Using The Secret to Lose Weight

The movie and book entitled The Secret are doing everyone a huge favor. They are finally bringing what's known as the Law of Attraction to the mainstream. Even Oprah featured them on her show, twice in a month! One woman in the crowd asked how she can use the "secret" (which is not really a secret, it's just been ignored) to lose weight. Hopefully, she finds this article because I know how. I used it to lose 50 pounds, and counting!

My discovery of this process--I call it Shape Shifting--began a few years ago. I was at my highest weight ever and at my wit's end. By that time I'd been to countless doctors, weight loss programs, gyms, bookstores (You should see the weight loss library I've accumulated. You too?), counted calories and carbs, used starch blockers, potato powder, and ate for my type. I bought supplements, drank diet tea, used laxatives, diuretics--pretty much everything short of bulimia and anorexia.

In the meantime, I researched mind/body medicine, Reiki, holistic medicine, hypnotherapy, acupuncture, meditation, etc. I worked as an editor on a pretty well known alternative medicine encyclopedia and got to play with cutting edge technologies and knowledge. I even entered a program to get a degree in metaphysics. I gathered knowledge about how the body and mind work together. Even with this focused research, I found that the amount of information available on the specific subject of holistic weight loss was miniscule.

What I did find was that we actually create illness and health with our minds with the Law of Attraction. Our thoughts are just as real as the words in front of your face, and with them we create our own reality. We create our lives. We create our bodies. What we think is what we become. How we live now creates our future. There are dozens of different ways to express that same thought, and you've probably read them all if you've done any spiritual exploration of your own. And for some reason, I created an extra 75 pounds to lug around on my relatively small frame. So why did I create a fat body? And why can others eat whatever they want and never gain a pound?
