Take two handfuls of the fat around your waist. Use the “handles” to feel it in your hands for a moment, manipulate it, wobble it about. Do you have too much fat there or is it about right?

Do you like your body with that much fat on it?

Answer now, do you like it or not?

If you don’t like it, how would you prefer it to be?

Close your eyes and imagine your waist as you would prefer it to be. Do you think that a slimmer waist would make you more attractive to someone else?

Would a slimmer waist make you more attractive to you?

If you were more attractive to you, do you think you would find it easier to love yourself?

How would it feel to love yourself more, even just a little bit more?

Close your eyes again, imagine that slimmer waist, see yourself admiring your new slim waist in the mirror and, as you look at the image, feel love for your body welling up inside of you.

How does that feel?

Would you like to feel that feeling more often?

Loving your body is a great feeling. It is a powerful motivator to do something about your body.

Imagine your body as you would love it to be. Create in your heart the loving feeling that you would have when you looked at your body and saw that shape. Make the loving feeling stronger.

Keep the feeling and plan the action you will take to create that body. With that body shape the loving feeling will be permanent.

Once you have the feeling you will constantly find yourself taking action to move your body towards the shape you want it to be. You will find yourself eating more sensibly, exercising more and generally taking better care of the body you love.

From now on, three times a day, imagine your new, slimmer body, and feel, strongly how much you love it.

Start down this road of loving your body by taking The Slim Pledge.
