Marianne Williamson Helps the Women of WISH Surrender Their Excess Weight Forever

Okay, so who wouldn’t be excited to have the chance to sit down and engage in a conversation with Marianne Williamson? She was a lot more playful and frisky than I had imagined and we had a fabulous conversation.

If you’ve ever found yourself looking for love in a hot fudge sundae, or have ridden the roller coaster of obsessive calorie counting and food restriction, only to keep ending up right back where you started, then this call is for you.

You see it’s not the pounds you need to melt, but a wall of stress, shame, fear, anger, and  self-hatred that you’ve built. And the only way it’s coming down is by having the courage and commitment to love yourself enough and to move toward an honest and empowered relationship with your food, your body and yourself.

It’s time to put down your fork and pick up a book called “A Course in Weight Loss” by Marianne Williamson and listen in to this call with her as she guides you through the first steps of surrendering your excess weight forever.

Here are a few of the key things she discusses in this call:

As a group of women, when we look down at the size of thighs or  the width of our hips, we feel anger towards ourselves. We feel contempt, disgust about the size and shape of our bodies. Standing in a place like this, where do we begin a spiritual journey of weight loss.

The cause and effect relationship between you and your food, & you and your body.

The not-so surprising correlation between the fact that many who suffer in their relationship with food, or with their bodies have earlier trauma of a sexual nature in their past.

Practical rituals to retrain the mind and body to behave in ways that support you. (No more secret eating.)

Learn how rebuilding a loving relationship with our food starts with the simplicity of a napkin.

What it takes to be able to feel our feelings instead of eat our way through them.

Even though this is a still a journey of weight loss, can you talk to us about how the goal is not necessarily about trying to achieve an acceptable size, or feeling good about the shape of our bodies, but something much greater.

Marianne Williamson is an internationally acclaimed spiritual teacher. Her latest book, The Age of Miracles hit #2 on the New York Times Bestseller list. Among her other 9 published books, four of them — including A Return to Love – were #1 New York Times Bestsellers. A Return to Love is considered a must-read of The New Spirituality. A paragraph from that book, beginning “Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure” – often misattributed to Nelson Mandela’s Inaugural address – is considered an anthem for a contemporary generation of seekers.
