Ideal weight mindset exercise – Letters to your body

One of the mindset exercises that I recommend in the 30-Day Weight Loss Mindset Challenge is to write a letter to your body.   You can read my letter to my slim and healthy body below.  I wrote this right at the beginning of my own weight loss journey and then a further letter I wrote a few months later.

This is a super powerful exercise to build a positive and supportive relationship with your body.

At the end of this post, I’ve included a lovely guided visualization to further help you on a successful weight loss journey. Plus information about how to get more support from me.

Here’s my first letter…

DEAR BODY,

I’m writing to you to let you know that I’ve made a decision to lose weight, I’m sorry for allowing myself to put on all of this weight. I’m sorry that I’ve neglected you so much over the past 13 years (and more). I know that you’re pretty awesome and I know exactly what I need to be slim and healthy, buy what I forgot to do was listen to you. Instead, I ate to make myself feel better, to stop myself from being bored, from being sad and lonely. I’ve been eating to fill an emotional gap, because the food was there. Then it just became a mindless habit. To top it all, I didn’t move my body which I know you need much more of.  I’m sorry. I’m going to do my best now to listen to what you need.

Most of all I’m so sorry for all the horrible things I said about you. I do know how amazing you are.

Now, I’d like to ask for your help in losing this excess weight. I know that I’m supposed to be naturally slim and healthy.

I want to be slim and healthy, eat a healthy diet based on listening to you, my body and get lots of natural exercise.

I intend to say nice things about you, my body now to cherish you and love you starting right now, right this very second.

I also want you to know that it’s safe to let go of this excess weight now, Life is good and it’s a good thing to go back to my natural slim an dhealthy state.

Thank you body for the amazing things you do every second of every day without me needing to ask you.

Lots of love, Wendy xx

This was an important letter, that served to clear out the old and allow for new positive changes.

Weight loss mindset progress – Letter number 2

Today I want to share another letter I wrote to my body about 6 months later. It’s about what I feel is a positive and natural weight loss journey.

Dear body,

I want to say thank you for supporting me and helping me on this weight loss journey.  I know you’re feeling better now as we lose this excess weight and become fitter and healthier.

I know I still eat a few too many chocolate bars, I hope you’re okay with that as I’m making a big effort to also feed you lovely nourishing foods and drink lots of water.

I hope you’re enjoying our walks and some of my crazy exercise routines 🙂

I love that you’re slimming down now and looking more and more toned.

My clothes are feeling even looser and my black trousers especially are going to have to go in the charity bag soon.

I’m looking forward to having new smaller sized clothes to wear.

Please know It’s a good journey and a wonderful journey.

Thanks you for being awesome.  I love you.

Wendy xx

These letters continue to play an important part in my own weight loss journey.  I hope that by sharing a couple of my letters it helps you on your weight loss journey.
