called myself a hiker before I could climb a flight of stairs without getting winded. felt insane saying it out loud, said it anyway.
I stopped describing myself as “trying to lose weight” and started describing myself as someone who just… didn’t eat like that anymore. present tense like it was already true.
I acted like the version of me at 170 was already living her life and the version at 280 was just borrowing her body for a while.
people love calling this delusional when it’s inconvenient and “manifesting” when it’s cute. same mechanism, I just used it on myself before I had any proof it would work.
the scale didn’t believe me first, I had to believe it before it did.
that’s the actual cheat code nobody wants to hear because it sounds too simple to be the reason 110 lbs came off and stayed off.
I broke down the other 7 specific delulu shifts, in depth and in order, in my goal jeans weight loss guide.
