Hi everyone, I just joined PI. I've been following the changing physical appearance thread since last november, and I've had results! It took me a long time to understand how it works, but a few days ago I had one of those 'moments' where I finally understood what I had been doing wrong the whole time, and since then I've had some results! 

During these summer holidays, I wanted to change my appearance because I used to dislike it and feel that it got in the way sometimes- I constantly felt self concious no matter what I wore, i didn't like going out cos i felt ugly and if i did go out, I would always look at girls prettier than me and feel horrible! Then I found this thread and it has been SUCH a blessing knowing that I can change my appearance with no effort! I have been using the LOA for quite some time (to manifest good exam results, awesome friends, and the best birthday ever!) so I know it works but for some reason it was a bit harder for me the change my appearance, I guess because I have always been so self concious about it. 

For 2 months, in my desperation to change my appearance before school starts (which is next tuesday) I was hindering its progess, and didn't have any results. I knew that I was being to obsessed and desperate, and I wanted to change it, but I could never let go until a few days ago. In just 3 days, my skin has improved drastically- it's soft, smooth, gorgeous and glowing!!! This is amazing for me as I had acne since i was 13 but now, i have only perfect skin! Even more perfect than i imagined!! I am now 46kg (from 50kg) and almost 170cm tall (from 156cm)!!! I have the face I want!! I will post photos asap (I don't have a camera, but now i'm going to get one and I can't wait to take pictures!) anything is possible, as long as you truly believe! I'm not really an expert at LOA and I don't know much, but Here's what worked for me:

1. The minute you ask, you desire has manifested, and is now being drawn to you. Thus, you can only be positive, because it already exists! So focus on your desire, and completely ignore what you don't want- doing so will erase it so you can replace it with what you want. You must be happy and feel like you have it already, so don't constantly ask the universe for it, think about how much you want it or ask it when it's going to come! That will just delay it as it implies you don't have your desire yet! The LOA, according to me, is basically about faking it till you get it, using all your feelings and senses to attract it. For some people, mainfestation will be very slow, but for others its super fast- if you have some emotional baggage in your mind (like I did) it will be a setback. Before you can attract your changes, you must LOVE yourself.Appreciate yourself for who you are, because if you don't, then why would the universe give you what you want! Be comfortable with your appearance, and then the universe will attract what you want because you are on the frequency of appreaciating and loving your appearance!

2.You must believe wholeheartedly that you have what you want! Live as if you have it- think about all the awesome things you'll do when you get your apperance, and do them! Think about how much you love your apperance, and be happy and thankful about having it! I think there was a post before that mentioned this, but you can basically do whatever technique you want, and long as you feel happy and don't feel like you're forcing the technique. So you can do visualisation and affirmation, talk to your cells and thank them, etc. I mainly did visualisation, and when I did, I didn't think of doing it because it will help me get my appearance, but I did it because I thought I already have it and was thinking about it for the joy of it. And when I did it, I did it very vividly, with all my senses (like in natalie's thread). So, don't do these techniques to get what you want, because you already do! You past and present no longer exist, only what you want does.

So, see yourself with what you want, not what you don't want, and live as if you have it! Don't wait till tomorrow, do it now!! Go out, feel like you're beautiful and imagine all the compliments you're gonna get from everyone! Think about how much you enjoy clothes shopping! Dress like you would when you're gorgeous! If you have bad skin, etc, don't wear makeup to cover it up! You have great skin, so you don't need to hide your skin! Be comfortable in your own skin! When you wear makeup do it because you love it, not because you want to conceal your flaws! Style your hair pretty, do whatever you will when you get your apperance! The mirror may hinder some, like it did for me at first. What i did was, I used to visualise myself looking into a mirror and admiring how pretty I am, and I when I went to look in a mirror, I didn't obsessively check it for evidence, I imagined myself with my ideal apperance, and I just smiled at myself and walked away! I also didn't look too much at the mirror, because doing so gives you evdience of something that's not real! So you can either look and the mirror or not, but when you do imagine your ideal appearance looking back at you and don't inspect your face closely!

3. Since your old appearance no longer exits, there is no reason to focus on what you dislike! You also must not focus on the change and obsessively check for evidence everyday, as this implies your old apperance is still there! You MUST not see your old apperance at all! It does not exist! Immerse yourself in feeling your desire. This will be a bit hard, but persist! No feeling negative! You must completely ignore the old reality! Your ideal appereance is in place, so you can only be happy! Your body is nothing more than a creation of the mind, so you can command it! You create your own reality, so you see what you want to see! If there's a thought, it can become reality!

This step was the HARDEST for me, but i managed to overcome it! You must not be afraid it won't happen, because that prevents what you want from happening. DETACH yourself from your desire, let go! Act like you have your desire! So don't obsessively think about getting it, you have it already! Feel happy and get into that feeling of wholeness you'll feel when you receive your desire. Like, don't worry about doing visualisation techniques because you think that if you don't, you won't get what you want. Trust the universe will give it to you, and on time! In fact, according to the LOA, time doesn't exist, I'm not really good at explaining but i just knew that the ideal appearance already exists, so i can just chill out, and not worry about it! Detach yourslef from the outcome, ie don't worry about it! Let go and focus on other things, so you trick the universe into believeing that you already have it so you are not worrying about it! and in no time at all you will have it!

Strong belief and trust in the unviverse is what helped me achieve my desire in such a short amount of time, and i have never been happier!!!! I dont think my explanation was that good and my english is pretty bad, but I hope i have helped someone out there, like the rest of the people on this thread have helped me and inspired me so that I could achieve my goal! Another two things I referred to are the secret to teen power and 17 seconds of weight loss by susan james. in teen power, there is a paragraph about how to change your skin with the LOA, which helped me out alot. :)

I'm extremely happy with my apperance, and I hope the rest of you reading this can achieve your goals! I just have one question to ask- I'm slightly embarrassed about this, but is there any way to get rid of unwanted body hair using the LOA? I'm hairier than most girls (due to gentics I think) and I really want to be able to wear whatever I want, not caring about having to shave/wax my legs or arms all the time. I wanted to know if it is possible, because I head of people growing back hair, but no one getting rid of their hair! please help me, thank you so much!
