weights three times a week, did everything my personal trainer was telling me... and I did not only gain weight because of gaining muscle mass, no, my fat ratio increased too. Then I canceled the gym, ate what I wanted and threw away the health and weight loss books. I sat down every evening, put myself in an alpha state, and visualized myself thin and light in all details, running up the stairs and dancing around as a slim person. First I couldn't imagine it. That's the point: I felt fat and if you feel fat, you attract more fat. You have to feel thin first, then you become thin. It took me ten days to be able to feel like a thin person and see myself as a thin person. Then I visualized it for seven days in a row and let it go. A few months nothing happened. But now I'm losing weight without doing anything
So I see it just the other way around. Eating less and exercising more may work, but you are definitely stacking the odds against yourself. The point is, as long as you feel fat, losing weight is very difficult. I don't say it's impossible, but it's permanent control, hard work and frustrating. You're permanently working against what you attract by feeling fat. In that time I was exercising at the gym and eating less, I did focus on my wish to lose weight, that means, on my fat, and so it was pretty useless. Of course, if you already feel thin, exercise more and eat less if you want, it will happen even faster. But first of all use the LoA and forget about your fat.
