Affirmations can be extremely useful in lots of situations. Here's a suggested use of affirmations to stop you snacking if you're trying to lose weight.

When you have finished your meal, say an affirmation out loud several times. Here’s some suggestions:

·         “I’ve now finished eating till ....”   
·         “I have eaten enough food to last me till ….”
·         “I’m full and do not need to eat till ….”

You complete the sentence with whatever is suitable given the circumstances, e.g. lunch / dinner/ 7.00 pm/ till I'm really hungry again/ etc.

If you don’t like these, vary it till you find something you can say with real conviction.

You can, of course, adapt it to other situations and other activities.
