I've lost 50lbs so far (about 30-ish left to go) purely through affirmations alone, and I couldn't agree more about not weighing yourself while manifesting weightloss, because I came to similar conclusions myself. I struggled with it at the beginning because I was trying to convince myself I was losing weight through affirming, yet felt disappointed every time I saw the scale go up or remain stagnant whenever I'd weigh myself throughout the week. However, one month I decided to go full in on it after watching a video on physical appearance changes by Sammy Ingram, and I weighed myself once at the beginning of the month and once at the end. Mind you, I'd had a lifelong struggle with weightloss, and internalized the belief that it was hard or that it would take years of consistent discipline. I'd weighed 187.5lbs for YEARS, despite dieting and exercising for 3-4 month stretches in the past. So that was my start weight. I affirmed any time I was stressed about my weight, and that usually occurred any time that I was eating (especially if I was binging). But I affirmed anyway, until I felt better, and then mostly forgot about it any time between meals. I ate an insane amount of take-out and fast food during this month too, at least 2-3× what I'd normally eat. After a while, I could tell my affirmations had sunk into my subconscious, because I worried less and less throughout the course of this month. My affirmations were that I "lose weight every time that I blink/breathe/eat" and "I lose weight no matter what I eat." Super simple. At the end of the month, I weighed myself, and to my absolute shock I'd lost 20lbs. 😅 In a month?!? That's practically unheard of without starving or fasting oneself, iykyk! Zero dieting, zero exercise, zero effort outside of affirming casually. Since then, it's become a solid assumption of mine, and quite honestly it's THE most solid assumption I have. I never thought I'd say something like that tbh!! Now, I rarely ever affirm for weightloss, yet I steadily continue to lose. Once I hit one goal weight, I mentally set the intention that -10lbs from that weight is my next goal weight, and I'm there within 2-3wks max. I'm so close to my goal weight that I can practically taste it. 😏😌
