At last the GENUINE solution!

Marianne Williamson has given us a great gift in the form of a beautiful weight loss transformation that heals the ROOT of the problem in a warm humorous healing way. The weight is dropping off me effortlessly as I realize that the body problem is a product of my own erroneous belief system. This is a sacred healing text and I AM so grateful for it!

A spiritual key to weight loss...and surrender

I am really enjoying this Course as part of my spiritual journey and my quest to allow my body freedom forever from compulsive dieting and overeating. I have, it seems, been on a lifelong journey to "get skinny," and though I gave up diets years ago, I still struggle with fear-based overeating. In my heart I always knew that my extra pounds around my mid-section were due to a spiritual dis-ease, rather than anything I was or wasn't doing in the physical world (I am a very active dancer and teacher who carries about 20 lbs. of extra fluff around the middle). I have found much comfort and catharsis in Ms. Williamson's prayers and journaling lessons. She is helping me face the fear of other people and of life that underlies my use of food as a pacifier. In my opinion, one does not have to be Christian to enjoy this program; however, one does have to be open to the concept of surrender to Spirit, much as in a 12-step program, which is what I am finding particularly inspiring and so different from other weight-loss efforts I've made. Overall, this audiobook has very much inspired and comforted me in my ever-deepening spiritual quest to live free from fear and in Love.

Excellent book! We all can diet, and we also know diets don't work long term. This course which will requre YOU to do the work and change your subconscious to make a change,to root out fear and embrace love. As Marianne said " .This course is not about our relationship with food, its about our relationship with love. For love is a true healer.And Miracles occur naturally in the presence of Love."

Transforming

After purchasing the hardback I found myself distracted (although interested) and didn't get that far into it. Hearing it on Audible was so much better. Maybe because it's a different time in my life. After finding there's a direct link between being overweight and breast cancer (diagnosed Nov 2014) I was forever changed anyway...all things about me , as it turned out, had to be re-examined. I "went spiritual" and never looked back. It's only reasonable that I'd get back to Marianne Williamson, right? This is my first book of hers, however, for me. (Course in miracles coming up). My FAVORITE part is the prayer towards the end. Where I become light filled.
My journey thus far, has been wild. Beginning with Caroline Myss and Anita Moorjani as authors . I've "shed" 70 lbs without any diet. Marianne Williamson deals directly with the actual issues of weight and gives clear direction on what to do about it. Final results being weight lost and most importantly spiritual renovation/renewal. This book is perfectly timed now to let me know what I'm doing right and am inspired by the author to keep moving closer to God, ask for divine help and then accept it totally.
High recommendation for the serious minded . I wish you well.

Better in printed format

I thought the book had some helpful ideas, but would be better used in printed format. The worksheet pages are repetitive being read out loud, and would be hard to follow unless you quickly write them as she speaks them.

My main complaint was that the author reads this SO fast. I found that the speed, and her dramatic inflections, distracting and at times unpleasant.

21 Day Fix Extreme Meet ACIWLM

As I embark on my 21 Day Fix Extreme Fitness Journey I believe going through these lesson in conjunction with the program will help me immensely. I had so many AhHa that's I'm now forgiving myself for thinking that my journey to my ideal weight of 143lbs would be easily accomplished without God's help. I've had this book for at least 3/4 years and I know within the depths of my soul that this was the right time to have read it, and now as I reread it slowly or rather as instructed I am reaping all of its benefits 💞

I finally got it.

If you could sum up A Course in Weight Loss in three words, what would they be?

Discovery, understanding, life changing

What was one of the most memorable moments of A Course in Weight Loss?

The most memorable moment during the book was when I was finally able to make a connection between my cravings for certain foods and my emotional state. I discovered what I had been lacking emotionally and how this was a factor in my overeating.

Have you listened to any of Marianne Williamson’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I have not listened to any Marianne Williamson's performances before this one.

Powerful,Spiritual yet very practical

I very much enjoyed the book.Loved that it wasMarianne's voice.
Many good points in the book but the Love for yourself is central...and Love for God. But so often people try to make overweight a sedentary issue when most times its spiritual,psychological,chemical then physical.She does an amazing job at bring up main points in a woman's life that are not usually talked...rape,major events in life,attitude etc that help keep the weight on no matter what you do and science is echoing this in alot of research.A must have if you want to become COMPLETELY whole.
