Affirmations can be extremely useful in a variety of situations, especially when it comes to reinforcing positive behaviours and mindsets. When you’re trying to break a habit or adopt a new one, the power of affirmations can be a game-changer.
One particular scenario where affirmations can be highly effective is in controlling snacking, especially if you’re trying to lose weight or maintain a healthy lifestyle.
Snacking between meals is often done mindlessly, either out of boredom, stress, or habit rather than genuine hunger. By using affirmations, you can regain control over your eating habits and stop the unnecessary snacking that may be sabotaging your weight-loss goals.

Here’s how affirmations can help you resist snacking and stay on track with your diet plan.
After you’ve completed your meal, take a moment to say an affirmation out loud several times. This simple action serves as a mental boundary, signaling to your brain that mealtime is over, and there’s no need to think about food until your next scheduled meal. By reinforcing this message, you condition your mind to stop focusing on food and instead shift your attention to other tasks or activities.
Here are some suggestions:
- I’ve now finished eating till lunch/dinner/6.00 pm. (whatever is suitable given the circumstances)
- I have eaten enough food to last me till …
- I’m full and do not need to eat till …
If you don’t like these, vary it till you find something you can say with real conviction.
Being overweight has profound implications for your health. Use affirmations to help you live in a healthy and fit body.
