I am reading a book that encourages it's readers to make a list of the reasons why we want to lose weight.  I wrote mine out and realized that a bunch of these things are already happening, even after only shedding a few pounds. 
So, while I am not really an 'affirmation' type of person, I rewrote it in the present tense.  As time goes on, more and more of the items will, indeed, be present tense.
Here it is so far:
  My outsides match my insides
  More energy to play with my children
  More stamina for drumming
  Look good onstage
  Professional appearance
  Dance classes with Ladjie (in Mali!)
  Fit into airplane seats better
  Less obsessed with food
  More time for projects
  More time and energy for God
  Healthier
  Live longer
  Less pain
  Feel like a fabulous babe ;-)
  Clothes that look good and fit comfortably
  Better sexlife
  Shopping for clothes is fun
  Exercise is fun
  I am spiritually, physically and emotionally stronger
  I am able to do more things
  I am less self concious when I eat in front of people
  My doctor is proud of me
  I am better able to serve God
  I am comfortable in my own skin
  My back doesn’t hurt anymore
  I feel better about myself
  I feel comfortable in a bathing suit
  I am in control
