Do you feel that you're going to be happy after you lose weight? Do you feel that you're unhappy right now because you have excess weight or that your health is not in proper? Let me tell you guys that that's never ever going to happen. There was a time when I needed to get rid of my pregnancy weight, and I thought that I'll be happy once I get rid of my pregnancy weight, and that didn't change. Then I was at some point in my career, I was competing for Miss Fitness World contest, and I thought that, wow, I'm competing with like these top-notch gymnasts, so I've got to have the dream body. And when I had the dream body with the six-pack, flat abs, you know, collarbone showing, I thought I'll be happy. And that never happened. It is time for you all to understand that you're not going to be happy when you achieve those goals. Hi, my name is Dinas, and in this video I'll be telling you how you need to understand and how you need to accept your body and learn to be happy with what you have right now. Talking about the results doesn't make sense. You will get those results, but the first thing is you need to understand why you have to be really, really happy. The first and foremost important thing is you have to learn to accept your body the way it is. Accept every bit of it. Accept your arms the way they are. Accept your chest the way it is. Accept your rib cage, your arms, your legs, your belly, your hips, the shape of your thighs, your face. Accept every bit of what you have. When you learn to accept every bit of what you have, then only you will be able to take this journey forward. Only then will you be able to be happy? When you are happy, you tell yourself, I am enough. I accept the shape of my body. Yes, I would like to make a change, but first thing is accepting the way you are, the way you look. Losing weight or having toned arms is not going to be happy, is not going to make you happy. Accepting where you are today and what actionable steps are you going to take to make that change is what is going to make you happy. And what are the main 3 hacks for that? The first thing is telling yourself that you are enough. So I want you to look into the mirror and do it right now. Go look into the mirror and tell yourself, wow, you look gorgeous, you look beautiful, I am beautiful, I am hot, I am sexy, I am enough. That's the first step you need to do when you are on this journey for weight loss. Dare to look at yourself, dare to love yourself the way you are today. Not when— what you want to achieve. And how do you— it's so difficult for you to accept your body when it's overweight. I know that, I've been there, I've worked with several clients who've been there. But in my experience, the fastest way of getting there is by expressing gratitude to every part of your body. By expressing gratitude that yes, I have lovely arms, I'm grateful for my arms, I'm grateful for my body, I'm grateful for my shape, I'm grateful for my hair, I'm grateful for my legs. When you start doing that, you're going to start loving yourself. When you start loving yourself, you'll start accepting yourself better. When you accept yourself better, your confidence levels will just go up. When you're— the first time you start feeling way more confident, your motivational levels will go up. And when your motivational levels go up, you will start taking massive action. And when you start taking massive actions, you will be getting the desired results. So don't look for the results first. Don't jump on that scale every day and say, "Oh, I am so unhappy, I am so angry," because those are the internal toxins. I can tell you with confidence that until and unless you don't get rid of your internal toxins, your mental toxins, until you don't start becoming happy, You're never ever going to be successful 100% in your weight loss journey. So if you want to be 100% successful in your weight loss journey, be happy with what you have right now. Be happy with your entire self from top to bottom and see and experience a sense of calmness around you, within you. And when you experience that sense of calmness by accepting your body you will be able to make better changes and you will be able to get those desired results. Thank you so much. My name is Deenaz.
