Lol. 
I definitely use LOA for weight loss too. But I did/ do it unconsciously. But the more I think about it, the clearer it gets.

A few years ago, I  desperately wanted to be super-skinny. I had to starve myself so that I was size zero. I did eat waaaaaaaay too less!!! I did not look healthy anymore and it took me a hell of discipline and exercising to be that slim.

But since one year, I decided to become HEALTHY. I want healthy skin, long shiny hair and I did a lot of research on that topic. 
I mainly eat plant-based (not totally because for me that's to hard.)
I eat tons of fruits and veggies, nuts, Chia seeds. Smoothies
I still eat pizza, chocolate and I definitely eat till I am satisfied.
Funnily, I only weigh 2 kilos more then when I starved myself and exercised like crazy.

I have this strong belief that "When you eat healthily, plant-based you will stay healthy, beautiful and slim."
And it's true. My tummy is slim, my butt got bigger (do not know why, lol. I do not even exercise it :D) , I look more healthy.

I eat a lot more than I used to and I stay slim.  


But, be careful. 
I noticed, whenever I criticized myself I got SICK! 
Sometimes. I had those day when I said I want to be a little slimmer. And, well EVERYTIME I GOT SICK! 
I either had to throw up, or could not eat for days due to stomach- problems.
It was not funny, but the Universe also delivers in "bad" ways. So, be careful.
I did lose weight all the time then but it was not a nice way.

If you want to know more about my eating-habits you can send me a message. I am really passionate about healthy- eating. I noticed so many positive changes in my appearance !  

Haha I've been losing weight lately, I actually exceeded my fall weight loss goal

It's quite simple. I make it a point to exercise often - almost everyday. Running, weight-lifting, shadowboxing, walking, etc. I also eat healthier - more lean proteins, water, green tea, healthy fats, and vegetables like spinach and asparagus. I still eat sugary stuff and my pizza, pasta, and cheeseburgers - just not as frequently.

But it all begins with a healthy mind.

I was under a lot of stress and not liking how big I was getting. In terms of LoA, I think I let my fears and depressed mood get the better of me, so I was too tired to exercise, had insomnia problems, and I was overeating to soothe my feelings instead of taking responsibility for my own emotions. I didn't feel confident or attractive anymore.

The change really started when I was sick of being so sad and I started praying a lot to God, reminding myself that I am loved unconditionally, I think that helped me to make some peace with the problems I had.

So I started imagining my ideal life and tapping into the emotions behind it, finding the vision of the confident, attractive man I can be.

I started writing in my journal about what makes me attractive personality-wise, never mind how overweight I am, and I kept appreciating these qualities in me and reminding myself of the good moments I had with girls in the past.

At the same time, I didn't let the past be my only reason to be happy - I started doing more of the things I'm passionate about like writing my short stories and studying economics.

I started running more and doing new weight-lifting exercises for the feeling of confidence first and foremost, not to force results, but to feel confident. Exercise and a healthy diet felt natural and effortless as I focused on confidence and not results. The more I tried to force results, the more they stayed away from me. The more confident I felt, the faster results came.

To relax from stress, I'd visualize love because it's fun and makes me feel good and I'd picture my ideal life and get excited by it, letting it motivate me.

I kept reminding myself that no matter what, I can still be happy; no matter what, I am still handsome and attractive (since girls have told me that); no matter what I can still be confident in myself; no matter what I can still do a great job on my goals (like finishing my exercise for the day). This mantra kept me focused on being happy and not allowing results or conditions to determine my happiness and my moods.

And before I knew it, my chubby belly is getting slimmer, my skin looks healthier, I have more energy and confidence, and my clothes feels better on me.

Basically, it's about feeling confident and attractive and happy now and acting on the inspiration/ desire to change.
