Welcome back!

Hieronymous Matson, 2 days old

Being gone from Thursday afternoon to Sunday afternoon for the birth of my first grandbaby was a bit disorienting for me.  To boot, I became one of those dithering grannies.  Get used to his picture appearing here.  :)  Add to that the fact that I got a new computer installed yesterday.  I’ve spent just hours and hours trying to get everything set up the way it was on my old PC.  Sigh!  I want to run away from home…..and go see Hiero.

Has this stopped me from doing the mental work I know is so necessary to change the size of my body?  No it hasn’t.  That at least remains constant. I’ve been hit with tons of changes (including snow last night!) and I think I’m going to have to give myself an A+ in perseverance and consistency.  It takes that to get the job done.  After all, I am going from 67 years of thinking “I am fat” to a total reversal of concept “I have a normal sized body” and it does take assiduous effort to make that change.  I’m worth the effort. So are you.

If you’ve been making those efforts along with me, here are some tips:

1.  Review your intention.  What is it?  Is it still as strong as it was when you made it?  If not, how can you re-infuse it? Do-overs are strongly encouraged.

2.  Review your daily practice.  If you aren’t stopping to mentally think what you want into place three times a day for at least 15 minutes work, how about a renewal of that effort?  Right thought takes a right thinker, and because right thought expresses itself, and because you know that diet and exercise just don’t work permanently, are you ready to do whatever it takes?  It takes 15 minutes 3 times a day!

3. Use a support system to stay on track.  Diet is not a permanent cure, but it can be a nice prop to remind you what you are truly about.  I don’t know about you, but with a lifetime habit of wrong thinking, are you able to eat rich desserts and simultaneously hold the thought that you are losing weight? I’m not. And sometimes, when my thinking is truly dead-on-accurate, I enjoy a moderate dessert. Please note the word moderate.  Everything in moderation works.

4. Enjoy what you eat and eat it consciously. Think only about enjoyment as you eat.  Don’t eat so-called diet foods.  They don’t taste right and you cannot enjoy them.  Enjoyment is a key ingredient.  Try it; you’ll like it.

Arrowbear Lake

Arrowbear is a very tiny lake in my neighborhood.  Guessing, I’d say it was no more than 500 yards across and no more than four foot deep.  It goes through a lot of changes throughout the year.  Right now, it is full up with snow melt.  They’ll be stocking it with fish soon and the kids will have a fishing contest.  That’s always a lot of fun.  Around July or August, the water quits spilling over the little spillway and then it begins to evaporate.  By September or October, the lake is bone dry.

Don’t you think our lives are a bit like Arrowbear Lake?  I know there are times when I feel filled with the hope and promise that my desires will all be manifested precisely as I  have designed them. And sometimes my thinking seems to just evaporate and I have to smack myself upside the head to remind me what I am about.

My “Don’t Diet With Me in 2009″ project is really paying off in aces this year for me because - ahem - I am doing the necessary work with regularity.  Yes, I require reminders.  I provide them.  I have never persevered in a project of this type as I am this year.  It’s so wonderful to be on the downhill slope of getting this gol durned obesity disappeared.  I lost another two pounds this week.  That is a total of -32.  Would you like to know how pleased I am about that?  No dieting.  No exercise.  Only myself  thinking down those pounds.

If you are an obese woman, an overweight woman, or a woman who obsesses about her inappropriate bodily size, I can teach you how to be in control of your weight and  your health.  In fact, Class #3 is happening tonight at 6 pm PST.  It’s really appropriate for me this week:  The Power Within You.  How to demonstrate the complete and total preciousness of your Self.  You can learn how to recognize it and then love yourself more without pride, but with humility and gratitude.  You can sign uphere. You can always email pat@theworldofwithin.com if you have any questions.

Back to why obesity is so blessed in my life?  Because it has been the main catalyst that kept me searching for the Truth, so I could fix it, so I could gain complete control, so I could teach you how. And it’s worked.

Pat

Running Springs Daffodil Lady

Today, I’m going to make it very short and very sweet:

I have now manifested a permanent, 30 pound weight loss due to my mental work alone.

My book, “My Cats Have Seen Me Naked,”  tells you what I’m doing.  My teleclasses enhance the concepts and expand them more.

And today, I’ll be on Robin Hardy’s Blog Talk Radio Show at 11:00 a.m. PST. Our topic is “The False Perfect.”  We’ll be talking about how amazing you are and how to embrace your natural beauty and wonder.

Don’t you ever get weary with the viscious diet/exercise/binge cycle?  I can teach you how to get out of that nasty maze:  the one with no cheese at the end and the continuous nagging at yourself that it causes.  When you’ve had enough, I’m here.

Love,

Pat
