Have You Heard of “The Secret”?

In February, I found an excerpt from the new book “The Secret”, by Rhonda Byrne. It was printed on MSNBC.com.

The excerpt specifically is about weight loss. Ms Byrne says if you think fat thoughts, you will be fat, not because you eat too much. These thoughts can be conscious or unconscious but either way, they undermine our ability to lose weight and keep it off. It’s all about the law of attraction…….it’s Universal Law in action.

What you think is what you are. That’s a pretty common saying these days. Most of us don’t really understand what that means. Thoughts, like words, have power. You know the most common saying…..you are what you eat. True, but why do you eat the way you do? Why can’t you just think yourself thin? If underneath, you don’t think you deserve to be thin, you never will be, even if you starve yourself. How do I know? I, Sadie Parker, have had a weight problem most of my life and I can only get down about 10 pounds before I sabotage myself and gain it all back. For me, being thin means attracting the wrong kind of man and I’ve had a lifetime of that. I don’t want to do that anymore. The end result is I’m 60 pounds overweight and my hips, knees and ankles can no longer stand the strain. Either I lose weight or I’m facing hip or knee replacement surgery. I can’t think of anything worse to go through. I also believe it is totally unnecessary.

I have started one more weight loss strategy…..one I’ve never tried before. Self Hypnosis. I got the CD program and have started listening every day. This is not a quick fix but for me, that’s ok. It’s losing weight that is most important so I make time for it.

If you want to try this also, I recommend the 4 cd set (or the MP3 version if preferred) at www.trimandthin.com . If you decide to try it, come back here and post your comments.

Maybe we can try helping each other with this. Support is important for success.
