I want to share my story with you all. My goal is to help someone with my journey as others have inspired and helped me.

I got The Secret last year, and ended up getting my sister into reading it as well. It has changed my life. I started reading it again a month ago, and bought it for my dad. There are many things that I am very thankful for in my life; family, friends, education, great job, etc., but the one thing I WAS struggling with was my weight. I am 5’0 and used to weigh 178. I tried different things but it would lose its effect and I would fall into a pit of despair and anti-social behavior. But I don’t want to dwell on the way I felt, but rather the way I am so grateful today…

I started visualizing my perfect weight, and had pictures of my perfect figure everywhere around my house. 117 pounds was seen written beside the pictures of the perfect figure. My cousin’s wedding was coming up in a month, and I imagined that I was going to attend in the form of my perfect self. I bought a dress in the size of my goal – 3. I hung it on my bedroom door and looked at it every day. I imagined myself wearing and feeling absolutely content and gorgeous. I was going to cut my hair the night before I flew out, really short, and made an appointment. I knew at my goal weight my face would look perfect with a short do. When I thought about my short hair I was envisioning it at my perfect weight.

I told myself that I could eat whatever I wanted and lose two pounds every night in my sleep, and even wrote it for every day on my calendar. This happened for a week, and I began to get discouraged when I didn’t feel results, but I believed.

I searched The Secret stories for advice and inspiration. I came across one about a woman who believed and visualized her new apartment but nothing would happen. Then she started realizing that she was not behaving like it was in the “now”, so she packed her things and within three weeks found the most wonderful apartment. Well, after I read that my eyes got real big. This was the missing part of it all.

So what did I do… I took out all the clothes that I had in storage containers for when I would be “skinny”, and hung them in my drawers. I put the other clothes in a bag on my closet floor. I hung up all the clothes that I BELIEVED I would wear shortly. After that I released it into the universe and just let it go without doubt. I honestly believed I had done my part of the process, and ate whatever I wanted with the internal belief that it would help me lose weight.

What can I tell you except that at my cousin’s wedding four weeks later I was utterly in my perfect form, with a beautiful short hairdo wearing my beautiful size 3 dress.

I am so happy and satisfied. I know that I am as beautiful on the outside as I am on the inside. I do not let any doubts creep into my mind anymore, and just live in the perfect size doing the perfect things that I want. I eat anything and everything that I like, without psyching myself out by using my thoughts negatively (I eat veggies and fruit as well, but in my eyes they are all the same… fueling my body and helping me stay my perfect form).

I cannot thank you Rhonda enough for helping so many people find what fits for them. I really hope that my story can help inspire at least one other person who is feeling down. Just trust me – if you see it, believe it, and act like it’s in the now, the universe will bring it to you gift wrapped and all.

Bless you all, and live in the perfect NOW.
