I recall reading something on your blog re. thinking like a thin person and thought it was really interesting. Kind of inline with your wealth programme except with weight. Have wanted to ask someone with a weight problem what they think/feel when they are eating something good and creamy, but felt uncomfortable.
Btw. Congrats on the weight loss. |
Yes, I do this almost naturally all the time nowadays, but here are some specifics I can provide.
In front of my face, when I run on my treadmill I started a vision board. On there right now I have a picture of the new James Bond guy (name escapes me now) where he's walking on the beach with his big muscles. He looks like he's in his 40's or 50's in the picture and I want myself to look like that when I'm in my 40's and 50's playing with my kids, not like the typical overweight, belly over the belt 40 year old dad. I also have a picture of Brad Pitt from fightclub where he was super cut, and also another picture of Justin Timberlake from the movie "Alpha Dog" where he's got his shirt off and he's totally cut, 6 pack abs, nice pecs etc. When my wife saw the pictures there she laughed and said "You should pull those off, people are going to think you're gay having a picture of Justin Timberlake on the wall." to which I replied "Pffft...I don't give a f*#& what people think. I'm not ashamed to say I want a body like his."
Also, launching my blog allows me to leverage my plan. My friends know about my blog, my co-workers know about it etc. They all go there every day or two to see if I've fallen off my plan. Secretly they all want me to fail so that they can have an excuse not to start their plan. The ones who are healthy cheer me on. THe ones who are lazy, sit quietly and wait, getting more and more uncomfortable every day. It helps to drive me knowing that people are watching my blog.
Also you guys on here help to drive me as well. Which is why I post on here. Blogging your weight loss is an awesome leveraging tool.
Short answer to your question. Yes, definitely use visualization.
