Finding my perfect weight
Submitted by: Jacqueline A.B
Philadelphia, PAI am a happy, skinny, in-shape 16 year old all thanks to The Secret.
I have been struggling with my weight all my life and have never been fully happy in my body. My highest weight was in 8th grade when I weighed 183 pounds! The thought that I was so much closer to 200 than I was to 100 scared the hell out of me, but i just did not have the motivation to drastically change.
By seventh grade, I had lost weight slowly until I weighed 169. I then decided I would never be fully happy at that weight, so I made a deal with my mom if I could get my weight down to 150, I could get a tattoo. I managed to loose the weight and get my tattoo. Over the following summer I even managed to get down to 140lbs. I had never been happier and was in the best shape of my life and found myself loving exercise, especially running.
After school restarted I was good for a week or two until I began rapidly gaining weight and I mean super fast. I gained around 20 pounds in a little over a month and the more I thought about it, the more I ate and the less I worked out.
Then I found The Secret again. I had heard of it once before and believed the basic teachings stated in the book, however I had never read the book. My friend explained it to me and I had written out an “I am so happy and greatful now that I…” paper, but forgot about it until I found this website and ordered the actual book. I felt the urge to buy the book beacause ironically when I went from 183-169 it was following my writing the paper using The Secret.
I have now read everything I possibly could online, watched the movie, and read The Secret, The Power, and the Teen Secret… I am happy to say that I weigh 130 pounds!!!! My dream weight! And all thanks to The Secret! I did it without restricting my diet, with a little more exercise (but all fun gym classes like dance and kickboxing).
I love my life, my friends, and my boyfriend (I thank The Secret for him too). Thank you so much to the universe, Rhonda, and all those who shared their stories and helped lead me to The Secret.
