Music for the entire family seems to me is the thing of the past. I cannot even watch MTV music videos when my little 3 year old is around. There are simply too much ’sex’ in music these days.

20-30 years ago, I believe the entire family could sit in front of the tv, young and old, and enjoy good clean music.

There was a point in my life as a teenager, I simply didn’t notice that I had gained so much of weight. I was slightly less than 5′ 4 but weighted nearly 70 kgs (about 154 lbs). That is way above the normal weight range.

Regardless of what ever I did, although I didn’t gain more, I just couldn’t get my weight down. Those days it wasn’t as easy to get safe diet pills like Phenphedrine, lipovox, anoretix, etc, like nowadays.

So I started to do a little  mind work. Affirmation and visualisation. My main affirmation is , “I am not hungry”. So that I don’t feel like eating. I’ve read some articles regarding this affirmation. They say that due to the word ‘hungry’ in it, some people may even gain more because their mind tend to focus more on that word and they do become hungry all the time. But to each his own. It worked for me. Years later I am still using the affirmation and I am at my lowest weight. I’m about 50 kgs now (110 lbs) at 5′ 4.

There are people who said that affirmation does not work on them. Perhaps they just haven’t found the right affirmation for themselves.

Here are a few affirmations that you may try for weight lost.

I’m losing weight now.
I love the feeling of making progress.
I love the food that makes me thin.
Losing weight is effortless.
I am going to fit into the next size smaller any minute.
I enjoy being healthy.
I feel so thin inside, my outer is just about to catch up.
Everyday, I’m becoming healthier and slimmer.

In addition to the affirmations, visualize yourself in the body that you want o be. Be realistic though. When you visualize, think that getting that body you want is not hard, and feel how happy you are at the thought.

One method may work for one, may not work for another. It all depends on you.
