Did you ever finish something only to be told by somebody, that there is still work to do? Sometimes we put in a lot of work, but stop short before the finish line- the line when it comes to getting things to a point, where they really can bear fruit.

You’ve probably heard it a lot: Visualization is an important component to achieve anything in life – including permanent weight loss. I’ll go into the details of visualization in another article; here I’d like to point out the mechanism that will transform your visualization into results.

If you want to lose weight permanently, you need to put things out into the real world. Having images in your head, is just the first step.

So here’s what you do to make your visualizations are really effective:

1. Visualize yourself achieving your goal. Know your dream weight! Visualize yourself having that dream weight. And then, take that dream weight into the future. See the world changing around you with your new, permanent weight. And: See yourself as an independent observer would see you.
2. Put you visualization into concrete, specific words. Use the perspective of an independent observer observing you having lost weight permanently: If another person would see you with your new weight, and keeping it off permanently, how would they describe you?
3. Commit it to paper. Writing things down makes them even more concrete. You might start a “Lose Weight Permanently Diary” what will help you even more with losing weight long-term.
