For most of my life, particularly my fat life,
I would wake and find myself stuck in a body I hated.
A quick scan of the fat would overwhelm me with feelings of guilt and hopelessness at the thought of trying to get rid of it – not a good way to start the day!
Then one day, with the help of my trainer, I decided to think differently.
I decided to catch the negative thoughts before they happened and challenge them.
When I hit my plateau, my trainer told me to try and connect with the body I was creating. She said it was already there, hidden under the fat and that one day the velvet curtain would be raised and my new body would be revealed.
It was incredibly powerful to be told that the body I wanted was already there and not separate from me.
So, instead of running my hands over the fat I wanted to be rid of, I learned to close my eyes and visualise the powerful, curvy, sexy, sensual body inside me. After all it was mine already. I imagined the fat was little balls of cotton wool and that I was like a doll in a jar packed with cotton balls. Then every time I exercised and ate well I imagined myself physically removing one of the cotton wool balls.
It’s taken a while, but now I automatically have positive thoughts about the potential I carry in my body. I know I have the potential to be as healthy and fit as I choose to be.
So, in the mornings, try spending an extra three minutes in bed actively visualising your fit, healthy, strong, sexy body and remember that it is just waiting to be released from all that cotton wool!
What’s Inside You?
Okay I may be the only person who has thought this way and if so then please excuse..but on the off chance that someone may think this then bear with me.
For most of my life, particularly my fat one but not exclusively, I would wake and find myself once again in a body I hated. One of my first waking thoughts was to do a quick scan of the fat and feel guilt and hopelessness at the struggle of getting rid of it.
Then one day I decided to think differently. I would catch that thought out and then challenge it.
When I hit the plateau and was working out for weeks on end not "losing" any weight Crusher told me to connect with the body I was creating, that is WAS there already, hidden under the fat and one day like a velvet curtain the body would be revealed.
That was pretty powerful. The body was not something separate from me it was there already.
Well, on waking I started to imagine that instead of the negative thought. Instead of running my hands over the fat I wanted to be rid off I closed my eyes and visualised that powerful, curvy, sexy, sensual body inside me. It was mine already.
Then I imagined the fat as little balls of cotton wool. Like a doll in a jar packed in with cotton balls.
Then every time I ate well or turned down rubbish food I didn't need I no longer viewed it as missing out I saw it as physically removing one cotton ball at a time. One little round balls of fat. Then I would visualise the food as little ball of fat that would end up back in the jar if I chose it.
It took a while but eventually on waking I started having automatic good thoughts about the potential I carry in my body. The potential to be as healthy and fit as I choose to be.
So girls, this week on waking spend three extra minutes in bed actively visualising that fit, healthy, strong, sexy body waiting to be unearthed from the cotton wool.
