ugh you guys. i'm sorry. i know you are like, "joanna. why did you read this?" i don't even know. i am an agnostic! i don't know what i was thinking. i read part of it in o magazine (i know!) and it was nice! it was about reclaiming the healthy aspects of yourself and letting go of the self-sabotaging part of yourself that thinks an appropriate way to fix a bad mood might be a cookie and a hot toddy, and i was like, "oh hey this is nice. and is stimulating some thoughts," and i never imagined ugh you guys. i'm sorry. i know you are like, "joanna. why did you read this?" i don't even know. i am an agnostic! i don't know what i was thinking. i read part of it in o magazine (i know!) and it was nice! it was about reclaiming the healthy aspects of yourself and letting go of the self-sabotaging part of yourself that thinks an appropriate way to fix a bad mood might be a cookie and a hot toddy, and i was like, "oh hey this is nice. and is stimulating some thoughts," and i never imagined that this would be a book which would involve a lesson where you (i am not even kidding here) BUILD AN ALTAR and place said book on the altar with candles and flowers and some shit and PRAY TO GOD for him to heal you and your fucked up relationship with food. at that point, i said outloud, "oh you have got to be kidding," and then i read the rest of the book for laughs. FOR LAUGHS.Feb 23, 2011
I am almost done reading this book. It is very interesting and inspiring so far. I recommend this book to anyone who believes in Spirituality, not necessarily organized religion but believes in God. The book reminds you how mind and body are connected and how much God and connecting to him could help you in your weight loss journey. The book also awakes your subconscious mind inviting you to heal your inner fears that may hold you back from being dedicated to losing weight.Jul 18, 2012
I didn't want to like this book, actually I'm not sure I like it at all. I am reading it because my over eating is making me uncomfortable and unhappy. What I am doing is fighting to keep an open mind and making an effort to do the exercises and as a result, I'm making better choices and I haven't been bingeing. I have been surprised that thus far it hasn't been a struggle.

Subtitle says it all: 21Spiritual Lessons for Surrendering your Weight Forever. Teaches taking care of our bodies as the holy temples that they are. Will change the way you think of what, how, & why you eat. High recommendation.Mar 23, 2011
An amazing self-help book for women who find it difficult to lose weight due to emotional issues. Don't read this until you're ready to do the work though.Oct 26, 2013
Love it! Totally amazing! I hv been dealing with my weight since I have been a teen. I have been dealing with finding myself since I was 30. Now at the sweet age of 49 I am doing the fun stuff aka the really hard stuff of removing the carpet and clean up years and years of unneeded unwanted dust ;) and thinking its time to go with the natural floor look. Heck! Let's get rid of the floor too ;DMay 03, 2011
I have loved reading many things by Marianne Williamson in the past. So I looked forward to reading through this to see how I can better help myself as I attempt yet again to lose weight.May 24, 2011
According to this book, obviously I am not living completely up to A Course in Miracles or I wouldn't have added this extra poundage. But this book gives me hope that as I rededicate myself to connecting to the divine perfection in all people, offering only love and keeping vigilance for thoughts only of the divine, which is my truest deepest longing, my physical body will return to its true and original size.

How wonderful that I *don't* have to try to think of these (spiritual growth and physical shrinkage) as distinct issues! I listened to the audio version (one 6hr49min track!). Probably want to borrow the print version from the library to take some notes. ...moreJan 17, 2018
No way I can bring myself to read any more of this nonsense. Started the book, promptly am placing it on my "couldn't finish" shelf.Sep 30, 2013
There are two parts in every chapter. The first part is written like some random rantings of a beginner life coach. The second part consists exercises. A few exercises were remarkable, but those specific exercises (talk to that part of yourself etc.) are typical exercises done by coaches and therapists since the beginning of timeNov 28, 2010
I knew the book was a spiritual journey to weight loss, however, I didn't know it was going to be such a prayerful book. Some points are very valid, loving yourself enough to fuel your body with good foods and exercising and not being so ashamed of yourself that you pack on the pounds to become invisible. Just a little too much of the Diving Mind for my taste. Not what I expected.Mar 16, 2015
I found this book to be interesting with several good ideas but not exactly what I need. It suggests that you do one lesson a day and includes assignments or activities with each lesson. I did not do that. I can see how that could be effective, but it was not something I wanted to do. I especially liked the prayers in the book.Dec 26, 2010
I think this is a fantastic approach to weight loss from a holistic perspective. My three star rating is not so much about content as it was that I listened to this book on audio while driving. I am glad I did, though, because I know I want to revisit the book at some point. There are guided meditations that would be nice to listen to on audio, as opposed to being read, but not while driving! I love Marianne Williamson's approach and style and feel she has a lot to teach me/us. I will re-visit I think this is a fantastic approach to weight loss from a holistic perspective.

I wasn't sure what I was expecting from a book with '21 Spiritual Lessons' as part of the sub-title. I primarily picked up the book because it touted combating compulsive overeating and a holistic approach to such. However, very little of it is of any use to someone who suffers from COE.Feb 23, 2011
An excellent book with some very good lessons which really do aid in re-thinking a view of weight and food. A few of her suggestions I found slightly unhelpful, but only a few, the majority of her insights are very good and the course of actions she recommends are truly helpful and worthwhile. I'm starting over reading it again because there is a lot to digest even though it's not a very big book. Really processing the information takes time. But is worth it.

I'm starting over reading it again because there is a lot to digest even though it's not a very big book. Really processing the information takes time. But is worth it. I wouldn't let the title "spiritual" lessons throw you - I mean, maybe there are some people who have no belief in a spiritual side and maybe the book wouldn't be helpful for them, but I think most people could utilize the lessons here without having to embrace any particular belief system. It's really more about believing in yourself, regardless of any other spiritual or religious belief system you might have. ...moreJun 21, 2017
I started this book a few years back, but never finished. So recently while on vacation, I restarted it. Let me tell you, the best way to immerse yourself in these lessons is to do them while undistracted on vacation. I felt completely inspired as I read each chapter, and could feel love pouring out of every cell of my body.Jul 05, 2019
I only did the first 18 exercises. This book is a lot of work. It’s taken me a year!May 10, 2018
Pretty interesting overview of how to change your view about yourself, your health, and your relationship to food and exercise. It's based off of A Course in Miracles.Dec 03, 2017
This is not for everybody.May 26, 2017
Loved this book. So much more than a "diet/weight loss" book. It is filled with wisdom on dealing with any compulsive behaviour and more.Aug 22, 2017
As someone struggling hard with weight and fitness issues, this book is actually unbelievably helpful. Personally my weight issues don't come from just the surface, I have deep work within to address and this book has helped me do so. I'm starting to unravel all the knots and barriers that are in front of me. I can't recommend it enough!Aug 06, 2017
This book is not about nutrition for weight loss. It is about changing your thoughts to bring on physical change. There is a theme of connecting with a higher power to have a spiritual experience in order to bring on this new way of thinking.May 12, 2019
