My story begins at the age of 6. I was never a skinny child, I was just a “normal shape”. When my Grandpa died, my family as I had known it until then, broke apart. It was my Grandma with her eldest daughter against my mom, my dad my siblings (a wonderful older sister and a wonderful younger brother), and me. Suddenly I started gaining weight and continued to gain weight until my A levels, when I finally had a weight of 95 kgs. I felt ugly, unattractive and just not right in my own skin.

Interestingly, I always saw myself in dreams, and in my vivid imagination, as a normal curvy weight. Especially when I imagined myself with my ‘Mr. Right’, I was always of normal weight with lovely curves. Even when I tried to imagine myself with my ‘over sized reality figure’, I always felt like I was of normal weight somehow. But I could not manage to actually be that weight. I tried everything, every diet, different sports, eating hardly anything, eating low carb, eating high protein, counting calories, I tried everything. I lost some kgs and then gained them back but nothing really changed.

Last year during our summer holidays, I was with my sister on the isle of Corfu, I was so sad because with each picture we took I just felt unattractive and fat. I was so sick of this, as each and every year for 20 years, I had exactly the same experience during the summer holidays. I promised myself that this would be the last year of feeling fat and unattractive during my summer holidays! From the next year on, I will feel attractive and pretty and love pictures of myself! I had no clue of how to achieve that, as I had failed for 20 years at doing this up until now.

Then there was the moment last year during autumn time. I did not know about the law of attraction consciously. We had The Secret sitting in our cupboard for ages. I even read it once as a teen but never understood it until now. I was sick of always projecting my “feeling pretty and attractive” to a future, which I was not even sure about it really happening and had no clue how to achieve it. I finally said to myself, “It is enough! Stop projecting your happiness and feeling well and pretty in your body to the future! If you are destined to be a normal weight, than you have it, if not, you are also awesome and pretty! Now accept yourself as you are!” This was the moment I finally started loving me, myself and my outer appearance. I surrendered.

Now, I am sitting here about 9 months later, writing this story while weighing 72 kgs, having done no specific action to achieve that apart from surrendering and trusting. I am still in constant awe about how amazing  God and the Universe work. When you just surrender, give all your trust that they will do what is right for you, it is such a relief. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

I am so looking forward to sharing more of my beautiful and great big manifestation success stories with you. I hope I can inspire you! You can achieve anything!

Much love, Christin
