Let's look at using the Creative Process for those who feel they are overweight and who want to lose weight.

The first thing to know is that if you focus on losing weight, you will attract back having to lose more weight, so get "having to lose weight" out of your mind. It's the very reason why diets don't work. Because you are focused on losing weight, you must attract back continually having to lose weight.

The second thing to know is that the condition of being overweight was created through your thought to it. To put it in the most basic terms, if someone is overweight, it came from thinking "fat thoughts," whether that person was aware of it or not. A person cannot think "thin thoughts" and be fat. It completely defies the law of attraction.

Whether people have been told they have a slow thyroid, a slow metabolism, or their body size is hereditary, these are all disguises for thinking "fat thoughts." If you accept any of those conditions as applicable to you, and you believe it, it must become your experience, and you will continue to attract being overweight.

After I had my two daughters I was overweight, and I know it came from listening to and reading the messages that it is hard to lose weight after having a baby, and even harder after the second baby. I summoned exactly that to me with those "fat thoughts," and it became my experience. I really "beefed up," and the more I noticed how I had "beefed up," the more "beefing up" I attracted. With a small frame, I became a hefty 143 pounds, all because I was thinking "fat thoughts."

The most common thought that people hold, and I held it too, is that food was responsible for my weight gain. That is a belief that does not serve you, and in my mind now it is complete balderdash! Food is not responsible for putting on weight. It is your thought that food is responsible for putting on weight that actually has food put on weight. Remember, thoughts are primary cause of everything, and the rest is effects from those thoughts. Think perfect thoughts and the result must be perfect weight.

    I have started a treadmill workout where I use the timing of my steps to keep my focus on a mantra I say over and over in my head. Sometimes it's... I am on the road to thin, I am, I am... and I won't quit until I win.. I am I am I am I am. Over and over... Somethines it's Christina Agulara's "You are beautiful, in everything you do... words can't put you down" ... it can be anything but the thing I find most interesting is... I sometimes close my eyes to repeat these and I hold on to the handles which will read your heart rate and when I open my eyes... the reading is 180, sometimes 190, I have even had it reach 220 and more. As soon as I am focused on the numbers they decline rapidly. I don't understand this and I even asked my husband to look and we are both puzzled by this. Does this have anything to do with the energy that I am emitting when meditating like this, I have this happen every time I get on my treadmill now and start my mantra and not look at the digital readout of my pulse rate. Also, I so enjoy the walk now I walk for 1 hr twice a day, because... I am on the road to thin I am, I am.
