Lose Weight with the Law of Attraction: My Real-Life Manifestation Story
I have manifested weight loss not just once, but twice using the Law of Attraction. The first time, I lost around 25 kg (55 pounds), but I made a major mistake that caused me to gain the weight back. That experience taught me something very important: using the Law of Attraction to manifest your ideal body is not a one-dimensional process. It requires alignment across multiple areas of your life, especially your mindset, self-image, and your relationship with food and your body.
In this post, I will take you through the exact process that worked for me and what I learned along the way. We will explore how mind conditioning and self-image play a powerful role in achieving lasting weight loss. I will also share insights on understanding your body, building body awareness, and making better food choices, all from an energetic and intentional perspective.
While many people use the Law of Attraction to attract more money or improve relationships, few recognize how effective it can be for transforming physical appearance. Your body is a reflection of your inner beliefs, especially the subconscious thoughts you continue to repeat about yourself every day. Genetics certainly play a role, but so do your emotions, mindset, and daily habits.
If you have been stuck in a cycle of dieting and frustration, or if you have tried everything and still cannot lose the weight, this post may be exactly what you need to shift your energy and finally align with the body you truly desire.
How I Manifested Weight Loss but Gained It Back: A Lesson in Mindset and Self-Image
It was just before the COVID-19 pandemic when I manifested weight loss for the first time using the Law of Attraction. By applying visualization and affirmations, I achieved my ideal body and lost 25 kg (55 pounds). That transformation gave me a huge boost in confidence because my external appearance finally aligned with how I wanted to feel. I had more energy, felt empowered, and was able to maintain a healthy lifestyle with ease.
At that time, I was consistently following a clean eating routine and staying active. Believe it or not, I lost all that weight in just two months. But what happened next taught me a powerful lesson about sustainable weight loss and the role of inner beliefs.
When COVID-19 lockdowns began, I stopped prioritizing my health. Over a span of three months, my healthy habits slipped away. I slowly returned to old eating patterns, became inactive, and began gaining back the weight I had worked so hard to lose.
The weight gain happened so gradually that by the time I realized it, my lifestyle had completely shifted back to its original state. My metabolism slowed down, my motivation disappeared, and my body reflected those inner changes.
Looking back, I now understand that my setback had less to do with external circumstances and more to do with an overlooked but critical part of the manifestation process—self-image.
Your self-image acts like a thermostat that regulates every aspect of your life. Just like a thermostat adjusts the temperature to match the setting, your subconscious mind pulls you back to your internal “set point.” If you want lasting change using the Law of Attraction for weight loss, your self-image must evolve along with your physical habits.
Despite knowing about this and talking about it here on my blog, I forgot to keep working on my self-image once the manifestation happened. That’s why I am writing this post so that anyone looking to lose weight does not make the same mistake.
How Self-Image and Mind Conditioning Affect Your Weight Loss Journey
For a long time, the idea that a person’s body weight could be linked to subconscious beliefs was hard to accept. But today, more people are beginning to realize that weight loss is not just about surface-level actions. It is deeply rooted in your inner mindset, emotional conditioning, and your relationship with food and your body.
Many individuals find it difficult to believe that “weight loss starts in the mind,” but the reality is clear. Even the most disciplined diet plans and strict workout routines have failed to create lasting results for countless people. And those who manage to lose weight often find themselves regaining it within a few months. Why does this happen? It all comes down to self-image and weight loss resistance.
As explained in this post: 8 Reasons Why Self-Image Is Important, your self-image is essentially your internal identity. Beyond genetics, your body reflects the deep-rooted subconscious programming developed during childhood through your environment, experiences, and emotional interactions. It is similar to how a computer operates based on the code written into its system. Your mind conditioning and self-image create the framework for how your body behaves and changes.
What Is the Self-Image?
Your self-image is the set of beliefs embedded in your subconscious mind that define how you see yourself. These internal ideas shape your identity and set an energetic baseline for your appearance, habits, and behavior.
The subconscious mind operates below conscious awareness and often appears to behave irrationally like a kid. It is not always possible to make sense of it using logic. For example, during a session from Christie Marie Sheldon’s Unlimited Abundance Course, I discovered that a childhood experience had formed a belief that being overweight was necessary for self-protection. I was bullied in school by someone who was fat and round, and without realizing it, my subconscious mind equated excess weight with safety.
Just like a thermostat automatically adjusts the temperature to maintain a set point, your self-image continuously works to pull you back to what it perceives as your default physical state. So even if you start following a diet plan or begin working out, if your inner image does not change, you may find yourself returning to your previous weight and habits.
This is why transforming your self-image is essential for lasting weight loss through the Law of Attraction. Fortunately, you do not need to decode every belief. Tools like affirmations, visualization, and energy clearing techniques can help you shift your internal programming and support lasting change.
In another session from the same program, I uncovered yet another subconscious belief: I had unknowingly held negative ideas about looking attractive. Deep down, I believed I did not deserve to look fit and attractive, which created resistance to losing weight. After identifying and clearing these beliefs using Christie’s methods, I started seeing real and lasting transformation.
Throughout this post, I will be sharing more about how limiting beliefs around weight loss can keep you stuck and how you can clear them using powerful mind reprogramming techniques. This is the true foundation for a sustainable Law of Attraction weight loss journey.
Why Your Subconscious Mind Resists Positive Change?
Everything we are in life, including our behaviors, habits, and even our physical body, is a reflection of the beliefs we hold deep within our subconscious mind. These beliefs form our self-image. Unlike the passing thoughts of the conscious mind, they are deeply rooted, long-lasting, and often formed during childhood. They act like an internal operating system that influences how we see ourselves and how our life unfolds.
The surprising truth is that even when we consciously desire a positive change, such as losing weight or getting fit, our subconscious mind may resist it. This happens because the subconscious is wired for familiarity and safety. Anything outside of that comfort zone, even if it is beneficial, can be perceived as a threat.
So while you may be trying hard to shed those extra pounds, your subconscious mind might be pulling you back to the old version of yourself simply because that is what it knows and feels safe with.
This is why people often fall back into the same physical and emotional patterns. They follow a new diet or start exercising and see results, but eventually return to old habits. As I have talked before, the subconscious mind, much like a thermostat, resets things back to what it perceives as your normal state.
These patterns usually begin in childhood. For example, you may have believed that looking attractive could bring unwanted attention. Or you might have absorbed the idea that weight loss is difficult because you saw a parent struggle with it. You may have even held yourself back to avoid jealousy or criticism from others. These beliefs were formed during emotionally vulnerable times, when your mind was simply trying to protect you.
What matters most now is not how those beliefs were created, but that you have the power to change them.
To truly transform your body and your life, you must begin with your inner world. How?, I will talk about that later in the post first let’s see how the weight loss process occurs when we change our inner beliefs.
Manifesting a Healthier You: Mindset, Motivation, and Meaningful Steps
You have probably heard the usual advice: create a calorie deficit, follow a strict diet, and exercise regularly. While these are essential steps, many people still struggle to stay consistent or eventually regain the weight they lost. The main reason is that most approaches overlook the emotional and mental components of weight loss.
I have talked about this in many of my posts—how action is a vital part of manifestation. However, not all actions leads to desired results. Inspired action, which arises naturally after inner transformation, is what truly leads to lasting results. When you shift your inner beliefs, the actions you take feel aligned and effortless.
For example, in the context of wealth manifestation, I have shared in this post about root chakra and manifestation of wealth that simply visualizing success is not enough. Opportunities will present themselves, and it is your responsibility to take action—whether it means applying for a new job, starting a business, or launching a new project as I have talked about in my post about overcoming procrastination, take the first step no matter how small or big small, you must act when you are inspired.
The same principle applies to weight loss. Once your subconscious beliefs begin to shift, you will find yourself naturally motivated to take essential steps that support your physical transformation. Let us look at how this inner change can lead to inspired actions around food and physical activity.
Improve Your Relationship with Food
One of the most effective ways to lose weight is by developing a healthier relationship with food. This is not about following a temporary diet, but about understanding why you eat and how your eating habits are shaped by your emotions and subconscious conditioning.
Many of us eat not just to satisfy physical hunger but also to manage emotions. This pattern is often referred to as emotional eating. It stems from deep-seated beliefs such as “food brings comfort” or “eating helps me feel better.” If you find yourself eating even when you are full, snacking late at night, or craving sweets out of nowhere, it may be a sign that your eating habits are emotionally driven.
A powerful method to shift this pattern is practicing mindful eating. This means paying full attention to the act of eating—enjoying the texture, smell, and flavor of each bite. When you eat mindfully, you become more aware of your body’s true hunger signals. This awareness helps you distinguish between emotional cravings and actual hunger, enabling you to make better food choices.
Sustainable and Inspired Physical Activity
Another way the Law of Attraction helps with weight loss is by aligning your mindset with inspired physical activity. Instead of starting a rigorous exercise routine that feels overwhelming, you begin to take small but meaningful steps that grow into lasting habits.
When your self-image changes, physical movement becomes enjoyable rather than forced. You may begin with simple walks or stretching, and gradually feel motivated to do more as your energy shifts. Because this motivation is rooted in a new belief system, the changes you make are sustainable and become part of your lifestyle.
Unlike temporary motivation that fades, this type of inspired action keeps you consistent. It reflects your inner transformation and aligns with your new identity as someone who prioritizes health and wellness.
The Law of Attraction supports weight loss by helping you change your beliefs, which then lead to natural and aligned action. When your mind and energy are in the right place, your body will follow with ease.
How to Change Your Inner Beliefs
Now that we have reached the end of this post, I will provide you with three actionable steps to create lasting change in your self‑image and transform your inner beliefs.
Affirmations – Use powerful, empowering affirmations in the present tense, as if your desired body goals have already been achieved. Your affirmations should evoke the emotions of success and confidence. The most important factor is repetition. If it feels tedious, it will not work, so maintain discipline and vary your affirmations to keep them fresh. If you need help crafting custom affirmations, read my post: How to Make Your Own Affirmations.
Creative Visualization – Imagine yourself as the person you want to be. Visualize the scale showing your target weight, feel the energy and agility in your body, and see your clothes becoming looser.
My favorite technique is to picture yourself wearing an outfit you could not fit into before or shopping for a smaller size and feeling proud. Sensory detail and emotional engagement are the keys to making this technique work.
Creating a vision board with images and affirmations related to your weight loss goals can also amplify the effects of visualization. Even studies suggest that visualization methods can support weight loss efforts.
Powerful Methods – In addition to affirmations and visualization, use energy‑clearing practices like what I mentioned earlier in this post.
You can also combine these with my own “Mirror Method,” based on Ho‘oponopono process, which you can explore here: The Mirror Meditation.
For even deeper belief‑shifting, consider enrolling in Regan Hillyer’s Art of Manifesting program. It offers powerful activation meditations, including an eight‑hour sleep audio designed specifically for rewiring limiting beliefs.
Why the Second Time Is Different
Research shows that weight regain is surprisingly common—studies indicate that more than 80% of people regain the weight they have lost within five years, and approximately 33% to 60% regain it within the first year. This highlights how unresolved subconscious patterns and a static self-image can sabotage long-term weight loss success.
I am now going through my second weight-loss journey, and this time, it feels completely different. I am working on transforming my self-image from the inside out, and that is bringing gradual yet lasting results. So far, I have lost 10 kilograms again—but unlike before, this feels like a true lifestyle shift. I am not forcing change anymore; I am becoming the person who naturally maintains a healthy weight.
A major support in this journey has been Regan’s Art of Manifesting program, which I also recommend as an affiliate. The powerful activation meditations and the 8-hour belief-shifting sleep audio in the course have been incredibly helpful in realigning my mindset and subconscious habits with my goals.
If you are on your second (or even third) round of weight loss, know that lasting change is possible when you work with your mind—not against it.
