Chapter 7
Your Language- A Deeper Look
Now that you have begun to observe your internal
dialogue playing in the control center of
your mind, you are capable of discriminating. An
earlier chapter talked about a process for determining
what language is incongruous with reality and
replacing it with more suitable language. (Note: we
do this outside of the hypothalamus process.)
As you live and breathe, on a daily basis millions
of thoughts pass through your mind and you speak
thousands of words in conversation. Here vigilance
to “observe and replace” is very important also.
Every thought and every conversation you have
about your health and weight needs to be spoken in
the same brilliant language if you expect long-term
results. This is why it is equally important to be aware
of and correct the language you use about your
health and weight during the course of your daily
activities. I also encourage you to continue to observe
the interior language of your hypothalamus
and continue working there.
Another revelation that came to me was the effect
of thinking and speaking in terms of “losing weight”
and my long-term success. This language has been
powerfully problematic terminology for everyone. It
ensures, for a majority of you, that your weight will
return. Let me explain, so you can realize the importance
of changing it.
Almost all of us from early childhood have been
programmed to find what we lose. We have also been
programmed to be winners, not losers. This is a
society that rewards winners in a big way and puts
down losers. Our slang phrase “YOU LOSER” indicates
how much we want to avoid being a loser. Just
look at any area in society—politics, academics, business,
sports—everybody wants to be a winner. People
are looking to gain in some way and keep what they
gain. We all would like financial gains, economic gains,
and social gain. (Some would like political gain.)
We have also been programmed to keep what we
gain, to “hold on to it.” Did you know that about 85
percent of the people who lose their car keys find
them and about 85 percent of the people who lose
weight gain it back—they “find it.” How hard do you
try to find whatever it is that you have lost? This is a
part of your programming. So why on earth would
you want to lose weight just so you could find it again
and keep it?
If you are reading this book, you have probably
gone through the process of losing and “finding”
your weight several times. Please don’t try to count
how often, because you might get depressed. I know
what it is like. I lost and gained many times—up and
down like a yo-yo. Once I removed the concept of
loss and gain from my internal and external dialog
about my weight, then long-term success manifested.
If you are going to have long-term success managing
your weight, you must remove “losing weight,” “lost
weight,” “I am going to lose weight,” etc., from your
language. You also must remove all language of“gaining weight,” “gained weight,” etc. These are
very deep patterns in our society, and it will take
vigilance to accomplish their removal. Everybody
uses this type of language, and this is part of the
reason there is such a large weight problem in our
society.
Remember, the power of the word in the manifestation
process cannot be underestimated. Your
language shapes your attention and determines
your destiny. For example, how many times do you
hear a person say, “Every calorie I eat goes straight
to my hips”?
The language I found that works best for me is:
• “Processing weight off my body and getting
rid of it.”
• “Processed weight off my body and got rid of it.”
I have used this language both internally and
externally for years. Even so, because it is such a
pervasive part of mass consciousness, I slip occasionally.
Still I remain vigilant and keep coming back
to “Processed weight off my body and got rid of it”
over and over and over again. This simple phrase has
been like gold to me. It is priceless as far as long-term
Intentional Weight Management goes. It seems so
simple. It is simple, but it may take time, because you
have been programming your subconscious mind
with weight-gaining phrases for years. At the same
time it works easily and most powerfully to allow the
long-term management of weight.
I have shared with you the phrases I found that
work best for me. Others have found that these
phrases work very well for them, too. These may also
be the phrases that work best for you. I am sure there
are other ways to language around body weight that
will promote long-term success. So please feel free to
explore the language of your own heart. Your heart
speaks its own language; all you need to do is listen.
What you will hear will continually keep you in awe
of the grand mystery of the Divine Intelligence that
speaks through it. Peace, assurance, gratitude, and
love are the responses people often have to its wisdom.
Just remember your goal is “Radiant Health,”
so when communing with your heart, ask for language
to support that!
