As much as I deeply believe in magic, alchemy and manifesting what we want through our thoughts and not our actions, I've never seen anyone release much weight with absolutely no changes and/or physical effort on their part. 

Oh it's possible to become so happy and focused on other things that those few extra pounds just seem to melt away magically . . . I know amazing women who do that regularly. 

But that isn't my situation, I've got a lot of weight I want to release, an abundance of it, and I've got no examples of anyone who has released large amounts of weight without some sort of "diet".

I have to accept that I have a belief system where some sort of action or "diet" is necessary to release weight.  It may not be a spiritual truth, but until I learn to let go of that belief, it remains true for me.  I also know if I feel like I have to be on a restrictive "diet" for the rest of my life, any weight I manage to lose I'll gain right back (and more).  I know it doesn't have to be that way, but I have to accept that has been my experience and therefore is part of my belief system at this time.

I don't want to have to diet in any of the conventionally accepted descriptions of the term, but I still want to lose weight.  As a long time Aber I realize that pretty much leaves me only one choice.  I have to create my own anti-diet.  No . . . let's change that . . . I want to create my own personal lifetime health plan, not just a diet, but rather a new sustainable eating, health, and holistic body attitude.

I want my own "Holistic Health Habitude".  OK, OK, so it's a weird name, but it's not intended for anyone else's approval.  This is about finding answers that work perfectly for me, even if they make others laugh.  I wanted to come up with something I could personally identify with and even giggle about.  Something that doesn't make me think of "dieting" and expresses my new developing outlook. 

I chose the word Habitude purposefully (and yes, it really is a word) because it combines habit and attitude, which for me is exactly what I want, new habits blossoming from my new attitude. 

But what is it?

Well, I think it's pretty exciting.  I get to ask for and follow divine inspiration to design my own individual plan of action to lead me to my most wholehearted desires.  I get to experience a new feeling of power in my life.  I get glorious new experience, expansive growth and because it's internally driven, it's vibrationally guaranteed!

So now I've named it . . . what exactly is my new Holistic Health Habitude? 

First and most important, it's mine . . . all mine.  This is my opportunity to explore and discover exactly what does and what doesn't work for me.  I can ask the experts and take advantage of other's prior efforts.  I can also reject anything that doesn't feel 100% authentic and specific to me.  It's my new plan and it doesn't matter if it works for anyone else but me.  It doesn't even matter if it makes sense to anyone else but me.  It's mine and mine alone.

Second . . . and here is the real juice . . . what does it feel like?

Holistic came to my mind because I know from what I've learned from the past that my new attitude has to encompass all aspects of my life.  It's not just about food, or losing weight.  It's about the blending of my body, mind and spirit.  Those three parts of me have felt disconnected from each other most of my life and I realize bringing them all back into balance spiritually is a fundamental aspect of my journey.

There are many triads in this for me.  It's about feeling, believing and expecting my way to positive results.  It's a whole new attitude I get to personally design based on my desires, my body and my spiritual awareness . . .

I want new confidence, and a complete feeling of trust.  I want to feel secure in my own choices.  I want to have faith that only I know intimately what is perfect for my body.  I want to know I can always trust myself to make the best decision for me.  I want to feel confident that my body and I are partners, to know as long as I trust my body and respect it, it will always respond in a way that honors and supports my desires.

I want to be naturally inspired in all areas of my life, especially to eat, to drink, and to move.  So natural in fact that it feels exciting and fun to me.  I want it to become truly effortless for me for the rest of my life. 

I want it to be based upon enjoying food.  I want to appreciate food and experience it fully, without guilt or reservations.  I want to be inspired to generally choose the healthiest, freshest and most natural foods available.  But I want the freedom to eat anything my body responds to positively.  I want to eat . . . gloriously enjoy and eat . . . and still allow the weight to fall off my body!

I want my attitude to feel so good that I don't really care what my inner being inspires me to eat.  What the food is doesn't matter as much to me as knowing my body has a reason for wanting it, and I trust my body enough to give whatever it desires.  I truly want to feel as content giving my body a big plate of fresh, delicious vegetables as I am giving it a chocolate fudge explosion dessert.  And I want to feel equally guilt free and excited about whichever one my body inspires me to eat.

I want trusting myself to feel so natural that I'm overjoyed . . .  I want to be surprised it's all so easy.  I want it to feel so "right" that any doubts easily dissolve and are replaced with delightful expectation.  I want it to all be organic, to evolve, to grow and expand . . . as I shrink! 

I want to feel delicious in my body, connected to it . . . so much so that I feel inspired to move it more and more.  I want the idea of finding new, wonderful ways to move my body to begin to feel exciting to me.  I want to feel the joy of anticipation as I watch my body shrink, tone and gain flexibility.

I want to be amazed by new realizations, things I hadn't understood or put together before.  I want to be awed by the changes in my own thinking, in my beliefs and my expectations.  I want to open my heart to any new awarenesses that I know I've attracted to me.  I want to open my life in a way I would have feared in the past, but which now seems natural, logical and exciting.

And ultimately I want it to be fun!  I want to wake up excited and inspired because of the beauty of my life and what wonderful amazing things each new day holds for me!

OK, that's the beginning.  I've taken the first steps in allowing my perfect body to blossom by realizing that because of my beliefs, I need a plan.  I've named it, and then began by stating how I want my plan to feel to me.  I think that's a pretty good beginning!

So, tell me, how does your anti-diet feel?

Love,
