A few months ago I told myself that I could eat anything I wanted and would maintain the "right" weight. It felt so liberating not to have to worry about food anymore. Just turn it over to a higher power; it felt great. I was changing clothes tonight after getting off work. I saw the scales and thought... why not?? I felt so positive and terrific. I weighed in 23 months heavier than I was before I found Abraham.
I forgot all about worrying about food way back when, I forgot all about worrying about the student loans. I asked to maintain a good weight, I asked to receive money to pay off student loans. And now this. I think I made the mistake of perhaps assuming these requests would be answered because I gave them not another thought. I gaged my feelings, asked for guidance and stayed in a sense of appreciation. Tonight, when I weighed myself, I also got to thinking about the money I requested and it hadn't come either. It sorta all came crashing down for me right then. How does one go wrong on this program? Is it wrong to have so much trust and faith that requests will be answered that I didn't give the requests a second thought?
I'm so grateful to have seen that scale when I did. I would have gone more months eating and eating and eating with no stop in sight if I hadn't found it. Other than that, I'm not sure what I feel right now.

Get down and get dirty with it. Feel how you feel. Be open with yourself. Then find a better feeling thought to raise your vibe. We only get what we want when we engage the energy that thought conveys and allow it's reaction to our outer vibration guide us in our relationship with well being. Emotional guidance.
Turning stuff over to the universe is actually a proactive process. When we say I want, the universe says yes it is already yours. Now pay attention to the way you feel and be guided to it. Don't get in the way of it with your reasoning but get involved in the feelings that come as you focus on the things you want and the things that get in the way of what you want will fall away. If you always do what you have always done you will always get what you've always got. You were asking for physical stuff to happen to you so how do you think physical stuff is made? It is made up from the energy that is conveyed through thought. You said you did not think about it after you asked. When you add matter to matter you get more matter. If we engage the energy of our desires we get signals from our IB that reflect how close or far we are from harmony with our true selves. That is how we get what we want. We don't right out a list and put it under our pillow and forget about it. We keep focusing on what is wanted and we take inspired action toward our desire. That action feels good. If it feels good it is good.The universe gives me what I ask for. All I have to do is feel my way to it.
I hope this helps.
Cheers
Simon

Were you feeling good in this period? especially while you were eating? maybe weighing yourself was like taking score too soon. I understand it takes quite some faith to keep going when you see you're going in the wrong direction. And yet I don't see any wrong in your approach, unless your energy didn't match up, that is, unless you were not really focused all along on feeling good. I'm curious to see what the experienced abers will tell you.

I am getting really good at gauging my mood. When I eat, I have no idea why. Not bored, depressed, sad, happy; I just feel nothing. This is bad because if I can't identify the WHY, how can I cure myself? Debt-wise, I was told tonight that I'd have to cough up $4G for a roof in a fortnight; I didn't even stress out. I'm really mellowed out; I am actually a worrier by nature so to NOT worry is huge for me.
I just turned everything over to the Man Upstairs and took my eye off the ball. I assumed that all would be well if I made a request and stayed well mentally. Can't blame anybody but myself. Things will work out though. God helps those who helps themselves. At least I HOPE He does! In the meantime, I'm just so grateful that I have my health, my vehicle runs great and my internship site is close enough that I really don't have to worry about the price of gas too much. All will be well!

Here is a trick that stops me binging on food. Listen carefully ....
eat only for taste...start to reacquaint yourself with your taste buds. Your stomach is not allowing you to experience the joy of the sense of taste.
When that wonderful sensation subsides STOP EATING. your stomach wil still be fed.
EAT anything that excites you but ONLY eat it while it TASTES GOOD.
Chew it play with it and absorb all the goodness and fun before you swallow.
Have Fun with this.
In a nutshell.... don't be so quick to swallow, savour the sensation and you will be amazed at the results.
All I can say is IT WORKS FOR ME.
You can believe me , I'm a musician

Hope this brings you a little relief.

'...every one of you who stands in your body, continues to enhance the experience of the physical body. This is an evolution of a species that is extraordinary. Your bodies are not to be feared. Your bodies are to be revered. Your bodies are to be applauded. Your bodies are to be maybe even amazed at. But they are never to be feared. Your bodies are not vulnerable. They are not fragile. They are resilient. They are flexible. You have the ability to come into alignment again and again and again, and if anyone in the Universe understands that, it's the cells of your body. Befriending your body is the only way we know of coming to understand that your body is resilient and that it knows what to do, and that it will be whatever you ask it to be. But you have to ask it to be that in a place of non-resistance. It's the most significant information that we have ever expressed relative to your physical body and food. You must love your body, and then lovingly give it the food. And when you love your body and lovingly give it the food, it matters not what food you give it.'

If you noticed, Abraham never said that you can overeat and loose weight. They said you can eat all you want and loose weight. The thing is that when you allign your emotions first, your body will adjust and allign itself too to your vision. Your body will want the food amount that will support your new weight. And you won't feel deprived at all.
The trick is to allign first in your mind.

That was very well said Daiva. I'm working on this line too.
so, Bacardistuff, is there anything that happened to you when you began to gain weight? what is bothering you, not about the body, but about your life in general? are you not being who you are, as Sierra would put it? fix that, and your body will naturally regain balance
I've asked myself the same questions and some interesting stuff is coming out

It is fine to take a look back at what got you where you are - but it doesn't really matter in the overall scheme of things. You don't have to "fix that" for anything in particular.Loving yourself first and foremost fixes it all.
The big questions are "Am I loving myself in this moment?" and "What would be the most loving choice now?" As you chose to love yourself more, it will be obvious where you weren't loving yourself before.
In joy, Steph

| I want to share my experience because it started out exactly as you describe what you experienced. I got scared, but I just kept trying, sometimes I'd do processes like focus wheel or using my Universal Manager. Other times I'd just relax and let it go. And I found that little by little, thoughts would come to me that would help. I made it a point not to take action just for the sake of taking action. Then what happened is I'd be guided, like for a week, all I saw was ads for a popular weight loss program - I mean everywhere, cards would fall out of magazines and newspapers, I'd cut out something for my box of things I desire and it would be on the back of the picture of a car or whatever. So I signed up for that. And this just keeps happening. As I go about my daily life, things are put in my path that help. And I have a feeling I"ve never had before all the many times I've lost weight. I feel peace with it all, instead of fear. I've always believed before that I'm really fooling myself, wasting time with trying to be healthy with food. But now I know that's not true. As long as I take my mind off the problem and when it goes there, reach for better feeling thoughts, the eating and weight naturally work the way they should.I hope this helps you keep reaching for better feeling thoughts.

I've been down your highway. I've too thrown up the oars when it came to food. I too gained weight.
I've spent way too much energy on this subject over the years. I'm tired of it and I have decided to stop.
I have decided that I eat healthy. It is done! No more thought. No more worry.
Suddenly my whole eating world has changed. No more junk food. The desire is gone. When I go to a restaurant I order from the Heart Healthy entries. Not because I have to but because that is what I want. I have noticed wonderful things on the salad bar where I eat lunch that have always been there but I've never tried. I have no cravings.
The result is I feel absolutely great. I'm laughing all the time. My partner is always on my case for being quiet and not talking. Not now. I'm talking all the time.
I'm not concerned about regressing because it is done. I am a healthy eater. I only expect to get better and better at it.
Hope this helps.
Janice
