Three Ways to Help Your Kids Lose Weight – The Simple and Successful Way

From Debbie A. Johnson

The link between childhood obesity and poor learning …

No one can watch their kids 24/7. So even with the (supposedly) perfect diet plan, It’s impossible to know what your kids are eating, what their friends are slipping them at school, or even treats they may get from a well-intended school volunteer or sitter. What’s the solution?

1. Make sure your kids know they you love them no matter what. This is the most important part, so take it to heart, please, and express that love at every opportunity.

2. Announce that the whole family is going to have a fun “imagination” night together where everyone gets to make a collage out of magazine pictures about what they want, who they want to be, goals, dreams, wishes or plans.

3. Ask who wants to share their dream and help each other accomplish it. If anyone does not want to do that, have another special “planning party” with just those who do. At that new time, help each person come up with a (see note below for rules for the subconscious) positive phrase that they can tell themselves, and that you can tell each other, too, whenever you see them in private, without others listening. For example: Mom gets up and sees Tracy who says she wants to lose weight, has come up with the phrase, “I feel a little bit thinner today.” And Mom says to Tracy, “You look a little bit thinner today, Tracy!” Then Mom says her phrase, for example, “I feel a little bit richer today.” And Tracy says back to Mom, “You look a little bit richer today, Mom!”

Each person also says the phrase they want to accomplish just before sleep and just upon awakening. See rules below.

Rules for phrases to outsmart the subconscious mind:

A. It needs to be completely positive. In other words, no negatives words that you want to avoid programming into your subconscious mind. For example, instead of saying, “I’m losing weight”, you would say, “I’m getting slimmer.” Why? Because the subconscious thinks in images, and whatever image even one word creates, like the word “weight”, the subconscious will program its creation! Scary thought, isn’t it? So, in order to avoid that, find the positive opposite, and what you really want.

B. It’s best to be relaxed before doing this for yourself, so just as you are falling asleep or waking up is the best time to “fly under the radar” of the conscious mind who may believe this method can’t work.

C. In order to convince your conscious mind this works, look up studies that have proven positive imaging works to heal and even get thinner! (Notice I didn’t say “lose weight”).

D. Enjoy yourself and make it a game. Being too intense about anything chases it away. The subconscious responds well to emotion. So fuel your fire with positive feelings about your new self.

Happy Dream Hunting!
