My Top 23 Affirmations to Help You Let Go of Extra Weight

Do you still look in the mirror and tell yourself one of these statements?

“I’m too fat!”
“I’d look good only if my (thighs, butt, arms, tummy) were thinner.”
“I can’t feel good about how I look until I lose weight.”

What’s your version of the above? How long have you been telling yourself this?

It’s time to stop.

Your body’s God-given, natural design is to be fit and healthy. I have not always been fit and healthy! In fact, in high school I had an eating disorder that caused additional low self-confidence due to daily self-shaming.

This pattern followed me into adulthood. I spent too many years believing I was too fat, that my legs were too thick, and my body was not good enough.

I ended this about 10 years ago once and for all.

I know how to help you get the answers you’re looking for, because I have had to create those answers myself!

Change your self-talk.

One thing that helped me was to stop shaming myself on a regular basis and to start believing in myself and my body. I taught my mind to see myself differently, to send messages of love rather than shame, and believe in the fact that yes, I could be fit and healthy.

The following are some of my favorite affirmations that helped me turn this pattern around. Now you can use them to empower your body. These affirmations will open up your body’s ability to achieve the state of fitness and health with less effort.

To give even more power to these statements, tap on your solar plexus (between your breasts) while you repeat them in your thoughts or out loud.
