How to practice being thin. So you need to practice being thin because you don't know how to be thin. If you did, you'd already be thin. And so the good news is that the most effective way to practice it is also the most fun. All you need to do is imagine that you are at your goal weight tomorrow morning. And you can imagine you're lying in bed before you've even opened your eyes and you're at your goal weight in your dream body. And I want you to notice what it feels like on the outside to be in that body. Feel it with your hands. And now imagine what it feels like on the inside to know that you're in this body, looking this way, feeling this way. Now imagine yourself hopping out of bed, getting dressed in the exact outfit you'd love to wear on this body. Imagine how it feels to get dressed in this, knowing you look this way, feel this way. And now imagine yourself moving through your day, walking, going up and down stairs, in and out of chairs, all the little things you do. Notice how this feels to do what you typically do during the day, but you're in this body as this version of you. Conversations you have, the way you move, the way you feel— if you feel more energized, if it's easier to move, the confidence you may feel. And now imagine moving into the future even further. Any situations that you know are coming up, any events that you have planned, And imagine going to them in this body as this version of you. Notice how you look forward to things more. Notice how that fear and worry melts away and you feel more secure and comfortable with yourself as you live at the weight that you truly want to live at, as you live as the person who you truly want to be. So you can go into the future and choose any event that you know is coming up and imagine experiencing it as this version of you in this body. Have fun with this. And the more you do this, the more you clarify the goal, and the more you connect to it, the more motivated you feel. So let this feeling that you have go into every cell of your being. Let it become what you think about. And the more you think about this, the more you feel this, the more it becomes a reality for you.
