10 Body Positive Affirmations to Help with Weight Loss and Improved Self Esteem

Feeling stuck lately in your health journey lately? Or wondering why it feels so hard to lose weight? Or struggling with reaching a positive body image?

These 10 body positive affirmations are going to help set you on the right track by helping you achieve your health goals.

Before we dive into the 10 affirmations; I think it’s important to take a look at WHY and HOW we put them into practice.

Why do we say or write affirmations?

Let’s start with the very basics here: what exactly is an affirmation?

Affirmations are positive phrases or statements we declare as truth. The focus here is on the positivity. Affirmations can help us overcome self-sabotaging thoughts, or in other words, negative thoughts.

Saying or writing out these positive (key word there) affirmations not only puts an energy out into the Universe that we believe these to be true. But it also gets our minds on board that these statements are also true.

You know that old saying, “you can do anything you put your mind to?” Well, that’s 100% the case with affirmations.

Once our minds are on board, there’s no stopping them. So with positive affirmations, we’re re-wiring our brains to get on board with where we want to go.

How do we practice affirmations?

This part is quite simple.

All you need to do is either write or say aloud your positive phrases or statements.

However, the hard part can come into play with getting our minds on board with what we’re saying. Especially if we’re having a hard time believing them as truth. If we’ve never thought them to be true in the past.

For example, if you have always believed it’s been hard for you to lose weight and phrases like:

• It’s impossible for me to lose weight
• I’ve tried everything but it’s like nothing ever works for me
• I’m just always going to have chunky thighs and flabby arms
• I hate the way I look in the mirror

You’re starting to get the point. And are probably continuing to list off a whole bunch of other things you dislike about your body.

Those phrases have run through your brain for, likely, years. So of course it’s going to feel really hard to get on board with a positive phrase like, “I easily lose weight and it happens at a natural pace for my body.”

What we want to do here is start to convince our brains of this new truth. Start by saying something like, “I’m starting to believe that it’s easy for me to lose weight. When I eat the foods I love without guilt or shame, I’m able to reach a healthy weight for my body.”

The “I’m starting to believe” part is important here. It will really start to get your brain on board with these positive affirmations.

So if any of the body positive affirmations listed below seem really hard for you to get your brain on board with, just start out with “I’m starting to believe.” When you’re getting closer to that feeling like a real phrase, something you believe, then you can begin to say it as a statement.
