“If your ‘weighty thinking’ does not change, then even if you lose weight you’ll retain an overwhelming subconscious urge to gain it back. It’s less important how quickly you lose weight, and more important how holistically you lose weight; you want your mind, your emotions, and your body to all ‘lose weight.’ Weight that disappears from your body but not from your soul is simply recycling outward for a while
but is almost certain to return. It’s self-defeating, therefore, to struggle to drop excess weight unless
you are also willing to drop the thought-forms that initially produced it and now hold it in place.”
— Marianne Williamson
What is the connection between spirituality and weight loss? Best-selling author Marianne Williamson is about to answer that question for you in her groundbreaking new book, bringing you 21 spiritual lessons to help you surrender your weight forever. These lessons form a holistic paradigm for weight loss, addressing the spiritual, emotional, and psychological elements involved in what Williamson refers to as “conscious weight loss.” If you are a food addict, a compulsive eater, or someone who for any reason sees food as the enemy, this book is for you.
A Course in Weight Loss addresses the true causal root of your weight-loss issues: a place within you where you have forgotten your divine perfection. This forgetfulness has confused not only your mind but also your body, making you reach for that which cannot sustain you . . . and reject that which does. As your mind reclaims its spiritual intelligence, your body will reclaim its natural intelligence as well.
The 21 lessons in this book will take you on a deep, sacred journey. One step at a time, you will learn to shift your relationship with yourself—and your body—from one of fear to one of love. And you will begin to integrate the various parts of yourself—mind, body, and spirit—to become, once again, and in all ways, the beautiful and peaceful person you were created to be.
As Williamson writes: “When it comes to your enjoyment of eating, your best days are not behind you but ahead of you!” So get ready to begin a new relationship with food . . . and with yourself.
Daily Word for Weight Loss is an inspired addition to the successful Daily Word series. With the power of spirit on your side, you will reach your weight-loss goals-- one day at a time.

Spiritual Secrets to Weight Loss By Kara Davis, MD
The root problem of being overweight or obese is not physical hunger but spiritual hunger. Spiritual Secrets to Weight Loss, organized into an easy-to-use fifty-day format, emphasizes both the physical and spiritual aspects of weight loss and encourages positive health habits and long-term lifestyle changes. This book will:
MOTIVATE people to make changes for better health ENCOURAGE them to stay on the path to permanent weight loss INSTRUCT them with facts and tips on nutrition, diet, and exercise INSPIRE them through the practical application of God's word
Joni Woelfel has been there: She's faced the dreaded scale, debated the merits of the latest fad diet, and struggled to stop the yo-yo effect of dieting. What she has learned is that for all the emphasis on the science of weight loss, the personal and spiritual aspects matter just as much. Our bodies respond to our life stories through our mind/body/spirit connection.
In Craving Hope, Woelfel invites readers on a ninety-day weight loss journey through the challenges, emotions and insights she encountered on her own. Reflections include:
It's All Connected
When Nothing Is Happening
Preventing Roadblocks
Childhood Conditioning
Weightless Grace
Nation of Consumers
While this book is designed to be used in conjunction with a credible weight loss program, Woelfel recommends scientifically sound practices while encouraging readers to explore their relationships to food, exercise, family and God.
An easy to use resource for individuals, Craving Hope is also ideal for small group use and includes discussion questions and group activity suggestions at the end of each of its five parts.
