A Course in Weight Loss

There are only two categories of thoughts—those of love and those of fear—and the only way to transcend fear is to replace it with love. As you identify fear thoughts and then surrender them to Divine Mind, love emerges naturally. When thoughts that lead you to overeat are surrendered, then those that lead you to wholesome eating come forth to take their place.

This course is a way to release them to God.

If I can’t process my sadness, perhaps I can eat my sadness. If I can’t process my anger, perhaps I can eat my anger.

When the weight is gone from your consciousness, it will be gone from your physical experience. In asking God to remove the cause, you automatically remove the effect.

The weight you are seeking to let go of was added to your consciousness before it was added to your body.

Your first lesson focuses on the following visualization: the image of excess weight as a brick wall you are carrying around.

you don’t have the human capacity to fix this problem.

Only the power of love can overcome the power of hate, and make no mistake about it: your unhealthy eating is an act of self-hate.

The only way you can “fail” a lesson is if you punish yourself for failing.

Your body is meant to be a reflection of your spirit, and both your thoughts and your cells will respond to a reminder of their Divine perfection.
