Weight watcher
Physical weight is very important as an indicator of many health related issues. If you ask one hundred people how they feel about their weight, you will get a lot of negative self-talk answers and not much satisfaction. We live all the time in our own bodies but don’t feel great about it some of the time. When you lose weight, you get positive reactions from others. The reaction you need to listen to is your own.
Mental weight
The average brain weighs about three pounds. This is where real weight control occurs. Your body may fluctuate up and down a few pounds on a daily basis even when you don’t try to change it. When you actively try to gain or lose physical weight, that number you see on the scale becomes your grade. Your thoughts about that number can affect you if you let them. Think about it, if they change so easily, can they really be trusted?
Mental hunger
I don’t make a habit of getting to the point where I am hungry often enough and that may decrease my enjoyment of my next meal. But I am overcoming that habit by delaying the start of a meal until after I check with my brain. I know it needs certain resources to keep me sharp but it may not need cookies. We talk about it. Our conversations have become much clearer over time.
Wait for weight
Words that sound alike but mean totally different things often can be combined for effect. Waiting to eat if I am already still satisfied from my last meal may reduce my weight. Wait reduces weight. My mental weight also decreases because the after effects of eating too much too soon don’t pop up in my brain. Weight reduction on multiple levels has less to do with calories than with thought. Once I really understood that idea, my thoughts transformed my body weight. I don’t mind waiting for weight; it’s polite to be patient with friends. The thoughts you have about your weight may influence your ability to adjust your physical body more than you think. Pause before eating to see if you really need to eat and check out your thoughts on mentally waiting. Then, repeat that over and over and see what happens.
Can you wait for your weight? Can you be patient with your thoughts to understand what you are saying to yourself before you eat? Are you mentally hungry?
