Overcoming diabetes and obesity.
Submitted by: Margaret C
Maple Falls, WAI am a 53-year old grandmother with a strong family history of diabetes. I love animals. I am married with three children.
I have decided to do something about my diabetes. Everyday I have been watching The Secret, making affirmations, meditating and working on health. I visualized myself as healthy, fit, beautiful, and joyous.
I have aways been addicted to food and could not stop thinking about food. I tried everything to quit obsessing about food and joined all sorts of groups, pills, diets, etc. When I did diet, I felt irritable, cranky, and extemely hungry all the time, along with feeling weak. My bookcase is full of diet books and exercise videos, yet I was always overweight. I started visualizing myself as healthy and fit, feeling wonderful. Something wonderful has been happening in my life since I started this. I find I no longer crave chocolate or any type of junk food. I did not consciously go on a diet, I just lost my desire for overeating and certain types of unhealthy food. I am eating very very healthy and balanced — the first time I have not had to fight to stay on a diet, I am just not craving food anymore.
I deal with diabetes and yesterday morning I decided to also work on that specifically. I visualized feeling wonderful and having normal blood sugars. When I got up in the morning, after I had a healthy breakfast, my blood sugar went up to 173. I decided to set this straight right away. I did visualization of normalized blood sugars and in 20 minutes I took it again and it was 79!!! This morning my fasting blood sugar was 93 – normal. It has not been this low for a long time. I feel applying the principals and practices of The Secret has given me a second chance at the life I want to live.
