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.
For so many people, whether your addiction is to a substance or merely to a certain way of thinking or acting, a profound humbling occurs when you realize that your problem is bigger than you are. The terror of realizing, even dimly, that you have no control over a self-destructive pattern of behavior—that as much as you would want to, you simply cannot stop—can mark a crucial turning point in your life. At that point, you go in one of two directions: either way, way down, or way, way up. . . .
This book is for you if you know in your heart that you are an addict, and that you are powerless before your addictive behavior. As the title promises, Marianne Williamson looks at weight loss from a spiritual perspective, bringing you 21 lessons that can be done separately or in conjunction with any other serious spiritual path. These 21 lessons are completely separate from anything related to diet or exercise—they will retrain your consciousness in the area of weight in order to break the cycle of overeating, dieting, and shame that rules so many lives. Finally, Marianne has brought you what you’ve been waiting for: help to heal your addiction once and for all!

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
This award-winning book has been praised by some of the leading thinkers of our day. It is perfect for anyone who is tired of going from one failed diet to the next. If you are searching for an alternative to diets and are awakening to the idea that the answers to permanent weight loss and balanced health are not found outside of yourself, this book is for you. What are you really hungering for? Is it love? Comfort? Security? Author Bronwyn Marmo, who has gone from obesity to a healthy body, mind and spirit, says, "Whatever you truly desire in your life, you will never, ever find it in the food!" Rather, it is found when you reflect inward to your innermost source of truth and wisdom. Bronwyn ably leads the way as she shows you how to unlock the answers that lie within you right now.
- You will learn how to make eating a source of pleasure, not guilt.
