Engaging NLP for Weight Loss
So how is weight loss a motivating
goal? We don’t like losing things and we want to get them back
where they belong, with us. It’s an uncomfortable feeling when
we’ve lost something, we don’t feel good and we spend all our
time and focus on that thing we’ve lost, wondering about it, where
it is, where we had it last and so on. Our thoughts are in the past
and so they are with weight loss; often we think about what happened
last time we ‘tried’ to lose weight. Clearly unsuccessfully
because that’s why we are back thinking about it again.
If you always do what you’ve always
done, you will always get what you’ve always got so how about
thinking differently. Let’s focus on what we want and aim for that.

Look up to your left and think about how you looked last week. Imagine seeing yourself, how you looked, what you were wearing, who you were with, what you were doing. Can you picture it? You are gathering remembered images from the past (see the diagram below).

Look up to your left and think about how you looked last week. Imagine seeing yourself, how you looked, what you were wearing, who you were with, what you were doing. Can you picture it? You are gathering remembered images from the past (see the diagram below).
Now look up to the right and think about how you’d like to look , what would you like to be wearing, where would you like to be, with whom? These are your constructed images. If you are left handed these might be the other way around. You can construct the images just as you wish so make yourself look as you’ll look when you’ve lost that weight. Perhaps you’ve got a special event coming up, a wedding or a christening, a party, a holiday and you have an idea of the clothes you’d like to wear for it. Look up and to the right and picture yourself in those clothes. You may want to imagine the clothes size you will be when you’ve lost weight. Can you see the label on the clothes, or on the hanger? What size does it say?
You may want to focus on the scales. I know that was my motivation. So remember what horrible numbers showed on the scales in the past or even yesterday, then look up to the right and imagine what numbers you want to see there instead.
Some of us have a very strong internal dialogue going on in our head such as:
Look to tell the annoying internal dialogue to be quiet. Tell it what you do want to do instead.
If you’re a fidgety kinaesthetic you’ll be more conscious of how you feel. You’ll be more conscious than most people about the tightness of your clothes and feelings of sluggishness.
Look down and to the right to imagine how much more energy you’ll have and how great it will be for your clothes to feel loose when you have lost weight.
Using eye accessing cues like this is a great way for you to be in touch with your body and keep that connection going between body and brain. Use this as part of your new weight loss programme and ‘future pace’ your day by imagining how well you will eat, what exercise you will do, how you will feel and how great it is to be on the path towards a healthy happy life style.
