Introduction to “Thinking Thin”
The path to sustained weight loss is just as much a mental journey and a physical one. You must have
your thoughts and mind aligned with your body shape and weight loss goals in order to successfully lose
weight and keep it off.
All of the diet advice, scientific information, knowledge, rules, designer foods, eating strategies and
‘know how’ aren’t going to produce even one ounce of weight loss if you don’t have your mind in the
game.
This manual is going to give you tips and tricks for framing your mind and getting you to ‘Think Thin’.
To be clear, I’m not talking about obsessing about weight loss and dieting, but instead, having a set of
simple tools that will help you stay on track and in the weight loss zone.
Your thoughts will always frame and direct your actions, so one of the most important keys to successful
weight loss is getting your thoughts to direct your body towards your weight loss goal.
These are the thoughts and questions you can ask yourself to get you through those moments when you
really think like you’re going to ‘crack’ or give up on yourself.
You can and you will lose as much weight as you wish as long as you believe you can. Part of that belief
is having the tools and trust in yourself that you’re capable of dealing with any situation, and especially
the mind games that you will end up playing on yourself.
The following pages contain 10 tips for staying on track with your weight loss and making it a reality.
Each one will help you deal with a situation that will likely creep up on you and before you know it have
you half way through a container of ice cream before you realized you were even eating.
You may not use them all, but I guarantee you’ll need some of them, and they’re some of the best
psychological tricks I have ever learned and used to help myself and my clients get to their goal weight.
They worked for us and I know they can help you too. So let’s get to it and start to learn how to “Think
Thin”.

What is this going to do for me?
Mindless eating, and eating simply out of habit is something many of us do, and it can easily
lead to weight gain.
When you’re trying to actively lose weight you have to be more mindful of how much you’re
eating.
Obviously you are going to need to eat while you lose weight, but you’re going to have to eat
less.
During your weight loss progress you will have foods and meals that you’ve decided are going
to be a part of your journey and you’ve already made the decision that they stay on the menu.
There will also be times when you want to eat more than you know you should, or add in extra
servings or meals or snacks or treats that weren’t part of your initial agreement with yourself.
In some cases you might need to have some extra food simply because you’re having a really
lousy day and you just need a bit of food as medicine that day.
Whatever the reason is, you have to admit to yourself exactly why you’re eating that extra meal
or snack and decide if you really need it.
The way you do this is by asking yourself the following question before you eat that extra food:
“What is this food going to do for me?”
Your answer to this question has to be good enough to allow that food to enter your body. The
answer can be as simple as “because I’m stressed out and would really like a couple bites of
chocolate” or “I feel good about my progress so far and I would really enjoy this piece of food
right now”

I can’t really tell you what a right or wrong answer is to this question, but you need to be
honest with yourself with this answer.
If you can’t come up with a good answer to this question then it’s likely that you also don’t
really need to eat it.
The point is to be mindful of the food you’re eating and to acknowledge that each piece of food
you eat is contributing to your weight loss success or failure. Asking this question before you
eat is a simple way to guide your food choices towards your weight loss goal.
