I am sure that your immediate response to the title of this article was “I do want to lose weight or of course I want to lose weight” and I am sure that deep down inside that is the case. But it is possible you have not succeeded in using the law of attraction to create your ideal body because of one simple mistake.

It is common knowledge that the universe does not respond to words of negation such as ‘don’t, not and no. But it is my experience that we often forget that little fact during our daily lives. Somewhere in the back of our minds we forget that our words are creative and what we think about we bring about.

Yet it is still challenging to keep this in mind when we are looking at our bodies and not seeing what we want to see. In fact we often sabotage our chances of successfully using the law of attraction for weight loss by forgetting this one little fact.

So when you are poking at your body saying ‘I don’t want to be fat’ or ‘I don’t want to be a size 20 anymore’ or ‘I’m not eating junk food anymore’ or ‘I’m not going to be overweight after this year’ you are creating a situation where you attract exactly what you said you do not want.

For instance the statement ‘I’m not eating junk food anymore’ in the realm of the universe becomes ‘I’m eating junk food’, and the words ‘I don’t want to be fat’ become ‘I want to be fat’.

It is important to become mindful of the words that you use on a daily basis, it is not enough to get up in the morning and visualize your goal and then spend the rest of the day telling people what you don’t want.

Aside from the metaphysical aspect of how the universe perceives our words thoughts and vibration there is also the human aspect of ‘I don’t’. If I walked up to a group of people sitting at a table and placed a platter with a large selection of cakes and cookies on it, in the middle of the table along with some napkins and walked away, what do you think would happen?

Some people would take a napkin and help themselves and some would not.

Now imagine that I do exactly the same thing again but before walking away I tell everyone on the table very sternly, DO NOT eat anything from the platter. What do you think would happen then?

I’ll tell you…

Every single person on the table would want something off the platter.

It is human nature! When we have a choice we are happy that we can do what ever we like. But when our choice is taken away we become annoyed, agitated and suddenly we desperately want to do the thing that we have been told not to do.

When we have choice we can say yes or no and be totally happy with whatever we decide. Without choice our focus settles on what ever it is we cannot have and that thing consumes all of our attention.

If you are walking around saying ‘I’m not eating junk food’ guess what happens? That’s right, all of sudden you cannot stop thinking about junk food because you have lost the ability to choose whether to have it or not.

So what is the alternative?

Speak only of what you do want and speak those words as though you have already created what you want. It should be your intention to hold yourself in the position of having already manifested your desires.

For instance; instead of saying ‘I don’t want to be a size 20 anymore’ say, ‘I am a size 10 now’. Instead of ‘I don’t want to be fat’ say, ‘I am sexy and slim’.

I know at first it will feel like a lie and part of your brain will say, ‘oh come on, you know that’s not true’. But persistence is key here. You cannot change a bad habit over night because you did not form it over night. You did not wake up one morning fat, it happened gradually over time.

Therefore changing your thinking patterns is going to take some time too. How much depends upon your commitment to form a new habit. Scientists say it takes approximately 21 days to form a new habit.

So why not conduct an experiment. During my weight loss journey I conducted a positive thinking 30 day challenge where I challenged myself to speak my positively to and about myself for 30 days. The out come of that challenge was that I formed a new positive habit, I started losing weight and began writing a Law of Attraction for Weight Loss Book which is now available online and will soon be available offline also.

So here’s the challenge, I challenge you for the next 21 consecutive days to remove the words. ‘I don’t, I can’t, I’m not and I won’t from your vocabulary. Now there is no need to go over board, just apply this task to what ever it is you want to manifest in your life.

If you want to be a size 12, stop saying ‘I don’t want to be a size 20’ and start saying ‘I want to be a size 12 instead. When ever you catch your self saying or thinking something negative in terms of your weight, stop and correct yourself and change the statement.

I would love to hear all about your experiences so be sure to come back and share your story with us.


Peace be yours
