Hi, me too. I hAVE LOST20 LBS SINCE STARTING TO READ THE BOOK IN JAN/08. I BELIEVE IT IS MY WHOLE NEW OUTLOOK ON LIFE THANKS TO ANE!! AMAZING ISN'T IT. Look forwrd to tomorrow night.

I am hoping for similar effects on myself and believe it will happen but not by focusing on loosing weight but just by being present while eating. I think I can now reread Breaking Free of Compulsive Eating and actually get it because I now know that presence while eating, while living is what is required.

Hi orchid101,

It is funny you mention that because sometimes, in Eckhart's CD lectures, he jokingly calls his talks "personal reduction" talks (instead of personal growth talks) and "weight loss" talks (losing the weight of the world).

But, I hear what you are saying, and it is wonderful to see things that just "happen" without the strain and toil that comes with "demanding" that they happen.


Peace to you orchid101, Student99

That is awesome! If you're like me, you're probably finding joy in everything you do! I'll bet you're smiling more too!

I can feel your excitement! I find I also have the courage to do things I've always struggled with! I get this book and no matter what people say about Oprah interrupting Eckert are out of line. She is fantastic in interpreting in such a way that helps you understand the concept. Enjoy the journey! Peace be with you!

Student99, Have you had any positive results you want to share?? It's inspiring to hear from others! Peace to you

Kbunn,

Good luck on your journey! Peace and love be with you every day

Fifteen pounds and counting. Will it last?

Hi gallowglas,


That's great! Will it last you ask?? What do you think??

Hi orchid101,

I'm a little slow getting back to continue discussions these days.

I lived in extreme suffering, which did it's job and propelled me to study fairly seriously for many years. I read a book in about 1990 by Japlowsky called "Goodby to Guilt - Overcoming Fear Through Forgiveness." Then I began studying A Course In Miracles in about 1992, and then Eckhart's Power of Now in about 2002, along with many of his CD lectures. I am very happy to report that I am no longer carrying the weight of the world on my shoulders. I live in peace and it really is wonderful.

Hi Student99,

Thanks for sharing! It is so uplifting to hear the sucess of others! Not only a feeling a peace, my intuition has been heightened! May your journey continue!

Food filled a void. I turned to food for comfort, and now I don't. I eat, but not much. No hunger pains and no future thoughts of what I want to eat, no cravings. I guess i can compare it to a bird, I just peck at my food. I love it. Must be the inner peace that has filled the void. No complaints here!!!!!!!!! Shannon

Isn't that amazing?? It helps to understand the problem of obesity in the world today. So much discontentment. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

Peace and Love,

Orchid
