Comments on A COURSE IN WEIGHT LOSS

Marianne Thank you

I have searched so long for some answers, I kept hitting a wall when I would try to loose weight. It was not until I read A Course In Weight Loss that I realized the wall I was hitting was my own. Please, if you feel you are hitting a wall read this book, do the exercises with every bit of yourself you can. Thank you Marianne Thank you. Amazon.Com Review

Thank You!

Knowing I will never have the opportunity to thank Ms. Williamson personally, I have decided to use this format to express my gratitude. - Like most people who have struggled with overweight, I have tried most everything. Marianne Williamson recognizes the emotional, mental, psychological, and spiritual dimension of food addiction. Perhaps, as many say, this book came along when I was ready for it - but it has, quite literally, transformed my life. Thank you. Thank you. Amazon.Com Review.

It is NOT a "Diet" Book

This book guides you to take a brutally honest look at "why" you are overweight. It is NOT a "diet" book. It is heavily drawn from "A Course In Miracles" and the Overeaters Anon 12 step program. It took me quite a while to read. I had trouble with the deep truth it asked me to face. My weight serves a purpose and until I face the reasons and release them, I will keep the weight on. It asks you to rethink "food as a friend" to "food is an object" It is a work in progress for me and probably always will be. I loved this book and hated this book for the dark past it made me deal with. I agree with another reviewer that the introduction is worth the price of the book alone. For those ready for real work it is the best book I have ever read on the subject. Amazon.Com Review

I am on lesson 3 of ACIWL. When I did lesson 1 (the bricks) it was very freeing. I felt so good when God crushed those bricks! Lesson 2 ( the letter) was very good. I articulated things that I hadn't ever articulated out loud(or on paper). I was able to share them with my husband(which if I never articulated them to myself I was never able to share with him how I felt about certain things) and I think that he is going to start doing ACIWL too. I just signed up for the Jan 4 course. Failure is such a reoccurring theme in my life, I just ask you to say a prayer that I will do good with this and not fail at it (and yes, failure was one of the bricks-I frequent see God crushing that failure brick when it crops up again).

I love the line in Lesson 4, "You have explored the zone of a heavier existence; now explore the zone of a lighter one." That made me smile. I told Thin Me in my letter, "while out 'exploring the zone of a heavier existence', it seems I lost my compass. But fortunately Marianne was kind enough to provide a roadmap:-)". I am definitely making much better food choices now. Nancy Shaw Gardiner

I have already lost 4 lbs. and have not even finished reading the book. It really works!!! It is very spiritual and it really speaks to me and I love it. I was very over weight and a Diabetic and needed to lose weight and was at a standstill until I found this book.

Get the book

Even if you don't lose weight it still has wonderful messages in it for you that will do something wonderful for you. Good luck and God bless!

Finally, someone really gets it!

I've read a million books, tried a zillion diets, only to keep putting on more and more pounds. This is the first time I've really felt so sure that something would work. The mantra: "I can't do it, but God can."

I believe this is going to work! All is well and I am willing to change. Jennifer Wood.
