Affirmations for a Positive Weight Loss Mindset

Affirmations encourage self-change when you use them. They act as reminders and 
inspiration to help you focus on your weight loss goals during your day. The most 
significant benefit gained from using affirmations is that they focus attention on your 
goals and promote positive thoughts through a considerable change in your life. 


Finding Your Weight Loss Affirmations 
 
When you look for a weight loss affirmation, seek out a positive statement about your 
weight loss process. Always use first person tense when creating a powerful affirmation. 
Also, apply the statement directly to you and your situation. It should be full of positive, 
emotional comments about your weight loss and your body. 

A strong connection exists between mind-body experiences and words of emotion. So, 
instead of saying, “I only eat healthy food,” try saying something like “I feel much 
healthier and happier when I eat healthy food. Weight loss affirmations should also be 
written in the present tense. Even though you don’t feel a certain way about your weight 
loss yet, you speak towards a goal.
