Perfect Body, Mental Health and Grades!!!!
Submitted by: Jessica Sarah-Joy
GermanyI am 18 years old now and I can proudly say that I am fighter. I go to school and in one and a half years I will have my A-Levels. I was not the happiest person because of my family situation. I was diagnosed with Anorexia Nervosa two years ago but I have not suffered from it since I read The Secret. I got hospitalized for 8 weeks and after that I had to go to an treatment center for another month.
First of all, I want to thank Rhonda Bryne and The Secret team for their great work. I could not be more happy and thankful for the special gift you gave to the world.
So my story starts four years when I began to restrict my food intake. I now know that I created it because my mum had a full time job and had little to no time for me. My dad was always working in Dubai or another country and I only saw him two times in the year. Furthermore, my best friend canceled the friendship and I felt uncomfortable in my body. Also I always had a problem with becoming an adult. Please, do not get me wrong. I have parents who love me from the bottom of their heart. My mum does everything to make me happy and my dad makes every wish of mine come true and when I say every wish I mean every. If I would go to him and ask him if I could have a new iPhone he would go to the stores and buy one. Actually he did it.
So I suffered nearly two years from this nasty mental illness and if you think my mum took me to the doctors you are wrong. Now I think my parents did not want to accept that I had a problem or they had to work too much. At the end of grade 8 I got to my mum and cried. I do not know anymore what happened inside me that I finally spoke to her and said I need help. It was really a hard time. I had to stay in hospital for 8 weeks because my weight was so low, my heart was so weak and the doctors were worried that I die in the night because of my low heart rate and my blood tests were not good. After 8 weeks of crying, being depressed and being angry at everyone because nobody had helped me before, I had to stay in a treatment center for teens. I can say this time was a bit better. I got new friends but the whole time there I did everything to gain weight. Not to get healthy but to come home faster so I could lose all the weight again. I played a happy girl but that was not true. I was stressed and depressed and only wanted to be at home and start restricting again. Not to say that it was a really bad treatment center as I had two therapy sessions in one week.
After 3 months I got home and the hell was not over yet because I restricted my calories again. In two years at home I made little to no progress and I got a new problem. My new addiction was to punish myself because I was eating more, so I would obsessively study for school for 8-9 hours a day. During that time my parents would fight often and I was really unhappy at home.
All changed when my mum and me made the decision to move out of the apartment with my dad and search for another one.
Without knowing it, we used the LOA because we bought many little things for our new home and in no time we had a wonderful little apartment for us with the most beautiful windows I have ever seen in my life.
At this time I get to know The Secret. I downloaded it at Audible and got addicted to it. I started to tell myself that I can eat whatever I want and that I have a perfect, healthy and beautiful body. Also I made a vision board and bought the books The Magic, The Power and The Secret To Teen Power.
I can not explain how fast my life changed since then. At the end of winter holidays I had my perfect wonderful body which I love and am happy with and it happened nearly overnight. Furthermore I can eat what I want and can do as little or as much sports as I like and still have this beloved body I have manifested myself. My grades improved without learning much because all the knowledge I get in school comes so easily to me. It is fantastic and makes it so much fun to go to school !!! Now I have so much time for myself, my friends and family. I could not be happier about my life. I became the person I always wanted to be. I am the girl who is happy most of the time. I am the girl who asks for a second piece of cake. And I am the girl who knows The Secret.
I wish all of you that everything you desire come true and that you change to the bright side of life. I now know that life is perfect, easy and a joy.
Love you all
Jessica, the happy girl 🙂
