Product Description
For so many people, whether your addiction is to a substance or merely to a certain way of thinking or acting, a profound humbling occurs when you realize that your problem is bigger than you are. The terror of realizing, even dimly, that you have no control over a self-destructive pattern of behavior--that as much as you would want to, you simply cannot stop--can mark a crucial turning point in your life. At that point, you go in one of two directions: either way, way down, or way, way up. . . . This book is for you if you know in your heart that you are an addict, and that you are powerless before your addictive behavior. As the title promises, Marianne Williamson looks at weight loss from a spiritual perspective, bringing you 21 lessons that can be done separately or in conjunction with any other serious spiritual path. These 21 lessons are completely separate from anything related to diet or exercise--they will "retrain your consciousness "in the area of weight in order to break the cycle of overeating, dieting, and shame that rules so many lives. Finally, Marianne has brought you what you've been waiting for: help to heal your addiction once and for all.

A Great Focus and Change of Pace,
By Youth Worker "RJ" (Alberta, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A Course in Weight Loss: 21 Spiritual Lessons for Surrendering Your Weight Forever (Hardcover)
I was pleasantly surprised with this book. I was a little skeptical at first since it says "spiritual" and I wouldn't really define myself as religious but it turned out to work great. It seems to take some ideas from cognitive behaviour therapy which helps you to change your thinking around a topic. I've been reading this book along with a cognitive behavioural book for weightloss and have been seeing huge changes in my habits with food. I highly recommend this book.

This review is from: A Course in Weight Loss: 21 Spiritual Lessons for Surrendering Your Weight Forever (Hardcover)
I love Marianne. I love the powerful prayers in the book.There was just too much hinting about eating our suppressed emotions stuff, the uncontrollable hunger we have and feel guilty about, the bad habits and lack of consciousness we "have to deal with". Obviously the book was biaised by the now opposed view that our hunger is our own faulty creation, so is the uncontrollable calling from the "wrong" foods, how to change our life to better let God "control our bad habits" as she suggests steps in the process. I just read Gary Taubes "why we're fat and what to do about it", and this is well... God sent, because he proves that our hunger is not "our fault because we eat our emotions or have unsolved issues", we're fat and hungry because of the lack of information we've had about nutrition, period. I'm sure if Mrs Williamson had taken her information from other sources than Dr.Ornish (who wrote an introductory note in this book) and would take a different role model for healthy food than a vegan friend, she would have written the book quite differently. I had to read the book with an open mind eventhough the perspective "our ego's fault we make the wrong choices and why" was recurrent; And who knows, maybe it's Marianne's prayers leading me to Gary Taubes'liberating new book too! Now I know I' not hungry because I lack God's presence in my life, but because I've been repeatedly eating the wrong foods my ignorant mind thought was right and healthy. I hope you find your solution through Marianne's inspiring prayers too.
