Manifesting Weight Loss with Ho'oponopono sorry, to this body

The script below is written for anyone. Perla writes one for you — from your own answers about weight loss with ho'oponopono — and narrates it aloud. Free on iPhone and Android.

Saying four phrases will not change what you weigh, and none of this is treatment — a doctor is the right person if something about your body is actually worrying you. What ho'oponopono can hold instead is the argument you've been having with this body for longer than you'd like to admit.

  • A full script for weight loss with ho'oponopono, written in the present tense and ready to read tonight.
  • Shorter versions — one for falling asleep, one for the morning, and one line to carry with you.
  • How to use it: Four spoken phrases are a coping practice, not treatment, and they leave your weight exactly as it was — a doctor is who to see about anything about your body that genuinely concerns you.
  • The common mistake: Saying the phrases while still restricting food or punishing movement afterward keeps the old argument running underneath gentler-sounding words.

The script

Read it slowly, in the present tense, as though it has already happened. It is written to be spoken aloud, but silently is fine.

I say the four phrases to this body, the one I actually have, not the one I keep comparing it to. I'm sorry, for the years of talking about you like an enemy to defeat. Please forgive me, for treating an ordinary meal like a moral test. Thank you, for carrying me through every one of those days anyway, fed or not, kind to yourself or not. I love you, said plainly, to the body sitting in this exact chair right now. Afterwards I don't check anything — no mirror, no mental tally. I just make dinner, something I actually want, and eat it without the usual argument running underneath. I fold laundry. I go for a walk because the evening air is good, not to earn anything back. Nothing about my weight has changed by saying the words. What's changed, a little, is that I'm not narrating this body as a problem while I move through an ordinary evening in it — cooking, eating, walking, existing, unranked for a while.

Shorter versions

Two for the ends of the day, and one line to carry through the middle of it.

Tonight, as you fall asleep

I'm sorry. Please forgive me. Thank you. I love you. Said slowly now, to this body, heavy against the mattress after an ordinary day. I'm not running a tally of what I ate tonight. The four phrases sit where the commentary usually sits instead. Sorry. Forgive me. Thank you. I love you. Then quiet, this body simply resting, unranked.

In the morning

I'm sorry, thank you, I love you — said once, plainly, before I check anything else about how I look or feel. Today I make breakfast without an argument first. I take a walk because it feels good, not to earn it. I carry the four phrases instead of the usual commentary, and let the day be ordinary.

One line to carry

I'm sorry, please forgive me, thank you, I love you — to the body I have today.

How to use it

Four spoken phrases are a coping practice, not treatment, and they leave your weight exactly as it was — a doctor is who to see about anything about your body that genuinely concerns you. Say the four ho'oponopono phrases to your own body right before a meal or a mirror, in place of the usual commentary, then move on to the ordinary next thing.

The mistake to avoid

Saying the phrases while still restricting food or punishing movement afterward keeps the old argument running underneath gentler-sounding words. It also fails if the ritual becomes another box to tick perfectly, checked off with the same anxiety a food log gets checked with. Say the phrases, then let dinner be dinner and the walk be a walk, nothing more measured than that.

Questions

Can ho'oponopono actually help with weight loss?

No phrase changes what you weigh, and this script doesn't claim otherwise. What it can do is soften the self-criticism that makes ordinary eating and movement feel like a fight, which is a real but separate thing.

What do I say if I'm angry at my own body's size?

The same four lines, said plainly even if you don't fully believe them yet: I'm sorry, please forgive me, thank you, I love you. Say them as a practice aimed at the argument, not a performance of feelings you're forcing.

Is this a substitute for professional help with eating or weight?

No. If your relationship with food or your body causes real distress, a doctor or registered dietitian is the right person to talk to, and this script sits alongside that, never instead of it.
