Living Thin From Within

Top 10 Beliefs of 2009 About Losing Weight That We Must Shed in 2010

2010-01-05T15:55:00.004-07:00

Did you know that in order to change your weight, you must first change your mind?

Why, you ask?

When you go on a diet, you set yourself up to fail because you automatically make a diet a temporary event. “I will diet until I fit into my wedding dress.” “I will diet until I go to the Bahamas in March”. These are all temporary goals, versus lifetime goals. Living slim is not a temporary fix, it’s a life time and a program that addresses your mind, body and spirit.

Our eating habits are the physical manifestation of your beliefs and our beliefs are merely thoughts we have had over and over and over. If your thoughts remain the same – so will your weight.

Diets focus on the wrong thing – food

Here are the Top 10 Beliefs of 2009 About Losing Weight That We Must Shed in 2010

10. “It’s a genetic thing.”

Some of the most beautiful models in the world come from very average looking parents. Some of the largest parents have the smallest kids and some siblings are much larger then other siblings. If you think it’s about genes, just look around you. There may be a small genetic component, but in order to change your weight, you must first change your mind.

9. “I’m too old.”

Okay, I’m not going to lie. I do see changes in my body from going from my teens, to mid 20’s to mid 30’s, but using age as an excuse from looking fabulous? No way! You can look good and feel fabulous at any age. Head to the mall right now and check out all the people your age. I bet you’ll see a whole slew of beautiful men and women in your age bracket. Don’t waste another minute thinking your age is holding you back from living in the body you deserve?

8. “It’s too hard.”

I know. It can seem really hard to lose weight if you don’t have the right tools. Yet carrying around the belief that it’s hard, will make it that much harder. Your eating habits are the physical manifestation of your beliefs and if you believe it’s hard to slim down, you better believe it will. Make it easy. Make it fun. Make it joyous, and it will be.

7. “In order to lose weight you must exercise”

There are gobs of naturally thin men and women out there who have never stepped foot in a gym. I’m not saying exercise isn’t great, but it’s only wonderful when it comes from a place of joy and inspiration.

6. “I don’t have time.”

Your health is the only thing you MUST have time for! If you don’t make time for your health, you won’t be here. Obesity related diseases like heart disease, CHF, high blood pressure, hypertension will take your life. Slimming down doesn’t have to take hours a day, but it does take making a DECISION.

5. “I know what to do, but can’t seem to do it.”

Hello…Here I am! I’m here to help you – I offer support for as low as $19.95 a month and as high as $300/month and everything in between. Whether you gain support from me or someone else, find it and take advantage of it. Build into your life some accountability. Whether it’s coaching, membership sites, forums, tracking sites, a buddy system, it doesn’t matter.

4. “It’s too expensive to lose weight.”

I get that there can be a price tag on losing weight, but when you learn how to live slim, you’re done. No pills to stay on, no diet foods to maintain, nothing! Just you and your thin mind and body. Again, I’ve made it very affordable to lose weight. There are people within my membership site who have lost 60 pounds over the last months – spending just $5 a week. If you have the money to buy a $5 foot long sub at Subway every week, then you have the money to sign up for the membership site. Yes, there are more expensive options, but who cares! You’re worth it and there’s nothing more worthy then investing in your health.

3. “A non-diet approach doesn’t work.”

For over 70% of people I work with, this approach works. Does it mean that there are some people it doesn’t work for? Yes! Most of those people are people who are more attached to dieting, counting calories, talking about the type of food they ate during the day, or using self-talk to convince them to eat foods when not hungry, or are still swimming around in their emotional turmoil without wanting to look inward. This work is not just about a non-diet approach. It’s also about changing your mind.

If you want six pack abs and muscles popping out of your neck, then maybe a non-diet approach isn’t the right thing for you. Counting calories, dropping eggs into blenders, and throwing whey into the blender may be more your cup of tea.

However, if you want peace of mind, the ability to eat a variety of foods and find comfort within your body, then you’re heading in the right direction. You deserve to feel healthy and alive in your body. You deserve it and you can have it!

2. “Emotional eating is impossible to get rid of.”

Is it? I have lots of strategies that work for most people. It’s not impossible unless you decide it is. Yes, you will need focus and the right tools, but please don’t use your emotional eating as an excuse for not slimming down. It’s simply not true.

AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST…DRUM ROLL PLEASE….

1. “Monday I’m going to start the buffalo, grapefruit, high-fat, low-fat diet.”

Just throw out all these stupid diets in magazines that guarantee 30-pounds in five minutes. Give me a break! This is not about dieting or how many push-ups you can do. Don’t wait for someday, Monday, Friday or whatever day. Start today. Begin today and don’t wait. Do one tiny thing to move your weight and body in a new direction today. Something “to go on” means you also have to “go off” of it. Living thin is something you want to do for your entire life – the rest of your life!

Mindful Eating

2009-12-14T01:53:00.004-07:00

I recently came across a great article on mindful eating that I thought you would enjoy - especially those of you taking my Breaking Free From Mindless Eating Course.

I love Thich Nhat Hanh and I have enjoyed seeing him live here in Denver.

I hope you enjoy this article:

Mindful Eating
by Thich Nhat Hanh

Mindful eating is very pleasant. We sit beautifully. We are aware of the people that are sitting around us. We are aware of the food on our plates. This is a deep practice. Each morsel of food is an ambassador from the cosmos. When we pick up a piece of a vegetable, we look at it for half a second. We look mindfully to really recognize the piece of food, the piece of carrot or string bean. We should know that this is a piece of carrot or a string bean. We identify it with our mindfulness: "I know this is a piece of carrot. This is a piece of string bean." It only takes a fraction of a second.

When we are mindful, we recognize what we are picking up. When we put it into our mouth, we know what we are putting into our mouth. When we chew it, we know what we are chewing. It's very simple.

Some of us, while looking at a piece of carrot, can see the whole cosmos in it, can see the sunshine in it, can see the earth in it. It has come from the whole cosmos for our nourishment.

You may like to smile to it before you put it in your mouth. When you chew it, you are aware that you are chewing a piece of carrot. Don't put anything else into your mouth, like your projects, your worries, your fear, just put the carrot in.

And when you chew, chew only the carrot, not your projects or your ideas. You are capable of living in the present moment, in the here and the now. It is simple, but you need some training to just enjoy the piece of carrot. This is a miracle.

I often teach "orange meditation" to my students. We spend time sitting together, each enjoying an orange. Placing the orange on the palm of our hand, we look at it while breathing in and out, so that the orange becomes a reality. If we are not here, totally present, the orange isn't here either.

There are some people who eat an orange but don't really eat it. They eat their sorrow, fear, anger, past, and future. They are not really present, with body and mind united.

When you practice mindful breathing, you become truly present. If you are here, life is also here. The orange is the ambassador of life. When you look at the orange, you discover that it is nothing less than fruit growing, turning yellow, becoming orange, the acid becoming sugar. The orange tree took time to create this masterpiece.

When you are truly here, contemplating the orange, breathing and smiling, the orange becomes a miracle. It is enough to bring you a lot of happiness. You peel the orange, smell it, take a section, and put it in your mouth mindfully, fully aware of the juice on your tongue. This is eating an orange in mindfulness. It makes the miracle of life possible. It makes joy possible.

The other miracle is the Sangha, the community in which everyone is practicing in the same way. The woman sitting next to me is also practicing mindfulness while eating her breakfast. How wonderful! She is touching the food with mindfulness. She is enjoying every morsel of her breakfast, like me. We are brother and sister on the path of practice. From time to time we look at each other and smile. It is the smile of awareness. It proves that we are happy, that we are alive. It is not a diplomatic smile. It is a smile born from the ground of enlightenment, of happiness.

That smile has the power to heal. It can heal you and your friend. When you smile like that, the woman next to you will smile back. Before that, maybe her smile was not completely ripe. It was ninety percent ripe. If you offer her your mindful smile, you will give her the energy to smile one hundred percent.

When she is smiling, healing begins to take place in her. You are very important for her transformation and healing. That is why the presence of brothers and sisters in the practice is so important. This is also why we don't talk during breakfast. If we talk about the weather or the political situation in the Middle East, we can never say enough.

We need the silence to enjoy our own presence and the presence of our Dharma brothers and sisters. This kind of silence is very alive, powerful, nourishing, and transforming. It is not oppressive or sad. Together we can create this kind of noble silence.

Sometimes it is described as "thundering silence" because it is so powerful.

Here's How to Make An Impact On Your Body In a Big Way

2009-12-09T11:21:00.005-07:00

Have you ever wished your slimming efforts would work like this? ...

* You decide you want to slim down and in just days, you weigh exactly what you desire in your sleep

* It’s easy

* You hear daily how wonderful you look in your “new” body

* You NEVER have to worry about getting down to your ideal weight again because you know exactly what to do to keep it off permanently!

* You never think fat thoughts because there's no need

* All of your time is spent loving and honoring your body, your body is an inspiration to others and they want to know your secret

It may be possible to be in this place. Unfortunately, you’re not and it feels highly un-likely that you can count on it.

Now...

If you can relate to this ''dream'' body set-up, you’re not alone. In fact, many men and women have this''secret body fantasy'' of not having to do anything to slim down! But...

As someone who’s struggled with weight and seen the light, you and I are similar. You deserve to enjoy ''your ideal body'' and show it off to the world. It makes a difference in how you look and feel because you know that it’s healthier and looks better. And when you start slimming down, you feel that!

But, if you only lose a few pounds, then you’re really not where you desire. Now...

If you really want to make an impact on your body in a big way, then there's something you must look at ina new way. –Body Love! But *NOT* because of how it will help you get slim down. Let me explain..

You see, most people find it hard to gush over their bodies in a positive way, and I totally understand that. Most of the reasons you might not like your body could be because you were taught to do weak or ''faulty'' body loving self-talk methods that don't work, or work poorly.

But, I want to challenge you to think aboutloving your body in a different way and for different reasons.

You deserve absolutely everything in your life, and your job is to ''facilitate your own personal growth and change''. What you may not realize is that body-love can facilitate pounds falling off in and of itself! Let me back up a step here...

Body love facilitates your mind and emotions to feel joy and happiness for your body. Exercise, certain foods you eat, friends all around can help facility body-love.

Yet you are in the driver’s seat.

Here are a few quick, personal examples:

1) I had a client who began the practice of standing in front of the mirror daily as she spoke lovingly toward her body for a few minutes. After a month she began to really feel loving feelings toward her body and her weight transformed. She loved her weight off!

2) Another client lovingly looked at her food before meals saying “Food – I am so grateful to eat you. I love you so much and you nourish my body in the most beautiful way you can. Thank you.” She would then close her eyes and feel gratitude enter her body. After a few weeks, she was 10 pounds lighter.

3) I have a program on ''using the law of attraction to slim down'' and I hear people tell me that they feel a major shift from it!

And, what’s cool is...

In all of these examples no one was focused on what they were eating, but a “transformation” occurred by being in thespace of “body love”.

Body love makes a difference in the world because what you say to your body matters. Your friends will be infected, your children will be infected, and your significant other will be infected. Everyone will be inspired by this self-love and will want to be more loving to their bodies just because of how you are in the world with yours.

Does this mean that you aren’t intending and wanting to see thinner results?

Of course you can still keep becoming naturally thin.

And your body will thank you every day when you listen and honor it in the ThinWithin fashion I teach. But...

You’re your body-loving work can do BOTH. They can help your mind AND generate results in how you feel and look!

Here are some quick ''shifts'' to the way you think about your body that can make getting results more fun, and make you far more effective in loving your body.

1) Start looking at your body as a gift.Of course you want results, but the more you focus on loving your body in a way that creates value for you and the world, the more you'll *feel great about your body*. The more you feel great about it, the more you'll continue to look at your body as a gift!

2) To be great at loving your body, you need to understandyour body. The best way to gain understanding is to realize that your body is a living and breathing entity that needs your attention, your focus and your support. If you ''get''that it serves you 100%, all the time - you will deepen your body-loving bond.

3) Inspire people with your body-love! By speaking lovingly and kindly about your body, people around you will see what is possible through you.

4) Great body-love is about ACTION. Focus on creating the connection to your body that gets you into action. Partof that action might be to do something different, or in a different way or to finally get off your butt and actually ''go for it''.

5) ''GET'' that when you spend just a little time loving your body and throwing energy into how beautiful and wonderful you are, you win for your body ''BIG TIME''. If you've ever felt badly when standing in front of the mirror, part of the reason probably has to do with overlooking how much impact your view of your body has on yourself esteem and how you feel every single day. When you feel great, your body and your weight ''win''!

BOTTOM LINE: Body-love, done well and done consistently, adds value to your body and your life – while influencing the group of people you surround yourself with.

Remember, you deserve the best. Let'sget you results! and if you'd like to receive this bolster of motivation on an ongoing basis go to ThinWithinU.

I Peed In My Pants and My Socks Are Getting Harder to Put On

2009-12-04T14:46:00.009-07:00

At almost 26 weeks pregnant, it's true...my young, youthful bladder decided to go sour on me last night.

I sneezed and wet my pants - something I heard that happens to some women, but could never understand. Well ladies and gentlemen, I now understand!

...and all I can say is "Oh my goodness! What is this little girl doing to me?"

My husband thought it was too funny and decided to take a picture of me in my pajamas. I can't believe I'm showing you this, but hey, I've shared all my weight struggles and successes with you over the years, why wouldn't I share a picture of me in my PJs with you?

Something else has changed. It's definitely getting harder to put on my socks. I've been darn good at working out during my pregnancy, but bending is definitely becoming more of a challenge. I typically workout between 3-5 times a week either walking, lifting weights, but mainly doing interval training on the stairmaster for 30 minutes just to keep up my cardio strength and make it easier to slim down after I deliver (you will be hearing all about it I'm sure).

I've noticed that as I continue to gain weight (I'm up 18 pounds), this added weight stuff is rough. If you, my friend, are finding yourself out of breath when climbing one flight of stairs, or feeling pain in your knees or back from the added strain of your weight, you have got to do something about it! It's not okay that you feel this way and it's really unhealthy.

I love being pregnant, but I can't believe the difference 18 pounds makes!! It makes me feel for every one of you who's carrying around some extra pounds. Get it off! You will feel lighter and leaner and more comfortable. Losing 20 pounds will make a huge difference! For me it's the difference between feeling lighter and thinner versus slower and heavier. Maybe the difference for you is 50 pounds or 90 pounds or 5 pounds...I'm not sure, but what I do know is this...a healthy weight changes not only how you look, but how you move around physically in your life.

Men, if you're carrying a bowling ball in front like I am right now, woah...it's rough. It's hard to put socks on, pick up a dropped napkin from the floor or get up from a seated position. It's not easy and I feel for you! Take charge of your health and start getting some weight off. My 30-Day Blaster Challenge is among favorites, so that may work. If you're super lazy and cheap, just grab my Thin You, Within You Guided Meditation and listen, it does a lot of the work for you!

The other wonderful thing that I'm excited to share with you is that I've begun feeling her kick and move around like crazy. Over the past three weeks, it's become noticeable and frequent and I love it - it's like having my own personal little buddy with me all the time. What a magical and miraculous gift to have this little baby growing in my belly.

Next week is my glucose test and then I'm into my 3rd trimester - I hope that doesn't mean more peeing in my pants, but if it does, she's well worth it.

Have a wonderful weekend and do one kind and loving thing for your body this weekend - I'll be on the stairmaster peeing in my pants...(just kidding but I hope I made you smile).

Metabolism - From Abraham

2009-11-24T06:06:00.001-07:00

I thought this was a fun quote from Abraham that I found in my email today. Hopefully you will like it too:

Metabolism is vibrational response to your moment in time. Metabolism is the way the Energy is moving through your body. And so, everything is in response to the way you feel -- everything is. Everything is mind over matter. Every disease is mental first. Everything is about thought. Everything is about vibration. Everything is about the way you feel. Practice scenarios that feel good--and never mind reality. Reality is only a brief moment in time that you keep repeating.
--- Abraham

You Won't Gain A Pound This Thanksgiving - Here's Why

2009-11-20T18:47:00.004-07:00

It's Thanksgiving time where we enjoy yummy homemade pies and aromas that fill our homes.
It's also a time of year where I see my weight loss coaching business skyrocket due to fears, negative self-talk, and increased weight gain.

Here's what I have for you to get you through Thanksgiving:

EAT!! Delicious Thanksgiving food is not just for the skinny! No, no, no. It's for you too.

There's a tendency to think you can't eat these foods or you'll pack on 3-5 pounds. Well let me tell you, if you're eating ThinWithin.com style, you'll have no problem. Why? Because if you've been part of ThinWithinU or ThinWithin.com you know that you can't pack on pounds unless you're overeating, binge eating, eating for emotional reasons or NOT listening to your body.

AND since you know how to knock those behaviors off while becoming naturally gorgeous (and if you don't know how to kick overeating, binge eating and emotional eating in the tush then we've got to talk...run to become a member of ThinWithinU and start tuning in to my classes) then just go out and eat like the thin do. They don't think twice about Thanksgiving.

I'm going to do this...I'm going to ask my husband a few questions...he's 1000% NATURALLY THIN and I learn from tons from him every day....

"Hey Josh, are you worried about gaining weight over Thanksgiving?"

- "NO"

"Do you think you'll gain weight this Thanksgiving?"

-"NO"

"Are you going to eat Thanksgiving foods and desserts?"

-"Probably - I guess it depends what we end up doing and how hungry I am."

"Do you even like Thanksgiving foods?"

-"Yeah. I love mashed potatoes, pies, turkey, stuffing, all of it really."

"Thanks for answering those questions - go back to doing what you were doing."

Even though I asked him in the middle of something (thus the ever-so-short
responses), you can see how it's not even a thought in his head. He'll eat as a skinny person and that's that. Nothing more.

Stop worrying about added pounds, added weight - or guess what, YOU WILL GAIN WEIGHT and I don't want you to do that.

Let Thanksgiving be about honoring your body and living thin. Think thin and you will do just great. Just incorporate all the thin ways that I've been teaching you for years and if you aren't sure how to get thin or think thin or live thin, I'm happy to offer those of you serious about receiving coaching, a free coaching session.

Wishing you and your families a bright, beautiful and slim Thanksgiving!

Inspired Weight Loss

2009-11-16T13:38:00.002-07:00

I’m not sure if you watched Oprah the other day, butI had to write about inspired weight loss after hearing who she had on.

The other day she had on Stephenie Meyer, the author of all the incredibly-popular Twilight book series turned movie series.

Stephenie had never written a book, a short-story or novel. Yet out of sheer inspiration she began writing and writing and writing. She didn’t even tell her husband what she was doing because she felt he wouldn’t understand her writing about vampires for the sake of inspiration and imagination. Amazing things happen to people when they work out of inspiration!

I've heard countless success stories that seem like "accidents" but are successes out of inspiration. Inspired weight loss is no different! When you’re in the weight loss zone, the writing zone, the manifestation zone, the business growth zone, or whatever space in your life you are coming from out of inspiration – things just work.

When I created the 30-Day Blaster Challenge it was effortless, it came from inspiration and it’s my top selling product.

For the last 16 years I've been inspired to understand the inner workings of the thin. I'm so inspired by them that it's been effortless for me to learn from them and then personally following suit to see my body slim down. It's all been out of total inspiration. Deep inside of me I just knew this was the way. I knew it made sense and I knew I could lose weight this way – so I did!

There’s a part of your life where you are living by inspired action and things just work for you. Maybe it’s work, maybe it’s school, maybe it’s your marriage, maybe it’s your self-confidence, maybe it’s that you’re an incredible business owner, or maybe you attract wealth wherever you go.

I hope you know that you can enjoy inspired weight loss too. Your body is the most magical and incredible machine ever! Pair it with your mind and watch out!

So the big question is....are you inspired?

I hope on Wednesday I’ll give you something to be inspired about on my FREE call. My intention is to get you feeling inspired to take action, see results and have it be an effortless process.

Join me and begin your journey to experience inspired rapid weight loss.

Do You Attract or Repel Thinness?

2009-11-11T11:58:00.006-07:00

I’m fascinated by the naturally thin.

Over the years I've seen that the naturally thin attract thinness without even knowing it!

They do this through their thoughts, words, actions, beliefs which all work harmoniously like a beautiful symphonty to thinness.

I can honestly say that it's a glorious experience when I'm in harmony and a horrible experience
when I'm not!

Through my own experience and struggle with weight, I've learned that at my heaviest: my thoughts about my body were negative, my words were more body-bashing than loving, and my beliefs about being thin was often hopeless and mostly negative. I was also overeating two out of every three meals, so my actions were also out of wack with being thin.

Where are you finding yourself in all of this?

I've found since that time, that any time one of these areas is out of wack - POW, some pounds come rolling back. I'm convinced that it's the Universe's way of telling me that I'm not out of alignment with my thin self - so knock it off!

Learning from the naturally thin is what it's all about! It will transform your life to take on their words, beliefs, and thoughts. These changes have allowed me and countless others to enjoy smaller bodies.

I'm excited to offer a FREE weight loss class sharing my learnings so you can begin your
journey to slim down and feel your best.

Join me on Wednesday, November 18th for a **FREE** call at 6:00 PT/9:00 ET.

I will explain and inspire you to…
1. Learn why diets are just adding to the problem.
2. Learn the two main ingredients you need at every meal.
3. Learn how your mind may be keeping you overweight.
4. Learn 5 key secrets the thin know, that will transform your life.

My focus will be to have you experience rapid weight loss results, and this
call will be your first step to experience your thinness!

Breaking Free From Mindless and Emotional Eating

2009-11-04T15:21:00.004-07:00

I've been working like a dog today and having so much fun!

If you don't love what you do, you gotta find a better job. There's nothing I enjoy more then thinking about all the fun ways I can help people transform their bodies and lives for the better.

I've been working on my logo for the new seminar coming up - here it is:

If you have no idea what class I'm talking about, then you've got to go here.

Monday we're going to blast through any mindless or emotional eating tendencies. We're going to explore what is going and get to the core of this.

So many people want a different relationship with food, but don't know where to start. They start off saying "today's going to be a good food day" and then a few hours later they hunt for something sweet.

The HUNT is what we've got to look at...

If you'd like me to help you hunt for what's going on, don't miss out. Join us.

My Head Is Spinning

2009-11-02T16:25:00.003-07:00

For all of you mothers and fathers out there who have had to figure out what in the world to purchase your baby, I commend you - it’s no easy task when you have absolutely no idea
what to do.

My head is spinning with all the advice, information and stuff out there regarding what to purchase and what not to purchase.

I had no idea there could be so many things to think about. And by the way, who knew car seats, bedding, and strollers are so expensive? Wowsers!!

This weekend my husband and I strolled into Babies R’ Us to register. After three hours and so much stuff pushed into our brains we were numb.

I then spent three more hours on the internet later that evening researching bedding, until I found the one I love….

I'm showing it to you, but please don’t tell me you don’t like it, just agree that it’s fabulous!

http://www.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=40255&vid=1&pid=580772

However I would love to know your opinion looking at the bedding what you think I should paint the room.

Any of you designers out there – please let me know! The crib looks like this:

Yesterday we had places to go, and thank goodness for the warmth and patience of my wonderful husband! He’s amazing.

We got up, ate some breakfast (I had oatmeal if you must know – with bananas and agave)

Then we took the dogs to the park and ran them around…then off to shopping where we went to Bed Bath and Beyond, The Gap, the mall, Joanne’s Fabric, the paint store, Sports Authority, and then I wanted to fall over aching feet.

Yesterday I was wearing my boots because I was playing in the snow in the morning with my dogs.

By midday I was craving my favorite shoes….

For all of you pregnant women out there…or not pregnant…if you haven’t purchased a pair of Dansko shoes, I highly recommend doing so. They won’t win any beauty contests, but they are wonderful.

If you have weak or wobbly ankles, then don’t take may advice,
because I do tend to fall on my ankles on them from time to time.

These are my slip-on faves, and yesterday I was aching for them.

So that’s where I’m at.

Oh, and if you haven’t signed up for the seminar and support group I’m offering next week on breaking free from emotional eating or mindless eating, what are you waiting for?

No excuses, just action!

Weight Loss Success Is Based On Your Mind

Your success to slim down entirely depend on how well you support your mind.

You know that obsessing about your body and weight is time consuming and only leads to heart break and pain, right? So knock it off. You must also knock off any obsessive dieting which only creates deprivation and increased frustration. Being thin and relaxed is a possibility - a great one if you know what to do...

The KEY: Transforming your mind!

There are lots of excuses out there like:
*"It's my genetics"
*"I'm overweight because I don't have time to go to the gym."
*"I'm just big boned and heavy."
*"I just love food."

I know them all, I used to have them too. Occassionally, I'll find them still trickling back into my mind - but now I kick them out fast!!

If you don't know how to kick your fat thoughts out of your mind, they will smother your life, make you fat and you'll find yourself depressed on the couch, with no energy, out of breath and unhealthy. Yep, I've been there...it's no fun! Thin and happy is way better.

Those "fat" thoughts can be so powerful they will sabotage anything good that you put in their way.

That's why becoming thin long-term has got to include MIND TRANSFORMATION!

My system is based on understanding addiction, food, and our minds. My model is based on actually helping people to transform their beliefs, to take action, and align their bodies with being naturally thin.

Every day I get emails from people in the diet community and they wonder how I continue to have a thriving practice, when most of their business is drying up...

Why?

Because people are sick of dieting, sweating buckets and seeing no results, and wasting time counting calories. I know something they don't.

Breaking free from diets work!

Intuitively you know it to. You know that you don't have to diet forever to stay thin. You were probably thin at some point and you maintained it easily and effortlessly. Yeah, so you know dieting is hogwash.

Yes, there are changes that must be made, but it's not all food related. It's MIND related.

Dieting can be over for your life and those nasty thoughts can be diminished and stomped
out. Even if they keep coming back!

I haven't done a support group in a very long time. Our last one was so bonded, that we
stuck together for over 5 months. We'll see about this next one...

I am offering a support group that will meet every other week for the next few months and
then we'll assess where everyone is at and how you are doing.

The price is insanely reasonable too!!

The Belly Is Growing and I Feel Great About It

2009-10-19T14:08:00.002-07:00

I'm almost half way through my pregnancy! We're at 19 weeks and I can't wait to have my 20 week ultrasound next Wednesday.

You will be happy to know that I've settled into pregnancy nicely. I'm enjoying my fun new clothes, which I've purchased from the Gap, Motherhood Maternity and A Pea in the Pod. A few wonderful friends have allowed me to borrow some cute shirts and pants too - and now that I'm really showing, its pretty darn fun having this cute little belly!

What I'm learning is that an important part of pregnancy is embracing my body and it's changes. My belly button isn't looking the same and neither really is any part of my belly. At first I became wider and now I'm just growing belly-out. I'm having fun with it, my husband is adoring it, and I'm now feeling some cute fluttering here and there too.

A few times this week I've felt overly full eating ice cream when I really wasn't hungry enough to enjoy it fully. Just like with my "normal" not-pregnant thinwithin eating, I am still eating thin. I make sure that I eat when I'm hungry and stop when I'm no longer hungry. Yes, the hunger is more often, but the signals are just the same. The few times I've felt overly full this week, has not felt great and I need to stop it. I hate that feeling and that hate motivates me not to overeat. Any overeating makes me feel really uncomfortable and just can't be good for me or the baby!

If you've been like me and had a week where you ate a few times more than what you needed to eat, let's all choose to honor our bodies a smidge better this week. We can do it!

How are you all doing with managing any overeating tendencies?

Exciting News

2009-09-14T12:24:00.001-07:00

I have some exciting news!

I am 14 weeks pregnant and am now joyfully heading into my second trimester after many days of nausea, vomiting and exhaustion. With this great joy, I have to tell you, it hasn’t been as easy for me to accept my growing and changing body.

As someone who has struggled with weight and then lost weight for many years, it’s very strange to see the scale climbing. I recognize that I’ve only gained 3.5 pounds so far, but my waist…well, what waist really?

I now feel for all the women out there who have been pregnant and had their bodies change. Or maybe you’ve never been pregnant or you’re a man, but your body has grown or changed over time. I now really feel for any pain you’ve been going through.

So where is the power in all of our changing bodies?

I was talking to my friend last night, who also happens to be pregnant. We were sharing our worries and fears…and then suddenly I said. “What difference does it make if I worry about my growing body?”

The answer is, “it doesn’t make any difference at all!” I shouted out in glee. It doesn’t matter if I worry like crazy or not. My body will change – it’s a given for a healthy pregnancy.

Your body will change with age – it’s a given.

But are you going to sit there like I was and wine about it? If so, it won’t change a thing right?

How about doing this….1. Wear beautiful undergarments that make you feel sexy and beautiful. 2. Find some lifting and tucking undergarments that make you feel your best in your clothes.
3. Speaking of clothes, look down at yourself right now. Do it! What clothes are you wearing? Do you feel fabulous in them?
4. Use your mind to and words to say as kind and loving words about your body, who you are the person you have become. .

Our bodies change, yes! Some grow larger and some shrink smaller. That’s good news. We can change it!The worry, the mental battle, the fight within is all just a game. A game I’m working very hard not to play right now. I am going to expect the best from my body, I’m going to treat it as the precious gem that it is, and nourish it and listen to it, feed it and move it….and grow this precious little baby inside of me.

….I’m also going to accept the changes, accept the added pounds and do my very best to stay positive and kind to myself.Try accepting yours today, even if it’s just for a second!

To your gem of a body,

Marna

Discover 4 Reason Why You Must Toss Your Diet Books Today

2009-08-17T11:33:00.002-07:00

Are you still a slave to diets after everything I’ve taught you? Is it still hard for you to pass up the latest and greatest new diet book or grab the magazine with the fastest ways to beat the flab?

Well, if you are still tempted, you should know that dieting mostly aids in gaining weight. When you shift from “I can’t eat this” to “I can eat whatever I want” everything about how you experience food changes. Here are four big shifts that begin to take place immediately when you come out of the diet mentality and begin allowing a plethora of foods into your life:

1. Instantly You Feel Free
There is an immediate sense of freedom when you stop dieting. Diets are like experiencing the world handcuffed. Everywhere you go, you feel like there are these wonderful foods out there that you want to taste, textures to be enjoyed, and delicacies to try. Yet, as great as these all sound, your handcuffs keep you from this freedom. Once you stop dieting, it’s like throwing your diet handcuffs off of your life, and it’s one of the best freedoms ever! People that have moved into this freedom share with me continuously how amazing they feel, how exciting it is and what a joy this newfound experience with food is.

2. Immediately Any Negative Self-Talk Lessens. The restrictions and conflicting voices in your mind relax the second you begin to rid the diet mentality. All your thoughts about what you can or should eat calms as your mind experiences the joy of food in a “can eat” fashion. Your mind no longer needs to work overtime to keep you “on track,” and all that you needed to keep you in line, lessens significantly as you gain the privilege to experience the great variety of foods that work best for your body.

3. Instantly Meals Become More Fulfilling
When you choose what you desire most at each meal, the meal experience comes from a place of abundance versus lack. This abundance transcends into greater fulfillment. You no longer have to choose from a list of what you can or should eat. Rather, you choose from the entire food-list of the Universe based on taste, what feels best in your body, and what makes your body function optimally. Eating in this fashion allows for meals to become more fulfilling and absolutely delicious.

4. Any Overeating Will Automatically Begin To Decrease
When you give up diets permanently, overeating tendencies decrease. Overeating occurs when the food you eat is so good that you fear you may never eat it again, or when you repeatedly feel lack during meals. Eating foods you love eliminates this experience of lack. When you begin to eat your favorite chocolate dessert and know you can eat them regularly (don’t worry – you won’t choose it for every meal), then there’s no need to overeat. None!

Really consider if dieting is working for both your mind and your body. If it’s not, then consider ridding the diet mentality forever. If you need added support from me to do so, I’d love to help. Whether it is through coaching, my ThinWithinU community, or through the 30-Day Blaster Challenge, I would love to get you feeling and looking your best.

Why ThinWithin.com and a Non-Diet Approach Works

Hate Going to the Gym? Here’s What the Thin Do…

2009-08-10T12:26:00.000-07:00

If you’ve been trying to hit the gym, but it’s been painful getting there; in fact, you can’t really remember the last time you worked out, then listen up… there’s a reason.

The naturally thin (typically) can’t be found pushing it on elliptical machines, lifting weights or are even aware of calorie burn.

Why? Because they don’t see working out at the gym all that much fun. Now, this is not every single naturally thin person. Some naturally thin people hit they gym to do 30 minutes on the elliptical or lift weights. What’s important to understand however, is their motivation.

In researching loads of these naturally thin-minded folks, it’s clear that movement is part of their life, yet in all cases it’s about the “enjoyment factor”.

Let’s take my husband Josh, who epitomizes the naturally thin mindset and body. He’s not all that in to going to the gym, but get out of his way when it comes to his hockey games each week. He loves the challenge, the game, the fun and everything about it. He’s not into calorie burn, how much fat flew off his body or how much exercise he gets out of his workout. He loves the game and he’s passionate about playing. The physical benefits are an aside to him.

This is true of so many naturally thin men and women. They find a sport or activity that they have a strong “enjoyment factor” and the enjoyment means everything! The focus has nothing to do with calorie burn and more to do with passion, enjoyment and skill improvement.

If hitting the gym has been painful for you, to get started look at either what you used to love doing as a kid, or get creative and think about what could be fun to get involved in. You may find you try ballet class and it’s just not the right fit for you. That’s fine. Just check it off as something you tried and move on to the next idea. You’ll eventually find the physical activity that moves not just your body, but your soul as well. Good luck and I look forward to hearing great success
stories.

If you’d like to learn more about how the thin think, you have got to get your hands on the this multi-media experience, Fire Your Fat Head. This audio and video experience will help you to see where you can begin putting your focus to naturally align your body with that of the thin. Fire Your Fat Head and start enjoying your new thin mind.

Getting Ready To Lose Weight? What Words Are You Using?

2009-08-03T11:30:00.002-07:00

Do You Feel You Deserve to Be Thin?

2009-08-03T11:27:00.000-07:00

Do you feel like you deserve to be thin?

Do you feel entitled to wear trendy fashion-forward clothes with cute seasonal tops and bottoms that show off your unique curves?

I know you want to be thin, but do you feel like you deserve it?

If you’ve found yourself repeating the cycle of losing and regaining weight over and over again, instead of getting frustrated with what’s been going on, it is important
you look deeper at the reason why this continues to take place. Spending some gentle time looking of deserving to be thin is crucial – down below I’ll share some ideas of how to do this.

Sometimes the feeling of being heavier is more comforting and more familiar than the feeling of thinness. You set out on the journey to live thin and in only a week’s time, you begin to see your body slim down. Yet as much as you enjoy these new results, you immediately find yourself engaging in overeating, binge eating, or mindless eating unconsciously.

It seems crazy! Here you want thinness so badly, yet this other force seems to take over and throw you back into your old jeans or old behaviors. The force that’s at play is deservingness.

If you’re currently in this cycle, before you even think of taking off pounds, I want you to explore what’s really going on. Here are four questions to help you to explore more deeply what’s truly going on:

1. Do you self-sabotage when it comes to slimming down?
2. Take a moment, close your eyes, and ask yourself “Do I deserve to be thin?” see what intuitively comes flowing into your mind.
3. What actions and thoughts do you use to when you begin to self-sabotage?
4. What could you do to counteract these thoughts and behaviors?

If you need extra support focusing on deserving thinness in your life, coaching is an extremely effective tool. In addition, the guided meditation, Becoming the Thin You That’s Within You, will center you to look at some of these areas.

Changing Negative Self-Talk to Lose Weight and Feel Great

2009-07-29T11:46:00.002-07:00

Anyone who knows me knows that when I talk about my coaching and the work I do, I get really passionate and happy. I LOVE coaching! Just love it!!!

Over the past year, I've had a very nice and full practice and the clients that
I now have, are some of my favorite clients of all time.

Well lately, many of my clients have been focusing not so much on weight, but
more on their self-talk and the results have been astounding!

Here are some fun mental shifting that will have long-lasting results:

1. Imagine not worrying about your weight. Just loving your body for what it does, where it is in this world, and what it has been through. Imagine negativity for your body no longer being an option.

2. I'm sure you've heard that whatever you focus on, expands. This is absolutely true for your body. If you focus on having to lose weight, you will continue to live in the land of depression. You will become more isolated and you will have less joy with your body.

Just think about it. If you focus on the annoying dishes that your husband left out from the night before, and then you notice what he didn't do in the bathroom, what he should have done in the garage, etc. the irritation will grow. If however, you just put the dishes away or ask to have them put away, it's done. No more focusing and no more irritation.

The more irritated you are with wanting a flat belly, the more you will focus on how
it's not flat and it will probably even get bigger. What about just placing your hands on your belly and saying "thank you belly for storing all these organs.” “Thank you stomach for allowing me to grow and carry children (if you have them).” “Thank you belly for digesting food and signaling hunger when it’s time for me to eat."

Commit to ONLY paying attention to when your belly is looking better and commenting on those times.

3. Stop making excuses like genetics, thyroid (that's one I've personally been using and I must stop NOW), slow metabolism, or anything else that you've used to feel negative about your body. Don't choose to allow your mind to play into that negative self talk that leaves you feeling fat, ugly or empty.

When you choose to take your mind to a beautiful place around your body, you will see your body and life transform. You will improve your confidence, enjoy power positive and powerful relationships, you will engage in activities you forgot you enjoyed and your life will be more fulfilled.

Do not underestimate the power of your mind in transforming your body. Start today!
All I can tell you is that my clients are my inspiration. They are feeling better, happier, seeing their bodies change and life shift all over the place. This works when you work with your mind!

The Power of Two

2009-07-27T13:57:00.003-07:00

Have you ever attended a seminar that was so good you just wanted everyone in your life to know about it? Well I did, and I have to tell you about it.

It has nothing to do with weight, body issues, slimming down, and it definitely has nothing to do with me.

It has to do your relationships.

How is your primary relationship going? How is your marriage? On a scale from 1-10 would you say it’s close to a 9 or 10?

I attended a seminar online with my husband that was so technologically advanced and fun, we both loved it. It’s called the Power of Two.

The whole idea in this 4-week seminar is toprovide couples with skills to communicate beautifully. I have to say, my husband and I went into this seminar having incredible communication, but this exploded our relationship to new levels by giving us very simple and executable skills that we could immediately use to enhance our marriage.

Each course was so much fun! They were not intimidating, and we never had to divulge any personal information; it really wasn’tabout that. It was a wonderful and positive interactive experienceled by a Psychologist who knew her stuff and made this process fun, interactive and extremely effective.

If your partnership, relationship, or marriage is fantastic, you should still sign up- it will be
even better. If your partnership, relationship, or marriage needs some work, you should run to sign up.

The Power of Two was developed by a Psychologist who kept seeing over and over in her practice that couples just didn't know how to communicate. She found that when they used this
specific set of skills, many of their marrital challenges dissolved.

You will gain incredible communication skills to forge ahead in a powerful and loving fashion together.

I’ve taken a ton of seminars, but this was by far one of my favorites. I’m not a big fan of learning theories but never receiving applicable information. In this seminar, my husband and I were given real skills to improve areas of our communication that we didn’t even know we needed.

The ultimate goal in life is not power, money or success.The ultimate goal in life is peace of mind. My marriage is one area where I have total peace of mind, which is what I hope for you as well.

I promise you, you will enjoy this seminar, and I think they even have a guarantee if you don’t.

Are You Misreading Your Cravings

2009-07-20T11:11:00.003-07:00

Today I’d like to explore what happens when cravings become problematicand what to do about it.

We all have food cravings here and there. It’s quite normal and most of the time,it’s your body letting you know what type of food you need to keep you living and looking your best. Some cravings however lead to overeating and bingeing.

Today I’d like to help you identify when a craving is just a craving, or when you should watch out for something else at play.

1. The first type of craving is a typical craving. This craving is when you check in with your body and you are hungry. As part of being hungry you crave protein, carbohydrates, sugar or a combination of these. You then prepare your meal and choose to the food based on what type of food you crave. When your meal ends, you are left satisfied and comfortable; not thinking much of the meal and able to carry on with your day.

2. The second type what I call unstoppable food cravings, which are more compulsive in nature. This type of craving is one you can’t seem to walk away from – it’s a force to be reckoned with. This, my friend, is something I want you to be aware of. This type of craving will add loads of pounds to your body and will confuse your natural food signals. It’s your body’s way of saying “when you give me this food, there’s something within my biochemistry right now that won’t let me stop eating it until it’s completely gone. This is more of an addiction or food allergy that you need to deal with. If for example you can’t seem to rip your hands away from ice cream, then one or two bites will never just do the trick. Then, for the time being, ice cream is off your list of items you should consume for a little while.

I too have this issue and it’s with sugar. There are times where I crave sugar so much that I know it’s not “normal”, it’s not a simple “I would like to have sugar” it’s a “I have to have it”, which signals me to know I’m in the danger zone. When this happens, I just take a few weeks and cut back on my sugar intake to neutralize my body, and slowly begin tointroduce sugar back into my diet. Our bodies are spectacular and they deliver such precise information when you know what to listen for. Tune into your body. If there is something out of balance giving you unstoppable food cravings – that’s information for you. It’s your body telling you there is something out of whack. Fix it, and move on.

If you’d like to discover your own body in more detail , I’d love to coach you into balance, health and youth. I have a few slots available, so if those times work, just fill out this quick form and we can find a time on Friday or Monday to get you in for coaching. My coaching rates are $185 - $320 per month, so they are quite reasonable. Click here to sign up: http://www.thinwithin.com/coaching.htm

3 Characteristics To Permanent Weight Loss

2009-07-13T12:17:00.000-07:00

3 Key Ingredients For Long-Term Weight Loss

2009-07-13T12:14:00.001-07:00

Almost every single day, I tell my husband or someone close to me, just howmuch I love coaching people. I love what I do so much, that if I had all the money in the world, I would still coach people to transform their bodies and lives.

One of the most miraculous events I observe as a coach is witnessing the externaland internal transformation people enjoy as they find love for themselves, joy for their shape, and the new found pride for who they are.

In looking at my clients who really seem to thrive, there are three characteristics that they ALL share. These are all things you can employ in your life to make your slimmingefforts even more effective:

1. Transformational self-talk.
Most new clients come to me with a war raging within their minds. A fierce battle of fat thoughts, self-loathing words, and painful messaging that seem to keep them locked in. Not all clients face negative self-talk, but majority do.Shifting negative self-talk to more positive chatter, is a must for my clients and it must be something you start working on. You can’t succeed long-term if your internal world is angry and self-destructive. You’ve got to work on your self-talk immediately. You’ve got to have a plan as to what to do each time you say something negative. Turning your thoughts around is essential or your weight will be regained. With practice, your positive thoughts will help you to transform your body. They go hand in-hand.

2. Dedication
Clients who soar, dedicate their time and focus toward slimming down. It’s not just something they “kinda-sorta” want to do, it’s something they just “Do”. The ultra-successful understand that their extra weight is keeping them from enjoying too many life gifts, which is making a massive impact of their quality of life. This helps them to make slimming down one of their top priorities. Dedication makes for success and avoids disappointment. Where’s your dedication right now. Have you been playing the “I want to slim down” record in your mind, but haven’t really done much about it, or are you focused each and every day to thinking, living and acting thin.

3. Have Fun
Clients seeing slam-dunk results have fun. Together, we laugh, we cry, we share and we create a bond that’s tight and so much fun. It’s fun to have the freedomto eat all the foods you desire, it’s fun to honor your body and it’s fun to get to thebottom of what’s been eating you. It may not be fun every second of your transformation, but by-in-large if you keep a positive attitude alive and well, you will forge ahead like a champ seeing awesome results. Having fun makes this journey one to be enjoyed forever.

If you’d like to get a taste of how fun coaching can be, I’d love to share talkwith you in person about how coaching works. I have a few slots available on Monday and Friday. So if those times work, just fill out this quick form and we can find a time on Friday or Monday to get you in for coaching. My coaching rates are $185 - $320 per month, so they are quite reasonable.

If you become a http://www.thinwithinu.com/ member, I offer one group coachingsession each month or you can enjoy a six-hour, six-week audio program at http://www.thinwithin.com/droponesize.htm for $97. And if that’s even more than you’d like to spend, and you’d like to first get a taste of what I do, you can enjoy the 30-Day Blaster Challenge, where you receive 30-instructional emails, where you will be guaranteed to drop a dress size.

Is Looking Good Looking Enough, Really Enough?

2009-07-08T10:47:00.006-07:00

Yesterday I felt really inspired to go workout, which I do at leisure here and there. I enjoyed some weights and then did the elliptical machine and scurried home to watch the Bachelorette, which I taped (Yeah, don't make fun of me for watching it, it's trashy but I'm a sucker for the show).

I had an ah-ha moment that you may be able to relate to...

Sometimes I settle for looking good enough, being successful enough or working out just enough, without really tasting how amazing super sexy feels, super successful is, a super sweaty workout can be. If I'm going to waste my brainpower on having goals, I want to have goals that are spectacular, that are amazing, and that are ridiculously fantastic!!!!!

I found that as I've gone from my mid 20's to mid 30's, I've sometimes been too easy on myself. I've been so lucky to fall into a career I love and find success in my work, yet sometimes I take my life for granted. I don't push beyond my limits. I don't wake up earlier to inspire hundreds of more people each day. I don't offer as many seminars as I could. I workout in comfort versus pushing my body a smidge harder each time - so my results are 'eh...average. I've just allowed moderate success part of who I am...UM, NO!!!!

I don't want my husband and me to be "moderate" or "average". I want us to be spectacular!!! I want us to live this life in a big and magnificent fashion. We deserve to and so do you.

What is spectacular living for you? Share with me, inspire me and let me know! Spectacular living for me is:

*Waking up early - meditating and going for a brisk walk, jog, or hitting the gym with an even stronger workout than the day before. Pushing myself to see all that I am and all that I can be.

*Inspiring thousands more men and women to through tough love to live thin from within, to honor their bodies - and to drop weight by doing the work it takes to think, eat and live thin.

*To eat in a way that continues to honor my body. Lots of colors, lots of beauty, lots of delicious foods.

*Spending money on beautiful clothes, beautiful makeup, beautiful hair products, taking care of my body and my skin so it glows beyond where I've been.

*Stand tall, walk with confidence and use my mind to explode my success, my body results and my life.

*Stand in gratitude for my continued success, each and every one of you that I hear from each and every day, each client I have the privilege to coach, and all the gifts in my life. What about you?

Where are you just settling? Where are you saying okay is good enough? Share with me!

Is Life Really Better Once You Are Thinner?

2009-07-06T11:26:00.001-07:00

Summer always used to be my goal season for my body.

By June or July I longed to have lost all my winter weight, with the hope of looking fantastic, to be able to lay out by the pool, and to wear cute summer tanks and capri pants.

Yet summer would come and my weight may be higher or lower, yet either way I wouldn’t wear capri pants, I wouldn’t lay by the pool and my hopes of having my dream summer were squashed. Another summer came and went where I felt self conscious by the pool.

Yuck!

Do you think my summers were magical after I lost weight? NOPE. Not at all. Once I slimmed down, there’s no question that I felt better in a bikini, enjoyed capris and shorts, and felt better overall, yet my mind still wasn’t happy with how I looked. I still felt self-conscious and I still avoided what I call “thin activities” like tubing down the river in your swimsuit, rafting, biking and whatever else I made up in my mind about what “thin activities” I should avoid because I was still too fat to enjoy them.

Do you think that everything will be better once you fit into a smaller size, wear the bikini you’ve been too embarrassed to wear for the past six years, or finally get down intothat oh-so-desirable pant size? I’m not going to lie, life is better, but it’s not perfect.While working on yourself to slim down, you must also work on your mind. See, if you don’t like yourself very much now, you still won’t like yourself when you’re thinner.

I see this happen thousands of times in my practice. Clients lose 20 pounds and then focus on the next 20. Even though they dropped 2-3 sizes, they want the three sizes below where they are now. Still unhappy, still frustrated, still not practicing self-love.Let me tell you the biggest secrets to permanent weight loss. This is big.Ready?

The biggest secret to permanent weight loss is finding beauty within yourself now. Finding beauty and celebrating how beautiful you are is a practice. Just the way filing your nails is a practice. If you let your nails get too long, they’d look all dirty and ragged and ugly. The same is true with your self esteem and body esteem. If you don’t nurture yourself and your body, your self-esteem gets all ragged, your sense of self gets all ugly.

Here are two things you can begin doing today:

1. Begin wearing a rubber band around your wrist. Every time you think something negative about yourself, slap the rubber band, as if to say “snap out of that kind of talk” and then replace the comment you made with a kinder more loving statement.

2. Write down all the things you think will improve when you slim down. Write a whole list with a new topic on each line. Once you’ve done that, look at your list see what you can powerfully shift right now, without waiting for your “better” you when you slim down. For example: if you think it would be so great to wear tank tops, start wearing them! If you have yet to buy yourself new summer stylish clothes because you don’t want to go shopping until you are 10 pounds lighter. Stop it! You are coming from a lack perspective. It’s as though you’re punishing yourself for who you are today. I guarantee that this won’t create a happy and thin you if you continue thinking in that fashion. Go out and get yourself some wonderful and stylish summer clothes now. It’s a good time too – everything’s on sale after the forth of July.

You deserve the best NOW, please don’t wait. We all know that life is too short, so start living and taking action. Don’t let some extra pounds keep you from living. If it’s keeping you from living a happy and joyous life, you may want to consider hiring me as your coach, so we can blast through any negativity.

Much of what I’ve spoken about can be enjoyed in great length with my 6-hour audio course, Attract a Thin You. Don't think that you can’t slim down by harnessing skills of law of attraction, the be-do-have principle or conquering self-defeating behaviors with the power of your mind.

Lately I've been really enjoying posting my hunger chart at ThinWithinU.com. It's pretty amazing what you learn about yourself. You should join me and see what you think about checking in daily and posting how you're doing.

Here are the things I'm learning about myself:

1. I've seen how I love to feel hunger and always eat when I'm hungry.

2. I've noticed that unlike naturally thin people, my eyes usually don't want to stop. I just love food so much and I love eating. I have to definitely make a focused effort to slow down my eating and hang out for a bit to feel satisfied. If I don't, I'll just keep eating.

3. I've noticed that I've been eating out a lot and I like the balance of eating out and also eating at home. I really love a fresh bowl of strawberries or steamed broccoli in my steamer or salmon.

4. Mixing food up is so fun. I like thinking about food in colors. I like to have a fun variety of colors. I notice when I eat out - well at least the food that I eat, doesn't have the same vibrant colors as whel I eat at home. I like a lot of colors. For example, if I have a bagel and cream cheese and go out and have a hamburger or pizza, it's all kind of the same color. If, on the other hand I go and have a bagel and creem cheese and then later make some broccoli, strawberries and grilled salmon....so much color!

5. I notice I really get hooked on coffee quickly and I love it. I usually don't have more than a half cup or cup every day or every other day. It seems however that when I have coffee, my skin seems to break out more. Do you notice that? I heard lemon and apple cider vinegar is supposed to be great for you skin. The vinegar can be stinky if you use it and go to bed with someone else...ha!

6. I notice that when I track my hunger, I'm so much more aware. Come track with me on ThinWithinU.

7. I notice I'm the happiest when I'm working with clients and doing this work. That's just a side note, but something I've definitely noticed. I love us all working together to slim down, feel beautiful and love our bodies.

Mindful Eating

2009-06-26T11:30:00.002-07:00

Have you ever been doing your thing throughout the day, trying to cope with what comes your way and found yourself with the pantry wide open eating this chocolate bar and that brownie? As you stand there you wonder, "How in the world did I get here?"

It is possible that you totally missed what I share in Secret #6 of my book, Nautrally Thin Secrets (which is now on sale by the way).

To illustrate this, I want to share a video with you. As a fellow hypnotherapist, let's
recharge your brain to begin naturally eating mindfully, so you can avoid spending diving
into half a tub of ice cream without even enjoying the taste.

View this video and let me know how you feel. Take some time, relax and let mindful eating trance video work for you.

Looking For Companies Wanting a Weight Loss Program

2009-06-24T16:49:00.002-07:00

Did I tell you the exciting news?

Kim Hiatt, PhD - my partner and I have been working our
tails off to put together an awesome corporate non-diet weight loss program
for you.

We have heard over and over from people that they are sick and tired
of dieting, that corporate weight loss programs suck, that weighing in only contributes to overeating and then undereating, and that many of you want us to provide an effective
and results focused corporate program.....

So we did!

Basically the program is divided into four parts:

Part #1: is a 90-minute live kick off seminar with Dr. Kim Hiatt. She will discuss the following topics in person during a ninety minute interactive presentation. If you are not located in San Diego or close by and don't want to fly her out, then she'll do this presentation by phone focusing on:

* Why most people’s weight loss/weight maintenance efforts do not work
* The importance of intuitive eating. Understanding your hunger and fullness cues
* How to stop overeating and minimize emotional eating
* How to get and stay motivated to lose or maintain weight
* How to attain naturally thin weight loss results
* Body acceptance at any weight
* How to track your naturally thin weight loss success
* How to set inspiring goals

Then compes part #2: For an entire eight weeks you will receive audio and emails sent right to your email at work! Each week you will receive a weight loss audio to sent to you so you don't have to do a thing, plus naturally thin weight loss tips throughout the week. We know how hard it is to keep motivated, so that's why we are sending both emails audios and emails out to keep you on track and engaged!

Part#3: The third component is coaching. Each month, Kim and I will offer you non-diet weight loss coaching focused on answering your questions, concerns, or challenges. You get us live and get your questions answered.

and finally....

Part #4: We know that questions come up out of nowhere and we want to make sure that you have the support you need, so we will be offering you email coaching support so when your brain is bursting with needing support, you don't have to wait until next week - write it out and press "send". Marna and Kim will get back in touch with you fast! This is just another way to rockin' results so you can have a rockin' bod. Yep, that's soon to be you!

Our program is rediculously reasonable - especially if your company pays for it! It would then be FREE to you. If you are interested in signing your company up please click here. We would LOVE the opportunity to see you and your fellow co-workers de-flubbify and look fantastic!

When you click on the above link to host an event - even if you are not sure if you can, it's okay. By filling this form out you will ensure that Kim or myself will call you back and we can get moving on seeing your company shrink down!

Diets Continue to Suck

2009-06-17T12:59:00.006-07:00

I read an article today that continues to reinforce my conviction that diets suck! Most of this article was boring and depressing, but what I really liked about it is the notion that when your mind starts to become hyperfocused on a certain food item, fighting it does absolutely no good.

In this article called Fat-Salt-Sugar Fix Impossible to Resist, Gabriella Boston of The Washington Times states "Our brains start encoding everything about the hyperpalatable food - say a chocolate-chip cookie - so that the next time we see or think about a chocolate-chip cookie, we almost can hear the crinkle of the cellophane wrap, feel the crunch of the first bite between our teeth and taste the intense explosion of chocolate, fat and sugar. The easiest way to get rid of the anxiety is just to give in and eat the cookie, because if we don't, the multisensory anticipation probably will linger and fester, although giving in has its own set of negative consequences, including feelings of failure."

When you focus on what you desire in combination with paying attention to your hunger
and satisfaction cues, you never have to go through the highs and lows of eating. There's never a sense that you should "go on" a diet or calorie restriction program.

Remember, listen to your body. It's what the thin do, and it's what you should do too! It's biological not accidental that the naturally thin stay connected and honor their bodies during
summer picnics, during sad times and during celebrations. Stay connected and you stay thin!

Is Fear Keeping You From Attaining Your Goals

2009-06-12T08:22:00.004-07:00

Whenever I see someone who is NOT moving toward their body goals, someone who tells me they want to see a shift, but the results continue to stay the same - it is almost always fear that is holding her back.

Fear of what?

Fear of success is one of the biggest that I tend to see.

I know it seems crazy. You want to see results so what would success hold you back. Well, hundreds of people I’ve seen over the years worry how looking amazing will impact their marriage or the reactions they will receive from others when they begin to look drop-dead-gorgeous. Staying with the known is far less intimidating then the potential to be the gorgeous person you desire.

But the reality is: When you begin to change your body, most people notice and make a comment and then move on with their day. Most people are so busy doing what they're doing that they don't really give it too much thought. Your partner may feel a bit shaken up to your new routine, but he’ll get used to it and the sex will be incredible. When you walk into a room at a party you’ll fee confident, sexy and powerful. Oh, and your work life will change too. When you feel fantastic about yourself, you better believe you’ll be more successful and work – and more success means more money!

Regardless of how fearful you are of making your body beautiful - the most important concept you must understand is that if you can be thin AND feel safe and comfortable in your skin. If you choose to move toward living thin, I have a fun new treat. I just created a guided meditation and hypnotherapy audio focused on inputting positive and naturally messages into your brain. Since thoughts create actions – working to get your thoughts to shift, will shift your actions. Fear of success will no longer be an option when you keep listening to this audio.

If you don't care about making a change then keep on doing the same ‘ol thing. If you do, this audio will be on sale for the next week. Just $14.99.

http://www.thinwithin.com/thinyouwithinyou.htm

Choose thin thoughts this summer and you’ll be choosing to move past our fears. I once was fearful that people wouldn’t think I was thin enough because I wasn’t a size 2. I don't limit myself because of someone else's opinion. Neither should YOU.

If you want to attain a thinner body, if you want an improved your physique or figure, if you want to go for a walk, start running hills or shifting your self talk - this is what YOU want. Don't EVER let anyone distract you from what you want and where you are going. You are the one who decides. No one else.

Stay determined and move through your fear. Once you conquer this fear another will come – you can do it!

Three Must-Know Ingredients For Marriage and Weight Loss Success

2009-05-27T13:28:00.001-07:00

Do you know what three main ingredients have been shown to make a marriage last? Who would of thought that the same characteristics needed to make a marriage stick is the same that keeps you slim? The proof is in the research. Social Psychologists have shown time and time again the three key ingredients to a long-lasting joyful marriage. My research shows that these three success traits are linked to shedding pounds and living thin.

Emotional Intimacy
A marriage thrives on emotional intimacy. A study by University of Virginia sociologists W. Bradford Wilcox and Steven L. Nock found that the single most important factor in women's marital happiness is the level of their husbands' emotional engagement -- not money, the division of household chores or other factors.

The more a couple shares and feels heard regarding their wants and needs, the greater the chance that the couple will sustain a strong marital relationship. In a similar vein, when a couple shows vulnerability within the relationship, it deepens the connection and increases the chance of the couple staying together.

Similarly, in my practice, the men and women who communicate openly and honestly with how their added weight is impacting their life and fully feel this impact, the greater the chance of slimming down. By being vulnerable and sharing this impact, their vulnerability has a direct impact on their ability to lose weight. True success begins to take shape out of the raw and open desire to change. In essence, this emotional vulnerability allows men and women to get real with themselves and opens up a space for healing and long-term weight loss to occur.

Commitment
Commitment in marriage relationships is the second determining success factor to a happy and healthy long-term marriage. Wilcox and Nock found that when couples share a strong commitment to lifelong marriage; for instance, think that marriage is a "lifetime relationship and should never be ended except under extreme circumstances" -- are more likely to report happy marriages, compared to couples who do not have such a commitment to marriage. Shared commitment seems to generate mutual trust and higher levels of emotional investment on the part of couple -- both factors which promote marital happiness among couples, and women in particular.

For years I’ve preached the negative psychological and physical impact dieting has on people. I’ve provided 12 years of evidence as to why dieting is monumentally destructive. The research continues to prove this point. Frank M. Sacks, MD, a professor of medicine at Harvard University, and lead author on this study states, “We thought that the higher protein diet would be more satiating and lead to better weight loss long run, but we didn’t find that at all, says Dr. Sacks. “We found that protein content really didn’t matter.” In fact, the protein, fat or carbohydrate content of the diets did not predict who would lose the most weight, but you know what did? Commitment did. Participants who attended more group counseling sessions lost more weight – about half a pound for every session they attended. Those who stuck most closely to their assigned commitment also got better results.

The study, which was published in the Feb. 26, 2009 issue of The New England Journal of Medicine, is one of the largest and longest studies to measure the effect of macronutrient balance on weight loss.

Physical Passion
Physical passion is the third indicator social psychologists have shown to indicate a long-term successful marriage. Physical passion is an important part of any marriage. Physical passion comes in many forms. The most fundamental form of physical passion are things such as hugging, prolonged kisses, a touch on the shoulder or mid back, or running your hand through your partner’s hair. Passionate touch can lead all the way to a sexual relationship, but sex is not the actual indicator for a successful marriage to thrive. Success relies heavily on constant physical passion.

In the same way, physical movement not only helps men and women slim down, but most importantly, it helps to align your physical with your mental world; increasing the speed to natural weight loss and increases weight loss motivation. When you move your body you feel hot and sweaty. You literally can’t help but feel what is occurring within your body. In order for fast weight loss to occur, men and women who desire a naturally thin weight loss approach, first have to begin feeling what their bodies need. It’s crucial. When my clients exercise, it helps them to feel within their body not just during meal times but also when experiencing physical movement. The more they get in their bodies and feel, the faster the weight loss results. I see it every day, and so can you.

Four Easy Tips to Keep You Living Thin From Within this Weekend

2009-05-22T08:13:00.004-07:00

With the holiday weekend coming up, I want to give you a few naturally thin pointers to keep you looking and feeling your best...

1. Give yourself permission to eat all these delicious goodies. It's sort of a basic fact of human nature – if we think we can't have something, we want it even more. If you have it when you are hungry, the excitement and energy around this food loses some of its appeal. You have to eat right? You mine as well eat all the foods you love. I think it’s a really wonderful thing that we live in a place where people have the talent and the skill to make beautiful and delicious foods for our enjoyment. What a gift. Even though today's popular diets tell us we need to cut out carbohydrates, white flower, sugar and pretty much everything else from our diet, I’m telling you—there are a lot of thin people eating holiday foods that contain all the “bad stuff.”

2. Eat mindfully. Stay in touch with how your body feels and how the food tastes as you eat it. Do you love the food you’re eating or is the food just so-so? If it’s so-so, throw it away and get something delicious. By staying mindful you will prevent massive holiday overeating; you'll know when you've had enough. The food will lose some of its taste and appeal. If you go too far beyond that point when it doesn't taste as good, you'll likely begin to feel like full and uncomfortable.

3. Take some longs walks or play with the family. Your body and mind are connected, so make sure you're taking good care of your body too. Enjoy some play time with your friends and family this weekend. You’ll be left walking taller and feeling beautiful.

4. Think of yourself as a snob this weekend. Check in and see if you are in fact hungry before attending a meal. If not, just grab some water and walk around socializing, it's what the thin do. Once you do in fact get hungry, be selective of the foods you put in your body and eat the very best foods-like a snob (but in a good way).

Have a wonderful weekend!

Two Types of Hunger You Must Satisfy to Lose Weight

Here's a very easy tip to help you jump start your metabolism:

In a mug put:
1 slice of lemon
1 tsp. of cayenne pepper

Stick in the microwave or pour hot water over your lemon and
cayenne and stir.

Cayenne Pepper can definately spice up a meal, but did you know that it can also raise your metabolic rate by up to 50% for up to 3 hours after you’ve eaten a this spice?

I hope you enjoy this tip!

8 Tips to Improve Mindful Eating - Lose Weight Fast

2009-04-29T15:39:00.002-07:00

When you begin eating mindfully, a whole new world of will open up to you.

If you are finding mindful eating challenging, you are not alone. To make it easier, I thought I would provide you with several mindful eating tips:

1. Gratitude. Whether you are swinging by Taco Bell or preparing a decadent dinner, appreciate the food you are about to eat. When you appreciate, you focus attention on yourself and the food, and it makes what you are about to eat all the more special. Taking a moment to look at your food and give thanks, will also focus your attention in a positive way, helping you to stay mindful all the way through.

2. Taste. Now that you see that it doesn't take all that many bites to go from hungry to satisfied, make sure to taste each and every bite. Swirl it around your mouth and notice all the yummy tastes and textures. Don't let this bite get away from you without tasting it! What fun is that? It's not, so taste each and every bite of your meal.

3. Stop Being a Busy Bee. If you are used to eating and watching t.v., eating and working, eating and doing 14 other things at the same time, knock it off. We all have a million things to get done, but there's no reason to bring your busy life into your meals. You will be sure to take off some unwanted pounds if you make a new rule for yourself and stop doing other things while eating.

4. Sit Down. One simple way of helping yourself to eat mindfully is to eat while you are sitting. Never eat while standing in front of the fridge or preparing a meal. When you eat while standing up, whether you are cooking, snacking, or picking, you won't feel satisfied. Put your food on a plate, sit down and enjoy.

5. Slow Down. I know that you are extremely busy. Yet, I also know you love to eat. So why not pamper yourself during a meal. There's no reason to eat everything on your plate in two-minutes flat, when you could slowly enjoy eat bite of food and have a relaxing and enjoyable meal. By focusing more on the conversation between bites, the atmosphere around you, the aftertaste of each bite, and the effect each bite has on your body, you are sure to fill up on less food, having greater enjoyment at each meal.

6. Chew. You can taste each bite of food in your mouth if you chew it all the way, not to mention you will digest your food better as well.

7. Play This Game. Sometimes, we like to see if we can be the last one at the table to finish our meal. By doing this, it makes eating slow fun and mindful, all in one package. If you are the first to usually finish a meal, see if you can be the last. This is a fun way to make mindful eating part or your life daily.

8. Pause Between Bites: After every or every few bites, pause. This is a good time to check in ask yourself if you are still hungry. If you are still hungry, go ahead and eat, if not, you will know exactly when your body has had enough food.

NOTE: Sometimes you have to eat in the car, eat at your desk, or grab some food and take it with you. Once in awhile, this is fine, just don't make it a habit. If you find yourself getting caught in this situation, just take a bite of food, then focus on what it is you need to do. Take another bite - focus - then work, drive, etc.

Put these tips to great use and you will certainly see your waistline benefit from these tips.

Weight Loss Study Reveals the #1 Secret to Losing Weight

2009-04-06T12:38:00.002-07:00

A recent study in the Journal of Behavioral Medicine analyzed the psychological characteristics of people who successfully and unsuccessfully completed a 4-month weight loss program. The main factors related to weight loss failure included these six areas:

1. A high number of recent dieting attempts
2. More stringent weight outcome evaluations
3. A higher perceived negative impact of weight on quality of life
4. Lower self-motivation
5. Higher body size dissatisfaction
6. Lower self-esteem

The proof is in the pudding: in order to change your weight you must first change your mind. The people who struggled to lose weight insisted on beating themselves up for falling off the wagon, they bounced from one diet to another or started off with a horrible body-image, and who saw their body as ugly, horrible and something to avoid at all cost.

Further, when participants didn’t see immediate results and bounced from diet to diet over the four month period, most found themselves in the exact same spot as when they started. What this study proved is that having stringent expectations for quick weight loss, is actually detrimental on your weight loss results compared to successful participants.

So what’s the secret to seeing permanent weight loss results?

If you want to win the weight loss game, you’ve got to start with learning to think thin.

How do you do that? The first thing to begin doing is to begin by celebrating you today. Finding positive thoughts about who you are, focusing on the beautiful parts of your body as well as falling in love with not just how you look on the outside, but the incredible gifts you bring to this world is at the forefront of seeing weight loss success; and this study proves it. Remember, your self-esteem is hinged on this fact and the more loving compassion you bring to your daily weight loss efforts, the faster your weight loss results.

The work begins with your mind. You can manage your positive mental thoughts and actions each and every day, but you can’t predict that you will see a five pound weight loss by the end of the day, nor should you set your mind and emotions up for that type of letdown. Set yourself up for being successful by being in the moment, and positive results will come naturally. By developing your brain to think loving, to think thin, and to honor your self, the better the weight loss results you will have.

Many people who desire to lose weight have not sufficiently learned to think thin. I can help! Join me for a special mind transformation 4-week workshop that begins April 20th: ttp://www.thinwithin.com/positivelybeautiful.htm

Slim Down Twice As Fast

2009-03-04T12:40:00.001-07:00

A recent study done by Dr. Victor J. Stevens, in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine found that keeping a "food diary" doubled weight loss results.

I think that keeping a "food diary" sounds like hell and is such a diet way of being, and I would never recommend it, so I came up with a better way of helping you to double your results.
Keep reading...

In his study, after 20 weeks, the total average loss was about 13 pounds, but the food recording habit predicted success.

After 20 weeks, the average weight loss was 13 pounds per person. Researchers discovered something else; the more participants recorded what they ate, the more weight they lost in the end. Participants who did not keep a food diary lost about 9 pounds over the course of the study, while those who recorded their food intake six or more days per week lost 18 pounds--twice as much as those who didn't track any food!

http://www.thinwithin.com/tracking.htm

Similar weight loss results occur for thousands of men and women who learn to live thin with me, but what if I could get you results even faster?

So here's what I have in store...

I have focused my entire slimming efforts on the naturally thin. I've taken dozens of these efforts and came up with the top four secrets that get people results every time.
On Monday, I'm going to go through each one of these four areas, for four consecutive weeks.
In addition, I will provide you tracking forms to help you track, not your food consumption...blah, but how you are aligning with the naturally thin.

The more you track, the better your results...the proof is in this study.

Join me Monday evening as I take you on a four-week naturally thin tracking journey, where you will slim down, you will see results and I'm even going to join you for the ride. That's just how inspired I am by this.

P.S. If you are experiencing resistance thinking about tracking, the results speak for themselves.
Stop focusing on tracking, and focus on how fabulous you'll look strutting your stuff this Spring.

Denver Duo Joins Forces for Unique One-Day Event in DTC

2009-02-04T16:20:00.001-07:00

Newly found favorite cousins, Connie Suson and Marna Goldstein Thall recently reconnected and discovered that the methods they were using separately to help others, balanced and coordinated with each other. This led them to create a unique one-day workshop, “Become Who You’re Meant To Be“, geared towards helping those struggling to slim down or find their purpose in life. This special event will take place in the DTC area on Sunday, February 22nd from 9:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m.

Having recently completed an intensive training in San Diego, California, local resident, Connie Suson, says a simple test has transformed the way she looks at the world.

Citing a Harris Interactive study that found 80% of Americans are not passionate about what they do, Connie says: “Everyone knows that passion is the key to success, but for people who don’t know what their passions are, finding that passion can be a huge mystery.”
Connie Suson tells people that The Passion Test is a simple, yet powerful way to get clear about the five things that matter most to them and then a process to make those the priority in their lives.

The process was created by Janet Bray Attwood and Chris Attwood and described in their NY Times bestseller, The Passion Test – The Effortless Path to Discovering Your Life Purpose (paperback: Plume, September, 2008). Connie, who was personally trained by the Attwoods as a Passion Test facilitator, says, “When you are clear, what you choose to have show up in your life will, and only to the extent you’re clear. The Passion Test is a simple, powerful process to get that clarity.”

Connie Suson is the founder of Awaken Your Passion, facilitating individuals, groups and people in the corporate world to uncover and live happier, more productive and fulfilling lives.
Out-of-control trigger eating, bingeing on comfort foods, feeling like a slave to food – none of these reactive experiences are foreign to Non-Diet Diva Marna Goldstein Thall.

The average American gains 7-10 pounds during the holiday season, but according to Thall, you can release extra weight fast by understanding how the thin think, act and live. Some 14 years ago, Thall thought, “If I wanted to become wealthy, I would study the rich. I want to get thin, so I’m going to start studying the thin.” After numerous interviews, Thall began to see her body slim down as she began implementing these naturally thin findings. Since that time, she has built a strong business focused on helping men and women around the globe slim down naturally without dieting, without deprivation, without counting calories – “those are just silly things dieters do, the thin would never think about engaging in such mind-numbing activities.” Weight gain is typically never about food, but about much, much more! Once you know how to interact with food like the thin, you then need to find your passion and find the underlying reasons why you may be eating so you can curb your out-of-control eating for once and for all, explains Thall.

That’s why this pair has teamed up to teach this interactive and powerful course to assist participants’ understanding the powerful teachings of the naturally thin and discovering their passions so they can look to their inner strength to soar through their life and in their body.

“Whether you are feeling stuck in your job, are an empty-nester looking to rekindle your passion for life, or are struggling to determine how to match your dreams with your skills, you will gain insight into your natural gifts and talents” says passion specialist Connie Suson.

The “Become Who You’re Meant To Be” experience differs from any kind of 12-step program or traditional diet in that it focuses on how the naturally thin eat, think and live. Further, it is seldom necessary for deprivation or avoidance to be the primary tactic for management. In fact, Thall admits to enjoying cheese regularly, but says, “I no longer have to have it – I can now choose when I want it, and there is a remarkable freedom in that.”

Fire Your Fat Head

2009-01-28T12:31:00.002-07:00

So, here's a pretty funny story.

On my first date with my now husband, I couldn't
help but notice how naturally thin he was and
after a few hours I began asking him questions
about how he stayed so thin.

I was fascinated!

Immediately I knew he was naturally thin and
when he asked me out on our second date, I
asked him if I could interview him.

He agreed....

You know how I am always talking about how important
your thoughts are in creating a thin svelte figure?

I have spent half my life learning from naturally thin
people like Josh, but I've never given anyone access
to these interviews until today!

I have spent the last year developing this video and
audio product so that you can hear from Josh's mouth
how they think, live and act. There's just something
inspiring about hearingwhat the thin have to say

http://www.fireyourfathead.com

Honestly, when I did these interviews, I reallyfelt more
inspired, more connected, and evenI shed a few
more pounds...

People like Josh are amazing.

The naturally thin are brilliant!

Today, I am excited to share with
the world what Josh, the most naturally
thin person I know, has to share.

In my interview with him, I asked everything
from how he deals with:

*Restaurant and Social Eating
*A typical day in their life with food
*How they manage stress
*Emotional eating like procrastination, loneliness and boredom

For the first time ever, these interviews are now
available to the public. These interviews continue to
confirm that the thin stay thin with very little effort -
which is how I was able to drop 32 pounds fast some
14 years ago.

Your Natural Birthright is to Be Thin

2009-01-22T10:42:00.003-07:00

When you were born, you had all the conditioning within your cells to be and stay naturally thin, and upon staying in connection with your body – you stayed thin. You innately knew the difference between head hunger – which is when you “think” yourself into being hungry, versus having the physiological huger which shows up as a stomach nudge from within. As a baby, food’s only purpose was to satisfy your body’s need for more fuel. This is why babies start crying and then scream, because hunger is a physical sensation, that gets stronger and stronger and is actually painful. You knew with precision, the exact foods you liked. And those foods which you hated – you indicated by spitting it out, turning your head, or wearing a sour expression on your face in sheer disgust.

There are two main reasons (85%) I see in my practice for why people begin to gaining weight and lose this natural sensation: (1) Control issues with a parent – most typically being a mom, but can also come in the form of a judgmental father and (2) Abuse of any kind – meaning physical, mental, emotional, verbal and/or sexual abuse. These two often instantly create a barrier or protection layer within the body and this intuitive instinct is overridden by the need for comfort, protection or safety. Sadly and often commonly, individuals seek out this emotional need and it comes out in addictive behaviors. Either people seek out cigarettes, drugs and alcohol, sex, or food.

When the connection with food takes on an emotional relationship, the physiological connection is often lost and disrupted. When you begin listening to your head to determine food quantity or quality weight gain occurs and dieting or diet programs become commonplace to help you slim down. But once you begin listening to other people’s advice regarding what you should or should not eat, this adds to the confusion and ultimately takes you further away from your body and your body’s needs.If you’re like me, I used to think that someone else had the answers, knew more than I – but this was so wrong – but I was desperate! I was lucky to discover early on in my life that it’s actually about getting back to the basics of listening to your body and honoring your body like you did when you were a child instead of listening to what the diet industry says you should and should not do.

When I stop honoring my body, my body quickly puts on weight. When I listen, it quickly sheds weight – and the same has been true for thousands of others I’ve worked with. I have hundreds of testimonials from people who saw a difference, and saw it fast!

I have found that the industry that I’m loosely connected with (just because I help people slim down), actually does more harm than good. Slimming down doesn’t have to cost a dime – you don’t have to pop pills, pound raw eggs, or buy expensive fat burning products and powdersto see results. it’s just about turning inward, quieting your body and listening.

The education available to you from ThinWithin.com returns you back to your natural state, where you existed when you were a child– it’s still there. It’s still part of you. Living Thin Within is your natural birthright.

Naturally thin people have retained this ability, which they inherited from birth. These thin individuals you see walking around make being skinny look easy is because their physical system for hunger is still in tact. The good news is that you can relearn to have it too. You are fully capable of learning new behaviors around reconnecting to your own body, because you learned new behaviors from the diet industry that took you away from listening to your own body. They just gave you the wrong information which created behaviors causing you to gain weight instead of losing it. If you are heavier now than before you went on your first diet, that’s all the evidence you need to convince you that diets don’t work and never will, long term.

To get back to the way your body is designed to look and feel, I strongly encourage you to find the support to get your body and life feeling whole again.

This book is about how Nanette used the Law of Attraction to create a personal *Relationship* *Breakthrough*. Nanette shows you, *Step-by-Step*, how you can Create the relationship of Your Dreams, too.

Nanette was tired of running her life as a solo act and deeply desired a love that she could share her life with unreservedly. Her true desire was to have a powerful partner to team up with.
Especially with the uncertain economic conditions, having someone who backs you up completely is what most of us want.

If you're among my single friends who dearly *want a fulfilling love relationship*, then what I'm about to share with you is for you! If not, I invite you to pass this along to one of your single friends, who will thank you dearly for passing it along.

She created a huge breakthrough for herself around relationships by *blasting through her barriers*. She'll teach you how you can too. Learn more by going here:
http://createtheloveofyourdreams.com/

Nanette met and was *engaged* to the man of her dreams 6 *weeks later*! They've now been blissfully married for 3 years. Well, as you can imagine, her friends and family were thrilled for her.

Nanette's Friends kept asking her "what did you do?" "How'd you do it?"
She told them.

Then they said, "You need to write a book!"

So Nanette wrote *Create the Love of Your Dreams*, *The Essential How To Relationship Book* *Using the Law of Attraction*.

I'm supporting Nanette in getting her inspiration out there so that you, too, can:
*Be fulfilled in your relationships
*Breakthrough any barriers in love and intimacy
*Learn how to leverage the power of the Universe to have it all and *Create the Love of Your Dreams*.

Say goodbye to facing another holiday season *alone and lonely*. You can check that concern right off your list.

Nanette shows you how to identify your blocks, *step-by-step*. At the end of each chapter you'll find clarifying exercises that have you lining up your blocks and picking them off.
"You don't even know what's blocking you if you haven't asked yourself some of these clarifying questions," Nanette told me.

Get your copy of "Create the Love of Your Dreams" and get over $2000 in goodies by way of F*ree bonuses delivered to your email inbox in minutes. Go here to learn more

Did You See Oprah Today?

2009-01-05T16:51:00.000-07:00

I was so taken by Oprah’s show today that I had to write you. She spoke candidly today regarding her challenge with her weight this past year.

Feeling completely defeated by having not only an added 40 pounds, but being diagnosed with a thyroid challenge and facing potential depression or “dullness” made her 53rd year quite a challenge. Further, she shared that when her engine gets run down, she eats.

Can you relate to Oprah?

I hope you know by now that weight gain is NEVER about food but about what is occurring on a cellular and emotional level.

****What are you hungry for? I don’t mean superficially hungry for, but what are you needing from an emotional realm.

****Do you even have a sense of what freedom with your body would look like?

****Are you putting yourself back on your priority list in 2009?

If you need some added support, I am taking ten people on an advanced three month journey to creating A NEW YOU. As you make your first appearance into 2009, I would love to guide you toward finding your inner strength, your deeper purpose, your inner joy to honor yourself so you can feel joyous and harmonious with your life and your body.

I'm taking 10 of you.

If you are interested, please click on the link below to sign up. http://www.thinwithin.com/anewyou.htm

Are you ready?

You deserve it!

My Sister Looks Awesome

2008-12-10T13:00:00.003-07:00

My sister and her husband traveled around Europe the entire summer, and when she returned she was teensy...she lost a bunch of weight!

Now, my sister has never been big and when I was looking at slimming down some years ago, she was one of the first people I interviewed. I asked her when she knew when to eat, how much, etc. And of course, she nailed the questions just in the same way other naturally thin people did (They all seem like they are from the same club).

Well, like most naturally thin people (they are real people too) their weight goesup a little and comes down a little. My sister has been that way... but always thin.

When she came from her travels, I asked her about her experience in Europe and how she came to get so skinny...

My sister's name is Elke and Elke shared with me that she and her husband first thought the meals in Europe were ridiculously small and for the first few meals or so - they went to McDonalds or somewhere else to get a quick bite after their dinner, because it just wasn't enough food.

She said that after a few days, they became comfortable with the smaller portions and due to their activity and smaller meals, they slimmed down.

The two of them both look great and it's been several months since their travels. Today, Elke sent me such an insightful email that she gave me permission to share with you:

"I've noticed that since I've lost a little weight, I'm a little happier with my body. Without meaning to, I started paying more attention to my thighs when I soap in the shower. I realized that I hadn't touched my upper thighs in who knows how long because I didn't like the way they looked. I kind of just avoided them subconsciously. I kind of wonder if it contributed to them staying that way. By ignoring a part of my body completely, it kind of started ignoring me, if that makes sense. I had always worked to try and get rid of them, but when I started to pay attention, things felt better. Even now though, in terms of skin sensitivity, they're much more sensitive than the rest of my legs. I don't know if this is any sort of insight, and maybe you're heard this one hundred times before, but I thought it was fascinating. Self love...crazy stuff. Now I make an effort every day to give my legs some love.

Had to tell you--I thought it was too cool.

Love you, and hope you're having a great day (don't work too hard).

Elk"

Pretty cool ey? It reminded me, that we are made up of energy. Every cell vibrates at a certain vibration and my sister began vibrating at a higher (healthier and happier) level and so her body responded, which is helping her to keep her weight down and appreciate its beauty.

I hope you are igniting the parts of your body that you challenge to love with warmth, love and joy.

If you need a little help in doing so, I can help you at: www.thinwithin.com/coaching.htm

Thank you sis!

Love,
Marna

How to Eat Mouth Watering Stuffing at Thanksgiving, Without Getting Stuffed?

2008-11-19T21:18:00.001-07:00

Everyone loves Thanksgiving, don’t they? Yet there have been plenty of holiday meals where many have felt like large rolly pollies complete with hands on our aching, protruding bellies. Pants are stretched out to maximum capacity by the time the end of the holidays roll around, from all the stuffing, turkey, cranberries, and pumpkin pie -- just some of the fabulous delicacies that make holiday meals absolutely scrumptious.

What if this holiday season you could enjoy all these delicious foods, but not overdo it? Yes, eat and enjoy, but know that by January 1st you won't be looking for a weight loss plan to take all that holiday weight off. This holiday will be different for you. We know t it can! Here are five (5) tips to keep you feeling in tip-top shape both mind and body:

1. Differentiate between loving food and NEEDING food. It’s critical to get a handle on holiday foods by making sure you do up-front mental and emotional clearings before walking into a whole house full of “trigger-foods”. Turkey, stuffing and pecan pies are delicious - but if you are feeling physically, emotionally, or psychologically drawn to these foods, then you must get these balanced out so you enjoy these without HAVING to devour every single morsel.

2. Have you ever noticed that you overdo your eating out of habit, even when there is no logical reason for it? For example, every holiday season you absentmindedly overeat at Aunt Selma’s house and it’s just the way it is. It’s as if you set yourself up to fail or overeat just because it’s the thing to do. What if it weren’t? What if the thing to do was to stay in harmony with your body – feeling totally confident that you would eat what your body needs and not an ounce more? This automatic way of overeating during the holiday season is due to your cellular memory around this time of year. Your cells have become accustomed to overeating out of habit - it's what we call you "cellular memory". This memory is entirely unconscious and both your mind and your body will continue to repeat these old holiday patterns because your cellular memory is literally in the groove of having it this way. As you change your cells and their vibration, then you change this memory and your holiday eating outcome.

3. Begin clearing your holiday food triggers on ALL levels: the physical body is where you hold childhood and adolescent food triggers. The physical body cares primarily about keeping you protected and safe. The emotional body holds on to foods for comfort and soothing; mainly anything that is missing from the emotional body. The mental body holds on to food for either frustrated or boredom. Frustration being a conflicting emotion between what you desire and what you should do; like when you really want to go to sleep, but it's 3:00 in the afternoon and you have tons on your plate so you can’t. As you begin identifying which body the craving originates from, you can clear the source of the craving and by clearing on ALL levels, you can have permanent results.

4. Find a program that will help you achieve permanent results. YOU are an individual, and YOU need an individualized method for tapping into why you lose focus and ultimately end up eating too much. Tapping into your OWN infinite wisdom or finding someone to help you do so can be extremely helpful in finding exactly what works for you and your body this holiday season. Using a technique that goes directly to the original source -- the exact moment when you created the craving or need for these trigger foods (even if you aren't consciously aware of when that was!) And going back to the originating event is what helps you to clear it permanently. EFT and other clearing practices can be a great way to see permanent or semi-permanent results. This holiday season make sure you find a program or strategy that sticks.

5 . Recent research has established that overweight people overeat because their food cravings are controlled by the same part of the brain that control drug cravings in addicts. This brain circuitry located in the hippocampus is the part of the brain that is also involved with emotion. It's no wonder that during the holiday season your brain circuitry is driven wild by all the foods that are constantly being placed in front of you - whether it's a holiday meal, massive amounts of extra food at the office, or commercials everywhere encouraging you to buy, buy, buy. These powerful findings acknowledge and reinforce the fact that dealing with emotions is not only powerful, but necessary. Using energy work along side cognitive and behavioral coaching to conquer food cravings will help you eliminate and clear blocked food cravings so you can experience the holiday season with freedom, joy and thinness.

Non-Diet Diva Marna Goldstein Thall and Belief-Shifting Expert Amy Scott Grant have teamed up to create a powerful technology to permanently clear food triggers and addictions. Learn more about the “Free From Food” audio program by visiting this site: http://thinwithin.com/freefromfood.htm

7 Sizzling Ways To Ignite Your Weight Loss Goals

2008-11-07T10:45:00.003-07:00

Here are seven super ways for you to begin seeing faster, more permanent weight loss goals.

1. Create a visual of your best self. Has it been awhile since you’ve seen your body look the way you want it to? Cut out a magazine photo of your desired body, chop off the head and put your smiling face in its place. This will be a great daily reminder of where you’re headed.

2. Multiply your efforts by teaching others to eat, think and live naturally thin. As the saying goes “Repetition is the Mother of All Learning”. Become a support group leader to reinforce your actions. Sign up today at: http://www.thinwithin.com/groups.htm

3. Keep on top of your goals. After your body goals are crafted keep them at bay. Try on those “skinny jeans” each Friday and watch your legs begin to glide into your goal pants. Using a tape measure can also be effective. Use a tape measure the largest part of your upper arm and leg, under your bust and the smallest part of your waist.

4. Focus on your best body features. Keep in mind that you have some fantastic features, so make sure they get attention every day. Focus on your best features by commenting on them, loving them, massaging them and just plain noticing them. Remember, what you focus on expands.

5. Trust your body to change. If you criticize everything you put into your mouth, you will fail to slim down, period. Begin trusting your body to guide toward thinness. Just listen. There’s not one diet that could tell you more about your body than you already know.

6. Increase your support network. Everything is more enjoyable when you have a supportive cheerleading squad. Whether your goals include working out, learning to eat differently, or eating slim, a supportive environment will step-up your results. We have a supportive environment right here at http://www.ThinWithinU.com

7. Train yourself to speak kinder about your body. Keep on top of yourself to body-loving. I know you’ve looked back at old photos when you thought you were fat, but you weren’t! If you have been sending negative messages to your body for years – now is the perfect time to stop. It only makes you heavier.

This Election Was About Promise and Potential

2008-11-05T15:18:00.002-07:00

With the turnout of the election on everyone's mind, I thought I would share with you
a beautiful email written by my good friend Andy...

"I started and stopped drafting this e-mail several times this morning, as I'm a little overwhelmed by the moment and its implications for not only our great country, but the world at large.

You see, this election wasn't just about an African-American candidate, or a war hero, or even a governor from Alaska. It was about promise and potential; about the chance to look at the ways we can reform the process of government and being governed; about how small steps can add up to major, previously inconceivable, opportunities for the disenfranchised; about how every person on this planet is created equal and has the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

That last phrase - life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness - I'm sure you agree with its premise, but perhaps you think it's a little idealistic given the realities of our world and the lure that power can have for the few that grab it at the expense of the many. I wonder sometimes if our jaded, cynical nature hinders our ability to see the opportunities that are right in front of us.

This morning, however, hope has overcome cynicism. Truth has overcome stereotype. The rhetoric of fear has been replaced with an innate sense possibility. And for the first time in my life, I feel a tangible, moral obligation to participate in, rather than merely commentate on, the change happening in our country.

After every election, we hear that the time has come to unite behind the winner, to reach across the aisle to create meaningful change, to put aside the slings and arrows that mark every political debate, to step forward as a nation rather than factions who point fingers at those who don't hold the same beliefs. Today, that call is more important than its ever been, and it's something that's relevant - and recognized - on a global level.

Certainly, there is a lot of work to do. Our economy is in ruins. Our education system is broken. Healthcare is expensive and out of reach for a growing portion of our citizenry. Social Security will be bankrupt sooner than most of us want to admit. Terrorism is alive and it's not going away. The deterioration of the environment is real and our "footprint" will impact not only our experience in this world, but that of our children and grandchildren as well.

As I think about each of these issues, it is easy to get bogged down in the enormity of it all, to wonder how we even begin to address these problems. But at the same time, I can't help but feel like we've just reached a new starting line, and the rules of engagement have changed. In 1965, we passed the Voting Rights Act, and less than 50 years later we have an African American president. That was a new starting line in history and look where we are today.

Hopefully, 50 years from now the sentiment will be, "why was the 2008 election such a big deal?" If that comes to pass, it means we'll have built on this latest step forward to create a new reality - a reality that is based on hope and opportunity, on "why not?" rather than "no chance."

We have a long road ahead of us and we will all make mistakes in our pursuit of change. But it's not how we place blame for those mistakes that will matter most - it's how we learn from our mistakes and take meaningful, corrective action that's the real imperative.

The campaign for change is over, but the fun is just getting started. Americans are known for sacrificing and working hard when the dream is there for the taking. I hope you'll join me in the pursuit."

My 7 Keys To Finding Mr. Right

2008-11-03T10:46:00.006-07:00

Now that the wedding is over, life is back to normal
and I'm inspired to share with you some thoughts
on relationships.

Many of you were wondering what my husband looks
like, so I posted a picture of us so you could see him.

This picture was taken in Downtown Denver and
is one of my favorite engagement pictures.

I know I typically talk about eating, food,
losing weight and living thin-but today
for some strange reason, I'm particularly
interested in talking about relationships.

I've been in a bunch of relationships, but
why does this one work over all the others
I've been in?

Are you trying to figure out some things
in your relationship?

Here are a few things I have learned
in my long journey to finding my husband:

1. Do you have similar values - in your core,
are your values similar?

2. I truly believe that love is not enough.
I've been in love before but those relationships
would have struggled because the only thing we had
was love. Do you have similar friends, families
that love and support you, a community, similar
religion...I believe other connections need to be
in place to keep you tied together besides your love.

3. Do you trust your partner 100%? I've been
cheated on, I've been lied to, I've been kept in
the dark...and they all suck! Does your partner
reveal everything to you? Do you feel that you
could trust your significant other with anything
and everything?

4. Do you feel your best when you're with your
significant other? Okay, I'm not saying we
don't get irritated with one another, because we
most certainly do, but I feel like the sexiest,
happiest, cutest thing around. When you're together,
do you mostly feel happy, joyful, and supported
to be your best self?

5. Does your partner want to be with you? I know
this sounds silly, but I've been with people who
have enjoyed being with me, but my husband
LOVES being with me. He loves our partnership,
couldn't wait to get married, lives and breathes
for my happiness (as I his), and it's not unhealthy
in nature...it's just that we're eachother's top
priority-no questions asked. You want a partner
that you don't have to guess with; that you just
know loves you to pieces! You deserve it.

6. You can move through fights. I'm a
tough cookie who's quite stubborn and you
may be too. I have found that the difference between
my current relationship vs. others, is that we
can move through fights easily. We get angry (well
me mostly), we talk through it and pow -it's done.
If you can't move through fights and find that it takes
days to recover or the silent treatment takes hold for
days, etc...it should be easier!

7. Which leads me to the seventh and final major learning-
A relationship should be pretty darn easy. Most relationships
I've been in have been pretty tough, and when you're
with the right person, it's pretty darn easy. It's not to say
you don't have your moments, but mostly, things come easy.

Wishing you love and happiness always.

DIET INTERVENTION: STOP DRIVING YOURSELF CRAZY AND START GETTING RESULTS

2008-10-30T09:37:00.002-07:00

Do you drive yourself crazy trying to keep up with the latest diet trends? If so, Stop! Please. You have enough to worry about already. Quit running yourself ragged or spending a fortune trying to keep up with the latest and greatest diet tricks and tips. The truth is, your body knows what you need and no matter what expert or what new research is out there, experts know way less then you do about your body.

To be perfectly honest, slimming down is largely dependent on the inner body cues. There's no magic formula you must follow to the letter but there are a number of simple things you can better understand and do to help get you reach your weight loss goals and it's a lot easier than most people think.

First and most importantly, remember that your body speaks to you. If you end up listening to what your body says to you in the morning, afternoon and evening, you will be what I consider an "your body authority" which can automatically double your weight loss goals. Here's what I mean...

If you begin to partner with your body and listen to the inner hunger, satiety, thirst, and discomfort signals, ) you will see that it tells you precisely when it wants you to begin your meal and when it wants you to end a meal. If you’ve been listening to a diet or your mind for instruction, you are making things way to complicated Slimming down and keeping weight off is not supposed to be challenging, when you listen it’s a snap.

Secondly, the biggest and most important piece of the puzzle is trusting your body to guide you. If you’ve struggled with added pounds for any length of time you may not trust that your body can guide you to thinness, yet it guides you to breathe, to signal you to use the restroom, to sleep, to blink, and so much more. This means that your body was designed to beautifully signal you to sustain a beautiful and healthy you. By beginning to trust your body you will begin to create a more positive and healthy relationship with your body is technique I just love to teach.
So if you are listening and trusting your body to slim down, you are expecting positive and powerful results. Excuses like slow metabolism, sleepiness, you’re just meant to be fat, and such are just a waste of your precious words and brain power. When you expect to see a slim you in the mirror and you tie in listening to your body and trusting that it will slim down, results are a given.

And by the way, if you’ve dieted for any length of time, it just gets in the way of listening and trusting your body. You give over your inner wisdom to some book or some diet…and who stays on diets for any length of time?

If you really want to get the most out of your body, consider listening and trusting. Naturally thin people are pros at this and they never put their eating habits in the hands of anyone but themselves. They listen. You do the same!
Good luck!

2008-10-21T14:21:00.002-07:00

The stress of losing tons of money in the stock market, seeing our retirement money go down the drain (man, I would have really enjoyed traveling around the world ....twice) and not knowing if gas prices are going up or down, if banks are secure and if who's going to win for President is all kind of stressful.

Why Marriages and Diets Fail

2008-09-11T13:17:00.001-07:00

Maybe I’ve got marriage on my mind (duh, I just got married less then two weeks ago), but I’ve been thinking a lot about success…

50% of marriages fail and over 90% of diets fail

Yet, 50% of marriages do work and there are a ton of skinny men and women out there who would never think of dieting (by now if you don’t know how stupid diets are then I’m going to hurt you if you hop on another Monday morning diet! Stop it.).

Here are seven ways you can dramatically increase your personal success and begin sloughing of pounds right away:

1. Know what you want and write it down

List 10 super-motivating reasons why you must make a change today to look dashing. For example: "increase my energy level" or "fit into that new slinky bikini" or “be an example for my children”, etc. Keep the list handy either in your purse or at your desk where you cannot miss it. When your motivations dips, or when you want to throw your hands up in a weak moment this list will guarantee that you focus on where you’re heading.

If you want to be in a relationship, you have to know why so you can attract just the right person into your life.

2. Commit

As with any successful marriage or relationship, you’ve got to commit. Commit to slim down and no matter what happens, rain or shine, you are committed to thinking and living thin (just like being committed to your loved one) and getting a fabulous figure. Adopt that "I can do it" attitude, because you can!

3. Appreciate the good

You can’t have a successful relationship/marriage if you aren’t focused on what is positive about the other person, right? Well why in the world would you think you could have a fabulous relationship with your body if all you do is focus on your fat? Simply, you can’t! A relationship will never work if you bark at your significant other all the time or focus on his/her faults. That’s just a divorce waiting to happen (or a binge when you are trying to slim down!)

Slimming down while noticing and finding all the fabulous parts of your body will get you lasting results-fast. Look at yourself right now in the mirror and find two parts that you can say “yes” about. It may be only a few beautiful parts that you can come up with, but the more you do it, the more parts you will find.

4. Have fun

This whole weight-loss thing may be work at times (like a relationship), but it should be mostly fun! Find the joy in slimming down. It can be fun you know! I know some of you don’t believe me, just like some of you don’t think a relationship is all that much fun, but it can be. It’s all in your perception.

Think about what’s fun about slimming down…it’s fun to dream about a thinner body, it’s fun to learn what your body wants and needs, it’s fun to see results, and it’s fun knowing that we all have bodies that can change size. I know it’s not all that fun when your body changes to the larger size (I know with having my thyroid out this year…that gaining weight is not that much fun…but I also know that you can slim back down too…and we’re all so lucky to be able to slim down!)

5. You’ve got to listen

A relationship/marriage will thrive when you really know your partner, and the only way to really know your partner is by listening. Well your body speaks too. It tells you which foods don’t agree with your digestive system, which foods you may have sensitivities to, as well as which foods digest beautifully in your body. Listening to what and when your body needs food is probably the most important aspect of maintaining a healthy weight (just like a marriage…so I’ve been told).

6. Keep the passion alive

Seeing the pounds fall off is exciting, but what happens when you plateau? It can get awfully frustrating not seeing results…just like when you’re in a relationship and it’s just kind of boring and dull!

Well do something to liven things up: plan a vacation that kicks you into gear, start making date nights where you have to wear something that blows your partner away, or go get your nails done for a reasonable price at a beauty school.

Take care of yourself at all times and it will make the peaks and valleys delightful.

7. Recharge your motivation battery

Do you ever get all jazzed up about slimming down and sticks with you for about two weeks or for some of you just two days…and then you await the excitement and motivation again? You are in the majority.

Motivation is something you have to DO. It’s not passive. So kick the passive habit by doing something great for yourself like putting new and fun pictures up on your vision board, create a new goal, visualize how fabulous you are becoming in your new thin body, or just jump around the house saying “I’m fabulous” (if you dance around your house telling your partner he or she is fabulous, I guarantee you’ll energize your relationship – while giving the two of you a good laugh).

Can You Really Think Yourself Thin?

2008-08-14T10:33:00.001-07:00

With all the information on the Law of Attraction, including CNN's Larry King Live, where Mr. King interviewed a panel of law of attraction experts regarding how what you think turns into the events you experience in every area of your life, including your body.

For years, my "positive thinking" and goal-setting strategies were often criticized as “new age” or “ahead of its time” and for years I kept seeing the positive results of thousands and just kept forging ahead, ignoring all the nay Sayers.

Now, over the past two years, unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’ve either seen “The Secret” or heard about "the law of attraction" which for some has been characterized as "new age" fluff.

On the Larry King show, Oprah, and many other shows, a panel of experts including Bob Proctor, John Assaraf and others who were featured in the movie 'The Secret' reveal why the "law of attraction" and "positive thinking" all work, regardless of whether you look at them from a metaphysical or a scientific perspective.

The truth is, many of us are still running negative programs we picked up from our parents, our friends, the television and the media. Unconsciously we fed our impressionable little minds with some good and some negative programming.

To change your results of these negative daily thoughts, you must overwrite old negative programming and instill positive new programming into your unconscious.

This can be achieved through such techniques as written goal setting, positive self-talk, visualization, focused meditation; all very effective weight loss techniques. Visualization was first used by he Soviets. They used a strategy of mental rehearsal with athletes. The results were incredible, as these athletes dominated numerous Olympic sports activities. Today, virtually all elite athletes use visualization extensively.

Why, because we know that the brain cannot differentiate between real practices and practice that is vividly imagined. So, if you want to get thin, can you begin practicing being thin? Yes, of course! Does it work? Absolutely, the results in my practice prove it. Men and women alike find that when they feed their conscious and unconscious minds with positive and powerful mental images, positive feelings, the visuals of living in their thin bodies, and so forth, they begin to see their bodies slim down and their body-love and body-esteem increases as well.

Find out what your thoughts are by looking at your results. If you are seeing your pants tighten when you want them to loosen, or you see the same healthy problems or the same weight on the scale, then you most certainly have been reinforcing your conscious and unconscious mind with negative thoughts.

It takes approximately 30 days to make a break a habit, so over the next 30 days, begin to pour into your mind positive thoughts and change your internal dialogue to serve you and your life. Practiced frequently, you will begin to reprogram the your life to see faster and better weight loss results.

Start today by saying, "I am becoming leaner, thinner and healthier every day!”

So does this "positive thinking" and “law of attraction” thing really work?

Ummm, yeah! There’s a reason that I’ve been in business for over 12 years, kept my weight off and helped thousands see their weight fall off too. I believe that in order to change your weight, you must change your mind!

Training your mind is the biggest missed secret to a thin you.

What is a Naturally Thin Person, Anyway?

One of my favorite things in the whole world is inspiring
men and women to live thin...naturally thin.

naturally thin individual is vs. an unnaturally thin person.

Perfectionsim Sucks Your Weight Loss Efforts Out the Door

2008-07-21T09:51:00.001-07:00

Are you a perfectionist that wants, or rather needs everything to be a certain way? Is slimming down driving you crazy because you want the weight to come off in a certain manner, but it’s just not!

Perfectionism can make slimming down impossible. Here are just a few of the negative consequences that I see in my practice:

Low self-esteem. Perfectionists never feels ``good enough'' about personal performance, so feelings of being a failure' often result.

Guilt. Perfectionists never feel good about the way responsibility has been handled and guilt may result.

Pessimism. Perfectionists are often convinced that it will be extremely difficult to achieve an ``ideal goal,'' so being pessimistic about future efforts to reach a goal is commonplace.

Depression. Needing always to be ``perfect,'' yet recognizing that it is impossible to achieve such a goal is depressing!

Rigidity. Needing to have everything in one's life perfect can lead a perfectionist to an extreme case of being inflexible and rigid.

Obsessiveness. Being in need of an excessive amount of order, pattern, or structure in life can lead a perfectionistic person to become obsessive to maintain a certain order.

Compulsive behavior. Over-indulgence or the compulsive use of alcohol, drugs, gambling, food, shopping, food, is often used to medicate a perfectionist who feels like a failure for never being able to be ``good enough'' in life.

Lack of motivation. Believing that the goal of ``slimming down'' will never be able to be perfectly achieved can often give a perfectionist a lack of motivation to attempt change in the first place.

Immobilization. Perfectionists often feel burdened with an extreme fear of failure, the person can become immobilized. With no energy to improve or change the problem stagnation can occur.

Can you relate to one or more of these?

Is perfectionism wreaking havoc on your goals to slim down?

If so, tonight I’ll be walking you through a workshop focused on identifying where your perfectionistic tendencies are holding you back from slimming down, and you’ll map out a plan to move through the shackles of perfection to experience freedom, joy and the possibility of thinness!

How's Your Self-Talk?

2008-07-07T20:24:00.001-07:00

Do you know that your self-talk runs your life?

If you have chatter that is telling you that you are fabulous and thin, you will be. If, on the other hand, you have chatter that tells you that your thyroid, your genes, your mother-brother-aunt-or sister is responsible, then you will believe it and feel terrible.

I want you to feel great and I see my job as helping you to slim down and feel your best.

One way that may be getting in the way of you feeling and looking your best, is your self-talk or mind chatter.

In order for you to see long-term results, then it is critical that your mind is in alignment with your desire to slim down and live as a thin person.

Imagine teaching a six year old to ride a bike. Then, every time she places her food on the pedal you scream out to her “You’re not doing it right.” Over and over she would hear you tell her this message. Would you think she would be excited and motivated to hop on her bike after hearing you scream at her half-a-dozen times? Of course not, you could easily see her self-esteem crumble and the experience of riding her bike would be a negative one.

Are you doing the exact same thing every time you step on the scale or
catch a glimpse of yourself in front of the mirror? Are you basically telling yourself “You don’t look right?”

You are invited to join me on Wednesday while I share with you, five critical steps to mastering your self-talk for once an for all.

5 naturally thin tips to get through the weekend...

2008-07-01T08:41:00.001-07:00

4th of July is coming up…here are 5 naturally thin tips to get through the weekend...

1. Set the intention to have a thin weekend. My clients often share with me their fear of eating out of control, eating too much, or jeopardizing their fantastic results during the 4th of July holiday weekend. If this sounds familiar, set the intention each morning to eat and live thin. Visualize yourself being in control of what you put in your body. See yourself having gobs of energy and being the life of the party. When you set your intention each and every day, you are more apt to see fantastic results!

2. Make sure you enjoy your friends and family, not just the food. Socialize, talk to friends, catch up with family members and make sure you enjoy socializing and asking questions versus just enjoying the food. Naturally thin people help out the host and take it upon themselves to be of service. Examples include helping to clean up, organizing things in the kitchen, helping to BBQ, or even go out of your way to make sure everyone has a drink. Find a job and you will find yourself naturally focusing on others, not just on the food.

3. Make a point of grabbing the good stuff first. When you see a delicious spread of 4th of July goodies. Check in first to see if you are hungry. If so, eat the foods that look the best first. Take 10 slow bites and then run around and socialize. If you find yourself hungry 10-20 minutes later, eat your next favorite foods. When you eat your favorite foods first, you will feel psychologically satisfied, and any sense of deprivation will magically disappear (this is the secret that every naturally thin person knows intuitively!).

4. Play. Get out this weekend and play with your loved ones. Play in the park, go for a bike ride, take the dogs to the dog park and walk, play in the pool, or go for a light jog. Have fun together and enjoy your weekend by getting out and moving.

5. Alternate water with your favorite drink. The 4th of July is a great time to drink your favorite beer or glass of wine. Alternate a glass of water with a glass of wine or beer so that you can pay attention to the impact alcohol is having on your body (if you do in fact drink). Have fun, but stay in control. Your body will thank you.

Enjoy your weekend!

Love,
Marna

2008-06-18T10:55:00.002-07:00

Hate Exercise? I Found Something You Will Love

I'll be totally honest...I hate working out. Hate is a strong word, but truly I'm not one of those people who jump out of bed in the morning eager to go for a jog, push massive amounts of weights against my chest or pedal for hours on a bike. I'm just not that woman.

True, I used to be something of an athlete, but those days are looooonnnggggg gone.

About six years ago I noticed my thin little parents wearing funny little matching gadgets on their belt. It definitely didn't add to the cool factor, but these gadgets were pretty small and barely noticeable. They told me that they were trying to get in 10,000 steps in daily and this little pedometer gadget measured their steps.

Cool, I thought…but not for me!

A few months ago I started wearing one and it has been so much fun, I even created a pedometer challenge for myself and others.

What’s great is that when I began to track my steps, I really do walk more. I quickly learned that the word couch potato had a large picture of me in the encyclopedia. My steps were around 3,000 which are really, really low. The reason being is that I barely ever move my body during the day since I'm in front of the computer or on the phone with clients.

I knew I had to up the ante if I were to change my super sloth like ways and get more active, so I created the Pedometer Challenge on my new Membership Site www.thinwithinu.com. There's a place on the Challenge where you track your daily steps and we’re all in there having a blast. I even dropped my pedometer in the toilet…and we all laughed about it (don’t worry, I’m using another one). I thought that if I created gifts for the most steps walked and the greatest percentage increased each month, I could win too and so could you!

Ready, Get Set, Walk!

If you are a beginner, this will help you get ready for the calorie-burning routines in the coming weeks. If you already want more of a challenge, feel free to do more of the Fat-Burning Cardio routines instead of the basic walk.

1. Go out and purchase a pedometer at Target.
2. Go to http://www.thinwithin.com and sign up for the membership site and begin logging you steps daily. You’ll get in the habit and you’ll be able to win $97 products and other fun gifts at the end of the month!!

Then…use these fun ways to increase your steps:
1. Park a little further out.
2. I love hanging out at the mall - I make shopping my new way to get in a whole slew of steps. I'll go from store to store walking around. It's so much fun!
3. Go to Costco. If you have a Costco membership then use it for more than just buying food. Walk up and down the isles and I'm sure you'll get those steps in, in no time.
4. This one is weird - I don't do it but when it's hot outside, my parents like to walk office-building empty parking structures. I told you it's weird, but they like being out the sun and getting their steps in, so I thought I'd share it with you.
5. For the Real Estate Lover- I love looking at real estate so my fiancé and I will pick a neighborhood and walk around gaining an understanding of the neighborhood. We'll pull for sale signs, look at what rents are going and even find some good foreclosure properties.
6. The Social Climber - Besides loving real estate, I absolutely love looking at monstrous houses. I like to imagine who lives in those gigantic homes. I wonder what they do for a living and I guess how they made their money. I like to sometimes just surround myself around wealth and these houses, so this is a fun one!
7. I love Dog Parks Too - I like to take my dogs to the dog parks and when I do, I walk the perimeter of the dog park, throw balls and run around like a nut with my dogs. They get a work out and so do I.
8. Walking stairs - This is for the advanced walker and you must consult your physician first before doing this one. My father gets a kick out of walking the stairs in his office building. When he gets to work he walks up seven flights of stairs, when he goes to lunch he walks down those seven flights of stairs and then back up after lunch, and finally completes his day by walking down them. I personally think it's torture, but sometimes when I do in fact wish to torture myself I will walk a few flights of stairs. It definitely gets the blood rushing and I feel it! If you want to get in shape quickly, this is a good one.

Besides being an enjoyable and often scenic mode of transportation, putting your best foot forward can improve your fitness, health and sense of well-being. By walking daily and increasing your steps per day you can:
•Boost energy, reduce stress and improve your mood
•Help your heart, lungs and muscles work more efficiently
•Reduce blood pressure and cholesterol levels
•Help reduce the risk of chronic diseases, heart disease and strokes
•Help prevent and control diabetes
•Strengthen bones and help prevent or control osteoporosis
•Improve the mobility and stability of joints
•Maintain a healthy weight and a positive body image, especially when combined with healthy eating
•Enjoy a pleasurable activity while you socialize with family or friends

I did a little research for you and studies show that taking about 10,000 is 5 miles, and walking 5 miles randomly here and there is the target for improving health and reducing risk of chronic disease. Most people, like my old self (just a few months ago) average about 2,000 to 4,000 steps a day in routine activity. So really, all I have to do to bump up my steps is go for an awesome walk with the dogs after dinner or go shopping…and POW, my steps are done.

If you are a beginner, this will help you get ready for the calorie-burning routines in the coming weeks. If you already want more of a challenge, feel free to do more of the Fat-Burning Cardio routines instead of the basic walk.

Enjoy your walking and if you need some encouragement, head to www.thinwithin.com and sign up for the membership. It’s been a blast!

Well stop!

This Will Make You Think - It Touched My Heart

2008-04-25T09:32:00.001-07:00

My question is: Would you have made the same choice?

At a fundraising dinner for a school that serves learning-disabled children, the father of one of the students delivered a speech that would never be forgotten by all who attended. After extolling the school and its dedicated staff, he offered a question: 'When not interfered with by outside influences, everything nature does is done with perfection. Yet my son, Shay, cannot learn things as other children do. He cannot understand things as other children do. Where is the natural order of things in my son?'

The audience was stilled by the query.

The father continued. 'I believe that when a child like Shay, physically and mentally handicapped comes into the world, an opportunity to realize true human nature presents itself, and it comes in the way other people treat that child.'

Then he told the following story:

Shay and his father had walked past a park where some boys Shay knew were playing baseball.. Shay asked, 'Do you think they'll let me play?' Shay's father knew that most of the boys would not want someone like Shay on their team, but the father also understood that if his son were allowed to play, it would give him a much-needed sense of belonging and some confidence to be accepted by others in spite of his handicaps.

Shay's father approached one of the boys on the field and asked (not expecting much) if Shay could play. The boy looked around for guidance and said, 'We're losing by six runs and the game is in the eighth inning. I guess he can be on our team and we'll try to put him in to bat in the ninth inning.'

Shay struggled over to the team's bench and, with a broad smile, put on a team shirt. His Father watched with a small tear in his eye and warmth in his heart. The boys saw the father's joy at his son being accepted. In the bottom of the eighth inning, Shay's team scored a few runs but was still behind by three. In the top of the ninth inning, Shay put on a glove and played in the right field. Even though no hits came his way, he was obviously ecstatic just to be in the game and on the field, grinning from ear to ear as his father waved to him from the stands. In the bottom of the ninth inning, Shay's team scored again. Now, with two outs and the bases loaded, the potential winning run was on base and Shay was scheduled to be next at bat.

At this juncture, do they let Shay bat and give away their chance to win the game? Surprisingly, Shay was given the bat.. Everyone knew that a hit was all but impossible because Shay didn't even know how to hold the bat properly, much less connect with the ball.

However, as Shay stepped up to the plate, the pitcher, recognizing that the other team was putting winning aside for this moment in Shay's life, moved in a few steps to lob the ball in softly so Shay could at least make contact. The first pitch came and Shay swung clumsily and missed. The pitcher again took a few steps forward to toss the ball softly towards Shay. As the pitch came in, Shay swung at the ball and hit a slow ground ball right back to the pitcher.

The game would now be over. The pitcher picked up the soft grounder and could have easily thrown the ball to the first baseman. Shay would have been out and that would have been the end of the game.

Instead, the pitcher threw the ball right over the first baseman's head, out of reach of all team mates. Everyone from the stands and both teams started yelling, 'Shay, run to first! Run to first!' Never in his life had Shay ever run that far, but he made it to first base. He scampered down the baseline, wide-eyed and startled.

Everyone yelled, 'Run to second, run to second!' Catching his breath, Shay awkwardly ran towards second, gleaming and struggling to make it to the base. By the time Shay rounded towards second base, the right fielder had the ball .... the smallest guy on their team who now had his first chance to be the hero for his team. He could have thrown the ball to the second-baseman for the tag, but he understood the pitcher's intentions so he, too, intentionally threw the ball high and far over the third-baseman's head. Shay ran toward third base deliriously as the runners ahead of him circled the bases toward home.

All were screaming, 'Shay, Shay, Shay, all the Way Shay'

Shay reached third base because the opposing shortstop ran to help him by turning him in the direction of third base, and shouted, 'Run to third! Shay, run to third!'

As Shay rounded third, the boys from both teams, and the spectators, were on their feet screaming, 'Shay, run home! Run home!' Shay ran to home, stepped on the plate, and was cheered as the hero who hit the grand slam and won the game for his team.

'That day', said the father softly with tears now rolling down his face, 'the boys from both teams helped bring a piece of true love and humanity into this world'.

Shay didn't make it to another summer. He died that winter, having never forgotten being the hero and making his father so happy, and coming home and seeing his Mother tearfully embrace her little hero of the day!

AND NOW A LITTLE FOOTNOTE TO THIS STORY: We all send thousands of jokes through the e-mail without a second thought, but when it comes to sending messages about life choices, people hesitate. The crude, vulgar, and often obscene pass freely through cyberspace, but public discussion about decency is too often suppressed in our schools and workplaces.

If you're thinking about forwarding this message, chances are that you're probably sorting out the people in your address book who aren't the 'appropriate' ones to receive this type of message. Well, the person who sent you this believes that we all can make a difference. We all have thousands of opportunities every single day to help realize the 'natural order of things.' So many seemingly trivial interactions between two people present us with a choice: Do we pass along a little spark of love and humanity or do we pass up those opportunities and leave the world a little bit colder in the process?

A wise man once said every society is judged by how it treats it's least fortunate amongst them.

You now have two choices:
1. Delete
2. Forward

My Comments On Paul McKenna's "I Can Make You Thin"

2008-03-21T08:38:00.003-07:00

Have you seen the new show "I can make you thin" on TLC?

Well I have to admit, it's a pretty darn good show and
Paul McKenna talked this week about the four
golden rules to living thin. I have to tell you, he
uses the exact same words and methods that I do.

In fact, when I was watching the show, my significant
other was sure that he took my information.
He was jumping up and down saying "Are you kidding
me..it's the exact same information."

Well...what can I say, another brilliant mind like
mine exists....I'm just kidding :)

I'm sure we both came up with similare
information over the years. Frankly - it works! I
have people seeing massive results every single day!!

In any case, many of you have written asking me to
comment on the show. I agree with his golden rules
for slimming down, yet there were several things
he left out however, so I tried to capture a few
of them for you on this youtube video.

http://www.youtube.com/user/thinwithin

Marna

P.S. It's a 7-minute clip..I know it's a little dorky, but
come-on, it's my first one.

Let me know your thoughts. If you like them, I'll keep
making more.

Having a Frumpy Day

2008-02-28T08:17:00.000-07:00

Are you having one of these days?

I'm out here iat Universal Studios in California for a
conference.

I just pitched ThinWithin.com to the Tyra show and E! and
they both lit up at the whole notion of thinking thin.

However....

I was wearing jeans and a sweater when talking with them,
not my finest attire.

When I put on my black pants yesterday morning, I was
shocked to find that the metal piece on my waistband
had fallen off, so I was only left with jeans to wear.

I felt dumpy. I felt unprofessional and I felt
pretty uncomfortable.

So here's what I want you to know... no matter
whether you're a size 2 or a size 22, you have
dumpy days. The key is not to make it last or
you could find yourself feeling worse and find
yourself 10 pounds heavier in no time.

I'm heading into day two of my seminar, and
I'm sure to meet many new producers and authors.

I realize that this conference might not be
my best feeling conference, but I just woke
up, did some yoga and meditated overlooking
beautiful rolling hills in my hotel, all of
which connected me and energizing me. I said
affirmations of love and gratitude, and
I know I will eat in alignment to my body.

Despite my outfit today (who knows what
that will be), I will smile and stand tall.
I will put on makeup and look my best.

I say all this to inspire you to
do the same today. We all have "not so
attractive" days, it's normal. Just
don't take it out on your body by
overeating or sliding into a depression by
turning to food.

Stand up tall, walk with confidence and
smile knowing that you can do anything!!

You are beautiful.

Will all the love in my heart,
Marna

Can Lipstick Make You Thin??

2008-02-06T10:12:00.000-07:00

Have you ever been sitting in your
car listening to the radio - when something
grabs you?

The other day I was sitting in the
car and I heard my favorite morning
DJ's talking about this certain lipstick
that will make you thin.

My initial reaction was "Are you
kidding me? What stupid diet
invention are they coming up with
now?"

But then I thought about it...

Of course lipstick can make you
thin!!!

You don't need any particular lipstick,
yours will do the trick.

It's true! When you feel good about
yourself and wear lipstick, splash
on your favorite perfume/cologne, or
lather your body in delicious smelling
lotion, of course you can slim down.

I see it in my practice ALL the time!

Slimming down is all about how you
love yourself. How you care for your
body and what you do to nurture it.

So reach into your purse and throw
on a gorgeous shade of lipstick, and
know, that the more you do now to
feel good about your body, the more your
body with thank you.

Marna

P.S. I have created a very special
treat for you that I'll be sharing
in the next few days...until then,
I'm finishing up the last touches!

What Are You Putting Off Due to Your Weight?

2008-01-10T14:30:00.000-07:00

What are you putting off due to your weight?

This past weekend I was up in Vail with some friends, staying in this incredible condo only yards from the lift.

In years past I have always been a bit shy skiing with others, worrying that I wouldn’t be good enough, or that they would make fun of me.

This weekend I found myself skiing with four other men, all of which are pretty darn good snowboarders. At first I wanted to ski off on my own, for fear of looking like a goob. Yet, I held it together and skied with them for several runs.

What I realized is that for over two decades of me skiing, I’ve been scared to ski with others because I thought I would lag behind and I was fearful that I would be embarrassed. What I found out this weekend was that I’m a pretty darn good skier for someone who doesn’t ski all that often, and that I have absolutely no reason to be embarrassed.

How many things are you putting off due to your body? Do you find yourself scared to take on skiing, biking, wearing beautiful clothes, or even coaching with me because you know I’ll hold you accountable?

What would life look like if you didn’t hold back? If you faced your fear?

I encourage you to do one thing this week that you’ve been putting off due to added pounds or what you fear others will think.

You can do it!!

Tell me how it goes.

Marna

P.S. I have four more openings for my support group starting on Jan. 21 and six more slots available for coaching.

Let me know how I can help:

8 Ways To Reach Your Body Goal

2008-01-08T16:30:00.000-07:00

8 Ways To Reach Your Body Goal

1. Assess where you are at right now. Are you eating for emotional reasons? Are you stress eating? What is your current feeling about your body, your size, or your weight? Do you feel connected to your body, connected to your hunger?

2. Ask yourself these questions: What’s my goal this year? Why do I want to achieve it? When do I want to achieve it by? Will I do what’s required to succeed? Do I need additional support or resources to attain my desired goal?

3. Break down your large goal into smaller, more manageable pieces. This is a NLP technique called chunking.

4. Recruit a friend to go through this process with you. Share your goals, come up with a plan and support one another.

5. Schedule yourself out. Use your calendar to schedule workouts, to schedule time to meditate, to schedule time to take care of yourself and your needs.

6. Get rid of the all-or-nothing attitude. Perfectionism runs wild and achieving your desired body is not about doing things perfectly, but about moving toward your desired state.

7. Write your goals down and look at them at least a few times a week to activate your brain. When you write body goals down, you are ahead of 95% of other men and women wanting to slim down.

8. Each time you listen to your body or life Thin From Within, put some money in a jar. By the end of the month, go splurge on something fun like a massage, a manicure, a fun class, whatever…

Who Needs A Thyroid Anyways???

2007-12-17T10:08:00.000-07:00

Monday was the big day.

I apologize for not being in touch until today. For all of you who have sent loving words and prayers of healing, thank you!

On Monday Morning I went in for surgery. My significant other and parents joined me. My adrenaline was definitely pumping, so I was entertaining them pre-surgery with laughter, jokes and silliness.

I ended up going to high school with the pre-op nurse and so we laughed, shared stories, etc.

When I went in for surgery, the nurses and surgeons heard about thew work I did and were so interested, they said that they wanted my card....who knew I needed to stash business cards under my gown!

As I was talking about my philosophy and the amazing results I see...I was out!

The surgery took five hours and when I came out I was told they took my entire thyroid due to it looking suspicious on both sides. I was also told that they didn't think it was cancer, but a final pathology report would let me know.

I stayed in the hospital for two days and met another nurse, her name was Heather. Heather too loved the work I did and said she wanted to be a nurse involved with what I did.

Monday night I had wonder friends that visited, my parents stayed until the wee
hours and my significant other slept in my hospital bed with me, taking care of my every need.

A few days later I received my staples out and I received great news…no cancer!! YAY!!! No radiation, which is great, I’ll just have to be on thyroid meds forever. The issue is that I had nodules on both sides that were showing follicular cells, and one out of four people with these follicular cells have cancer…so I tried all these procedures beforehand before having to undergo surgery, but all the tests showed up inconclusive.

My scar is rather large and definitely in the healing mode (that's me being positive regarding the way it looks)...if you really want to see it, let me know and I'll take a picture...for now, sweaters are perfect.

Today I'm going to go on a shopping spree and buy some trendy clothes.

Which leads me to what I want to share with you:

I'm sure you have parts of your body that you wish to hide, like my reaction to when I first saw my scar.

Perhaps it's a scar, your thighs, your stomach, etc.

What can you do to make it beautiful? What can you do to make that part of your body look and feel its best?

I'm going to go grab some awesome sweaters. Maybe some cool North Face fleece zip-ups....so at least while I'm healing, I can feel good about myself and not shy away, not avoid holiday parties, and still look fabulous. Maybe some fun new scarves, or some chunky necklaces to show off my neckline as I squeeze into my slimming black winter dresses.

What are you going to do?

Get inspired, find ways to enhance those parts of yourself until they take on a new shape or new look.

Let's all do it together!

Thank you for all your love,

Marna

I'm Ready To Get Personal

2007-11-29T16:22:00.000-07:00

As you know, I struggled with weight from the time I was 12 until I was 18,
gaining over 45 pounds during that time. As you can imagine, my mother was
concerned and took me to my pediatrician to see if I had thyroid issues. The
results were always the same, "Marna is in perfect health."

On Monday, August 13, I went in for my annual gynecological exam and during this
exam, my gynecologist said, "has anyone ever told you that you have an enlarged
thyroid?" I said yes, but that no one had ever really done much about it. My
blood work always came back normal. He said that he didn't want to step on my
regular doctor's toes, but he strongly recommended I have it looked at.

Reluctantly I made an appointment a month later to have my thyroid looked at,
knowing full well that they would once again tell me everything was fine.

He too said it was enlarged, and that he would do an ultrasound but thought it
was probably nothing. After a few minutes lying with my head back in the ultrasound room, he said that he saw several nodules and he took several biopsies.

About a week later and in utter anticipation for the results, I found out that
the results were inconclusive. They couldn't say if the nodules were cancer.

Over the past two and a half months I've undergone 12 biopsies and a scan, all results leading to inconclusive evidence. So today, I'm heading in to discuss plans for surgery.

So why in the world have I waited to tell you this information: over the past
several weeks, I have been on medication that has totally suppressed my thyroid
from functioning. Although I'm tired, I want you to know that my weight has
stayed the same.

Knowing how to live thin and how to think thin has kept me from gaining gobs of
weight and being totally out of control. Even in playing the waiting game and
wanting to pull my hair out much of the time in anticipation has still not
turned into added weight gain.

For those of you whom have dabbled in living thin and using a non-diet
methodology, I want you to know, that I, like you have undergone stress over the
past year and my weight still manages to stay in the same range.

I want you to have the confidence to know, like I do, that life may sometimes
bring you stress, frustration or pain. Yet, you can feel confident that no
matter what life brings your way, your weight will stay the same and your body
will not have to pay the price!

I'm not writing this so that you feel badly for me, beacause I know exactly why I attracted this situation. I write this so that you know that I am a real person, with real issues and have been able to stay thin through this process. I want to inspire you to be the thin and know that this process of living thin is amazing! I am so fortunate to have learned from the thin, and you deserve for thinness to be a part of your daily life.

In love and health,

Marna

P.S. I want to thank the support of my loved ones, my team of physicans who have lovingly guided me through this entire process, and the massive amount of support from all of you. Your love and support means more to me than you know! I am truly blessed to have all of you in my life. Thank you!!!

From Bingeing to Freedom-A Beautiful Story

2007-11-28T10:05:00.000-07:00

"Before I heard about Marna, I really had hit an all time low. I was binging and purging and couldn't stop. If I did stop, it was to go on a diet and once I was off the diet, the bingeing and purging would resume. I had been doing this for two years, but I had been struggling with eating issues my whole life really. I had tried every diet possible and every exercise regimen out there. I even tried acupuncture and Chinese medicine. The novelty of each new "solution" would eventually wear off and I'd be right back to where I started.

In May of 2006, I really thought that the next stop would have to be an eating disorder treatment center. The self-loathing I was experiencing was literally incapacitating. Then I heard about Marna and she gave the tools I needed to change my life. Instead of obsessing about food and my weight, I started to obsess about all the ways that I could enrich my life. I began taking voice lessons, enrolled in Pilates teaching certification course, and playing basketball and trivial with friends on the weekends. I became the person I always wanted to be simply by making it so. Once I started living a fulfilled life, I had so many other things to think about and focus on and food just moved into the background.

It's been six months since I last purged--the longest time in the past two or three years -- and I've lost around 15 pounds that I know will never come back.

This was the first Thanksgiving since I can remember where I simply enjoyed myself and ate the foods I wanted to eat and didn't think twice about it. The guilt that I spent a lifetime building around food has disappeared-there is so much more to life than worrying about food. It's possible to change, but it's YOU that has to do it!

Thanks Marna!

“I Overate, Now What?”

2007-11-16T14:13:00.000-07:00

You just ate a delicious meal with your friend at a favorite dive near your home, and as you get up from the table, you find your belly popping at your pants’ seams. “Oh my goodness” you say to yourself as you find yourself having overeaten and feeling slightly out of control.

What can you do when you overeat?

One of the most tragic things I see people do over and over again is beat themselves up. Getting caught up in negative self-talk is dangerous and may even spiral your results out of control.

If you find yourself sabotaging yourself with words like: “I am such a loser”, “I’ll never get this right”, “I’m just doomed to be fat”, or any other negative statements, then immediately transform your words into statements that are more positive and powerful. There is absolutely nothing good or motivating that comes from beating yourself up and feeling horrible for one measly meal.

I have one word that I use over and over that gets me through my not-so-in-control meals, and that word is NEXT. Whenever I overeat, I just say “NEXT”. I figure I have a bazillion more meals to eat in a comfortable and natural fashion. Move on by just saying “NEXT” and visualize how your next meal will turn out.

Here are some questions that I ask myself if I myself in the situation of overeating.
1. What just occurred?
2. Why did I lose touch of my body?
3. If I were in touch with my body, how would my meal have looked?
4. What do I need?

Taking time to address the above questions will help you begin to see eating patterns. For example, if you see that every time you eat with a particular friend, you find yourself two pounds heavier the following day, you may want to find new ways to connect with that particular friend.

It is more useful to look for patterns in your behavior and make small changes versus feeling awful and spinning out of control.

Remember, living Thin From Within is about loving yourself!

Are You Ready to See Result

2007-10-25T11:02:00.000-07:00

Technorati Profile

Getting results is an interesting thing isn't it?

Some of you are incredible at attracting:
*Money
*Friends
*Business Partners
*Relationships
*Gifts
*Vacations

etc...

I love learning how people get results and how I can continue
attracting and getting the success results I desire.

Most of you have areas where you are incredible with getting
results and areas where you need support.

I'm happy to say that in the area of attracting friends,
business partners, money, a body I desire and relationships,
I've been pretty successful.

I struggle at times with being unfocused and not wanting
to work out. I also love my bed, so getting up in the mornings
can be a real challenge.

I love the way I feel at the end of a workout, but sometimes getting there is like pulling out my hair and teeth...so I have some fun strategies that I use to get my butt in gear and head to the gym....

1. Just go walk in the door. If you want to walk right back out, fine...(I never walk out. I've had five minute workouts however).

2. I listen to my favorite audios like: The Secret, Joe Vitale, Earl Nightengale, Pat O'Bryan, Kathryn Alice, Kim Hiatt, Abraham-Hicks, Rich Dreams, etc... are on the top of my list.

3. I listen to incredible uplifiting must.

4. I grab a trashy magazine about celebrities and only read it while at the gym.

5. When I'm on the machines I tell myself how strong and fabulous I'm looking! It connects me to feeling so fabulous and creates a positive framework with working out.

In just a few weeks, I'm going to be taking people on a very special journey to
uncover their blocks to get wonderful weight loss results.

7 Tips To Ensure You Don’t Fall Off The Weight Wagon This FALL Season

2007-10-17T14:40:00.000-07:00

As the leaves drop, the rain sprinkles, and the trees change color, you may notice that as the temperatures cool, so does your mood. With less sunlight, tans wearing off, and outdoor activities dwindling down, it’s important to continue to think of your body.

Marna Goldstein, expert and author of Naturally Thin Secrets, shares that all too often people begin pouring on the pounds once the weather cools off and jackets and sweaters come on. Goldstein states, “My busy season begins this season as men and women find the scales slowly increasing and their activity decreasing. I begin hearing more frustration and anger with their bodies as fall hits.”

Goldstein recommends these seven sure-fire tips to make sure you don’t fall off the wagon with your weight this FALL season.

1. Find sexy, figure-flattering clothes. It’s easy to begin getting ready for the summer as you think about tank tops and bikinis. Once sweaters and jackets come on, make sure you don’t get in the habit of neglecting your body. Don’t hide behind big sweaters and sweats. Find sexy, figure-flattering clothes that keep you warm and show off your svelte figure at the same time. You feel confident and confidence always leads to keeping your weight down.

2. Get rid of the old and fashion flawed. Dig through magazines and find fashion-forward fall trends. Head to your closets and put together fun and hip outfits. Throw away anything that doesn’t make you feel like a thousand bucks and that makes you feel out of date. Get a long-length mirror and twirl around so you can see all parts of you. Remember, how you feel during the day in your clothes makes all the difference in the world.

3. Make a pact with your feelings. The key to keeping your weight down has almost everything to do with your feelings. If you feel down in the dumps, your body will too. Keep your feelings light and energetic. Write down in the morning how you want to feel during the day about yourself and your body. Make a pact to feel great about your body this season, and do everything you can to feel light and beautiful.

4. Get out in the sun. Yes, of course you should wear sun protection, but make sure you see the sun during the day. With the sun going down earlier, and less sunlight during the day, make sure you get some sun during your lunch or breaks. Light feeds your soul and helps you feel alive and energetic. Get out in some light and watch your spirits soar.

5. Do the sexy walk and walk tall. Get out of your chair during the day and begin strutting your stuff. Sway your hips, cross one ankle over the other as you walk, and walk with confidence. At work, there’s no reason you can’t get up and feel good about your body. When you stand tall and walk sexy, you feel tall and thin. The better you feel about your body now, the less work you’ll have to do to get back in shape during the spring and summer seasons.

6. Get inspired this season. Pick just one additional physical activity you can do that would be above and beyond your normal routine. Whether it’s a walk for a great cause, a 5k run, a hike, or playing Frisbee in the rain, just pick one and stick to it.

7. Strip down. We see ourselves half naked during the summer, whether it’s wearing shorts, sporting little tank tops to show off our neckline and arms, or wearing sun dresses. Make sure you don’t go nine months without seeing your body, only to be frightened when you go to wear next summer’s favorites. Get naked, sleep naked, and make sure you see your body. Wear shorts around the house, go on vacations where you can lie in the sun or buy yourself sexy lingerie so that you don’t hide that beautiful body of yours all season.

What Advice Do You Have For Kids Wanting To Lose Weight?

2007-10-15T19:12:00.000-07:00

Have you ever done something in your life and all of a sudden you find yourself taking a trip down memory lane.

Even if memory lane is painful?

Creating Thin From Within Kids has been just that.

I've had a blast because I know our program works and we're seeing great results, but challenging because it's reminded me of the pain I felt when I was a kid gaining weight.

This Thursday I am getting ready to do a FREE call with my partner Kim, and in preparation for the call, we've been talking about how great it would have been to have personalized coaching like this available to us when we were kids.

Coaching that was gentle and kind. A safe space where we could talk and discuss the pain, the frustration and the realness of our situation. Oh, what a difference that would have made to our self-esteem!

Being heavy as a child was challenging...

When I was 12 years old, I remember trying to cross my legs and remember the feeling of seeing unsightly fat push out. Or the times I hid behind the camera in fear of having my picture taken, or getting dressed in the locker room during gym class hiding my body in hopes that my friends wouldn't see my tiny chest and large thighs.

Being an overweight kid is tough. It's painful. If you are one or were one, you know what I'm talking about.

That's why I'm so excited for Thursday night. We are going to reveal some insights regarding motivation, regarding permanent weight loss, and we are going to dive into many of the questions we hear on a daily basis from our kids and teens.

I want kids and teens to know:

1. In order to change your weight, all you have to do is change your mind.
2. Motivation can be learned, and if you don't have it it's perfectly normal!
3. Diets don't work!
4. You deserve to love yourself right now, so don't wait.
5. Move beyond your limiting beliefs to look and feel fabulous!

What would you want them to know? If you could roll the clock of time back, what advice do you have for the kids, teens and parents we'll be talking to on Thursday night?

Let me know! I'll share some of them on the call.

Want To Know More About How To Rid Belly Fat?

2007-08-27T12:43:00.000-07:00

If you have excess weight around your belly, hips or thighs, do you want to know how to get rid of it for once and for all?

The truth is, it's not possible to spot reduce; in other words, you can't choose where you want the fat to release and fall off your body.

For most people, weight typically comes off from the head down, so be prepared to lose weight in your fingers and your face first. Then it will trickle down to your belly...then hips and thighs.

I carry my weight around my hips and thighs. When I was learning the secrets of the thin and transforming my body, the last part of my body to transform were my hips and legs....but let me tell you, they became MUCH SMALLER!!!

If you are someone with little bitty legs and carry your extra pounds around your middle, there's good news...you won't have to wait as long as I did (and I transformed my body fast!)!

When you live Thin From Within, you'll see your belly fat, hip and thigh fat reduce, but realize it has a pattern.

Wishing you a wonderful and powerful Monday!

Facing the Fat Is Going BIG!

I just had to tell you the good news...

Kim, my partner of ThinFromWithinKids.com,
just told me that Facing the Fat,
the documentary we're both in, has been
picked up by some big company.

YIPPEEEE!!!!

I don't know the industry,
but it looks like this movie is gonna get some
serious attention!

Who would have known this would happen to me?
Business owner from Colorado with just one
major dream: helping people transform their
bodies.

Are you living into your dreams? What's one
thing you can do today to move you closer
to making one dream come true?

Check out the Facing The Fat trailer,
and if you'd like to leave a comment
for us, we'd love to hear from you!

http://www.facingthefat.com to see the trailer.

I would never encourage anyone to go on a 55-day fast,
so that's definitely not what Kim and I are
recommending.

We are in the movie talking about how we have
each shed pounds by listening to
our bodies and have become experts
understanding the inner-workings of the thin mind.

Kim was just interviewed again yesterday
talking about data and research findings (I leave that
to Kim) proving our methodology works.

25 Incredible Weight Loss Tips

I’ve compiled some of the best tips into a list of ideas, below, for those looking to lose weight holistically. There are some great ones here, so pick and choose those that will work best for you and give them a try.

1. Cut out the weight you'd like to be and place it on the scale. That way every time you choose to use a scale, you'll see your ideal weight.

2. Remember to keep your goals in sight to motivate yourself.

3. Spend each morning feeling how fantastic it feels to have the body you have. The incredible machine your body is.

4. To be successful you need to change your life. You need to take control of the negative thoughts and beliefs that are not supporting you to be your best.

5. Get excited. You need to feel excited about knowing you can and will change your body. And by changing your body, you will feel fabulous!

6. You have to believe that you can do it. Dreams turn into reality very quickly when you believe.

7. Don’t try to lose weight. The number one indicator of excessive weight gain in the future is attempting to lose weight in the past. Don’t diet, it won’t last. Instead get up and start feeling fabulous.

8. Start to wear clothes that mak your body look its best. It may be a slighlty larger size, but it's much better to wear a larger size and feel fabulous, than wearing dumpy clothes that make you feel horrible about your body.

9. Don't snack.

10. Deal with emotions in emotional ways.

11. Deal with food in physiological ways.

12. Eat foods your body loves. Pay attention to the impact is having on your body and choose accordingly.

13. Stop watching the scale every day. If you must weigh yourself, do it just once a week — as soon as you wake up, after you use the bathroom.

14. No matter how much you want a change in your life, nothing will happen until you DO something. You can talk about starting an exercise regiment or getting coaching, but nothing will change until you START DOING IT.

15. Schedule new and exciting ways to keep yourself busy during times you know you’re vulnerable to snacking. Switch things up to help break bad habits.

16. Deal with the underlying issues of any self medicating you are doing by eating. Dealing with any underlying feelings will be a lot more effective then anything else.

18. Start by just choosing one thing. Start small. Changing your lifestyle overnight by making just one small change.

19. Tell people around you what you’re doing. This will keep you motivated to continue. Don’t ask for their support, but say “I’m on this new thing where I’m going to kick butt and accomplish my dreams.

20. Celebrate your success! New clothes, pedicures, manicures and thousands other pampering delights make awesome rewards to celebrate your accomplishments.

21. Measure your success. One fabulous way to measure your success is to take your measurements. Sometimes your scale won’t budge but your waistline will.

22. Eat slowly and absolutely savour every bite.

23. Your body may not need all the food that’s on your plate. You could eat the leftovers for lunch the next day and save yourself some money, or you could split it with your loved one. Sometimes I've even given it away to the homeless.

24. Observe your hunger patterns.

25. Eat a varied diet.

MY FIRST MOVIE!

The trip to LA this weekend was amazing! Spending time with Kim Hiatt, my Thin From Within Kids partner was a treat.

Since Kim and I have such a unique approach to weight loss, Kenny was excited to interview us to be in his new movie (Kenny won last year's MTV award for best documentary). Of course, we were ecstatic!

On Sunday, Kenny's crew came to interview us.

Here I am with Kenny, who is creating the documentary, "Facing the Fat".

My First Movie, Facing the Fat

"Facing the Fat" is the latest documentary feature film from Saylors Brothers Entertainment that tackles one of the most sensitive and devastating problems in the world today.... OBESITY!

Here I am with the rest of the crew on Sunday:

My First Movie, With Kenny and the Camera Crew

They were supposed to spend just and hour interviewing us, but we had such a fabulous time together, it lasted over 2 1/2 hours.

Between my nine years of clinical experience and Kim's research experience, we had a blast. I couldn't be happier working with Kim and having Kim's research to prove the effectiveness of Thin From Within has just been incredible.

GET THINNERGIZED! USING THE LAW OF ATTRACTION

Once in awhile I get pretty serious. Please take time to read the article below. Since I care so much about your mental and physical well-being, I wanted to take extra care in crafting this newsletter article for you regarding the law of attraction. Read and enjoy!

The law of attraction is one of the most powerful laws in the universe, and regardless of your religious beliefs, it is working in your life right now, and right now, and right now.

This law states that like attracts like; therefore, many of the issues you presently have in your life, you have likely attracted in some way or another.

I know that this news at first can be a bit frightening but is powerful once fully understood.

Since the law of attraction states like attracts like, it would mean that if you are focused on losing *weight* you are actually punishing yourself and attracting more of the need to lose *weight*.

What most people don't understand is that we attract into our lives a mirror image of our internal feelings, which is why I'm so excited by my new 4-week seminar coming up on July 9th called THINNERGIZED! If you don't feel loving toward you body and expect your body to transform, it's literally impossible for long-term healing to occur.

Just as you must get yourself to realize that you must
first love yourself to attract love into your life, not the other way around, slimming down is just the same. You must first feel thin and loving toward your body to attract a thin body.

Feeling this love can be a powerful tool to re-educate your self to bring about body transformation.

I want to see each and every one of you happy and enjoying your body to its fullest.

You inspire me to do the work I do and I hope you'll join me in a few weeks to get THINNERGIZED!

To your thin self,

Marna

Thin From Within is Growing At Lightning Speeds!

2007-06-26T13:13:00.000-07:00

The last two weeks have been absolutely unbelievable!

My partner, Kim Hiatt and I have been planning the creation of Thin From Within Kids for the past six months, and we finally met in person while in LA attending a conference.

Not only is Kim incredible, she would be one of my best friends! I absolutley love her. Further, she's brilliant and has numerous years studying overweight children and has found the exact same findings that I have, that Diets Don't Work!!

Here is a picture of my new best friend and partner of ThinFromWithinKids.com:

Kim's the cuter one!

While in LA, Kim and I were asked to part of a documentary called, Facing The Fat. Kenny won the MTV award for his last documentary!

So now I'm heading back out to LA to play with my new best friend Kim, and we're now going to be movie stars....(hardly, but it's worth a dream!)

Kenny is so excited (the documentary film maker) to have a new and fresh perspective, and we can't wait to meet him.

The trailer just went up and you can check it out on: http//:www.facingthefat.com

Let me know what you think. I would love to hear your feedback so I can let Kenny know your thoughts while I'm out in LA.

Warmly,

Sheri Rowland said, "Finally a new and refreshing way to approach being thin again.

GROUP COACHING STARTS IN ONE WEEK

2007-04-02T21:42:00.000-07:00

The dust has FINALLY settled.

As you are probably aware, I opened my Group Coaching program
two weeks ago to begin next week.

Then almost immediately due to the overwhelming demand
- almost all the coaching spots were gobbled up in record time.

I have to tell you, it was really gratifying - after all the hard work getting
this together, I'm extremely excited to get started with all my new clients.
I just know this season will be a breakthrough season for many of them.

If you MISSED OUT on the opportunity to join my program,
and you desperately want to get in, I've got some URGENT news for you.

My accounting department has sorted through the mountain of orders and
figured out EXACTLY who's in and who's out.

During the FLURRY of orders, not all credit cards were accepted.
Some credit cards were declined, while others had a wrong digit or two. And there were some duplicate orders.

The bottom line is that a few potential clients dropped out in the process.

And their misfortune becomes your big chance!

Why?

Because I'm going to open up this Coaching Program for a few hours to fill up the seats that we had to decline due to bad credit cards or other payment issues.

So if you'd like one last chance to join my highly coveted coaching program, you'll be able to do so by Thursday at NOON Eastern Time.

REMEMBER: we will open the doors until NOON Eastern Time on Thursday.
But if I fill up, I'll have to pull it down earlier.

We're getting close, as the coaching sessions start next week.

This is a first come, first serve process.

Looking For 10!!!

2007-03-19T13:15:00.000-07:00

I'm looking for 10 men and women
who are looking to take action to
get killer results by the summer.

I will be conducting a 3-month
intensive coaching group, starting
the beginning of April for 10 lucky
few on either Monday or Tuesday evening,
or Tuesday afternoon at 1:00 ET.

This will be a working group
with support, interaction, and
results!

The cost for each month is only
$100.

If interested, please email me at
marna @ thinwithin . com
and let me know why you would
like to be one of 10 to
receive this first-ever
coaching experience.

I will be making a final decision
in the week or so.

To your success!

Marna
