I love this idea. When I first changed the way I eat, I kept affirmations around all the time. I printed them out and stashed them in places where'd I'd find them and say them to myself. Like Mahler's Power of Word MMMM this week, repeating positive words that you believe can keep your mind in the right place for continued success.
Here are a few of the affirmations I used. I think you have to pick the ones that ring true for you individually and that might be different from mine, but I wanted to share.
Nothing tastes as good as being lean feels.
I am responsible for what goes into my mouth.
I love having a toned and fit body.
My body is my oldest and steadiest companion.
I look and feel fabulous.
I am accomplishing more than ever before.
Whatever comes my way today, I’ll handle it.
I am responsible for my life and always maintain the power I need to be positive and have joy.
I am surrounded and supported by many friends.
I embrace life fully.
I feel loved every moment.
I am healthy.
I am happy.
I take charge of my life.
I am in control of my health and wellness.
I have abundant energy, vitality and well-being.
I am healthy in all aspects of my being.
I am too precious to put contaminated food in my body.
I am filled with energy to do all the daily activities in my life.
I love and care for my body and it cares for me.
