Before reading the list below, you should know that affirmations are most successful when you internalize the saying and repeat it frequently. Whether you’re having a good or bad day, you need to be constantly repeating these positive statements in your mind. Temptation will strike when you least expect it, so it’s better to be prepared!

  3. I am losing weight for me because I love myself.
  4. I set aside time just for me.
  5. My good health and productivity are the rewards for the nourishing foods I choose eat.
  6. Weight gain happens over time, so my weight loss equally requires time, patience, and lifestyle changes.

When you look at these food and nutrition affirmations, they may seem like ideals – behaviors and thoughts that you only wish you could have, but each time you reaffirm them by saying them out loud, you’re slowly changing your mindset. Over time, these ideals will become a reality through your thoughts and actions.

Remember, you must first believe you can change. Once you make the commitment to your success, you will change your attitudes about food… you’ll be very thankful you did!

Be Your Best You!
