If you’ve been following my journey, you know that my weight loss process has been, well, it just got started! Gastric bypass surgery was a huge step, but even before that, I had weeks of prepping — mentally, physically, and emotionally — to get ready for a major lifestyle change. The liquid diet alone was a challenge, and let me tell you, it was the mental part that really tested me!

One thing that really helped was using weight loss affirmations. Honestly, I never used to think much about them. But, as I was getting ready for surgery, I realized that it wasn’t just about prepping my body. I needed to keep my mind in a good place too, and affirmations became my little pep talks. On days when the liquid diet was hard, or when I just felt overwhelmed, these weight loss affirmations were like mini boosts of confidence. They kept me going.

So today, I wanted to share 40 affirmations with you — the ones that helped me and might give you a little push too, whether you’re on a weight loss journey or just trying to bring more positive vibes into your life.

Why Weight Loss Affirmations Are Your New Best Friend

Going through the pre-op stuff was such a process — and that liquid diet was no joke! It forced me to really slow down, focus on my goals, and constantly remind myself why I was doing this. I wanted this journey to be about more than just losing weight; I wanted to feel good in my body, in my mind, and in my everyday life.

Weight loss affirmations became a way to keep that “why” close by. Anytime I’d feel the doubt creeping in (like, “Can I really do this?”), I’d repeat one of my favorite weight loss affirmations to myself, and it instantly felt like someone was cheering me on. They kept me grounded and gave me a little boost on the tough days.

How to Use Weight Loss Affirmations (and Actually Believe Them!)

I know, weight loss affirmations can feel cheesy at first! I used to feel a little silly saying them, but I promise, the more you do it, the more natural it feels. Try saying these weight loss affirmations in the morning, writing them in a journal, or setting reminders on your phone throughout the day. Think of them as tiny reminders to stay kind to yourself — especially when you’re facing hard stuff.

These little positive statements helped me so much. I felt more grounded, more focused, and more able to stay on track because I had a way to re-center when things felt challenging. So here they are, 40 affirmations to bring a little light, a little strength, and a lot of self-love to your journey.
