Justina's Story..:
I've been practicing The Secret as you all know....I'd like to share the how I changed my mind about my body.
I've been practicing The Secret as you all know....I'd like to share the how I changed my mind about my body.
I realized that when I looked at myself in the mirror, my eyes went straight to my fat here,.. my pimple there.. my hair looked terrible etc..., and on and on. I had been refusing to buy the size of jeans I needed for a couple years.. now because I was going to go buy ALL new clothes for myself... as soon as I got to the size I WANTED to be.
Anyway, enough of that... After learning to pay more attention to my thoughts, I thought about what I intended to do Right now, instead of tomorrow.
I cleaned out my closet. (I kept a couple of my favorite (when I get skinny) clothes, but tucked them way in the back, hiding them from myself!).

I went out shopping for new clothes, in MY size. If this is me, this is what I got to work with, I better start decorating it!
I stood and looked in the mirror for a while... This was hard,.. I cried.. until.. I smiled. I found the things that I like about my body... I like the curve in my calve I like to look in my own eyes... I like my neck... I found just a couple things and I started concentrating on them. from this point on I
looked at these things and complimented myself on them... Slowly and with a lot of times catching myself in the middle of a train of criticisms,.. my body started changing.
I noticed little things at first... I started enjoying looking at more and more parts of my body. Honestly, I don't remember ever looking at myself in the mirror before. I have always looked at parts of my body 1 at a time (always the bad parts..) when I looked. I saw my hair,.. then that zit, complaint by complaint.
It was only 1 month before the clothes I had bought were loose...
Story.. after.. story.., exchanging.. habits for habits.
Small.. changes, little habits I have changed, have snowballed.. into an amazing love.

If you wish to lose weight, then the most important thing—more than anything else—is to be in joy and to be happy.. now, despite your weight. If you can be in joy now, to the point where you feel so good that the weight doesn't matter so much anymore, then it will fall away... The only thing keeping the weight there is your resistance to it, and when you are in joy you will let go of your resistance about your weight.

If you feel bad about your body, that is a powerful feeling, and you will continue to attract feeling bad about your body. You will never change your body if you are critical of it and find fault with it, and in fact you will attract more weight to you. Praise and bless every square inch of your body. Think about all the perfect things about You. As you think perfect thoughts, as you feel good about You, you are on the frequency of your perfect weight, and you are summoning perfection.
