TESTIMONIALS

 

"One of the most insightful books ever written on how to be thin -- naturally. It's more about loving your body and listening to it than beating it with discipline. I love this one!" - Dr. Joe Vitale, author "The Attractor Factor" www.mrfire.com

 

"I am a 45 year old grandfather that struggled with my body image most of my life. I would lose weight only to gain it back again over a period of time. Diets and other fads may work at first but they are about what you can’t eat or must eat or the exercise you must do. It’s like being force fed what worked temporarily for someone else. The only way I found to change myself was to change my mind. I created a picture in my head of what I thought my healthy, fit and trim body looked like and I began to see that picture in the mirror. I dropped two inches from my waist in the first month and all my clothes began to fit me better. I don’t even know how much I weigh because it doesn’t matter. All that matters is the image I have in my head. I eat what I want, when I want and exercise when I feel like it. Quite frankly, I love myself and the freedom I have with my thoughts. I listen to my body and it tells me if I am in the mood for a big meal or just a salad but I never worry about what I eat or how much because my body tells me what I need. Thin within is the only way to make it stick. To change your life you must change your mind." -Evan Crumpton, Seeds for Success, Odessa, Texas, evan@seedsforsuccess.com

 

"Finally a new and refreshing way to approach being thin again.  I have gotten so tired of all the ways I was looking at what I was doing wrong till I was blue in the face. Since working with the Law of Attraction, the old way of dieting just did not feel right nor was it along the same lines as I was now practicing in other areas of my life.  After meeting Marna at Joe Vitale's workshop, I knew that she was definitely on to something great and I wanted to be a part of it.  I just completed her teleclass series and within the first week I had lost a couple of pounds without even trying.  I loved the teleclasses and the meditations and I especially loved the audios to listen to again at my convenience.  Even if I never lost another pound, the teleclasses were well worth it.  My whole out look on my weight issues have shifted to more positive ways to acting, thinking, eating and my whole attitude has changed around it. Thanks SO much Marna.  It was great and I can't wait to see what you have next on your agenda." -Sheri Rowland, www.sherirowland.com and www.havingthetimeofmylifenow.com

 

"Marna's ideas are the most helpful (as well as logical and simple) information and support I've ever had - I've been trying to diet/lose weight since I was 10! I feel like my whole life all I've done is think about and struggle with food... I'm not even really that overweight, I just don't want to be thinking about food and dieting - and this program is finally the thing that's helping me do it! It doesn't make sense to me to diet anymore - there's no sense in fixating on what you eat (it only makes you think about it more!) - I'm learning to pay attention to how and why I eat, and to eat to be healthy!" -Audrey B.

 

"Thank you so much for all the help and support you have been throughout the last 30 days.  It's been an incredible journey for me...one which I will continue to follow.   To date, on this the 30th day, I have lost 22lbs and two dress sizes!  I would not have believed it had I not seen it myself.   I can honestly say I am one of those people who cant remember what hunger was up until I learned it from you.  It never dawned on me for a second that you should only eat when you're hungry!  I think society today as whole probably eats more than they really require, one just needs to watch the super-sized me movie and of course just about everyone is conditioned by eating at set times rather than when they are actually hungry.   I came across your web site completely by accident while looking for something else, and I listened to an audio clip you had done.  I suspected that you might be on to something because it didn't involve deprivation or a diet and thought I would sign up and see what would happen.  Boy, am I glad I did." -Linda Stuart, Queensland, Australia, http://www.scotchoz.com

You are both AMAZING!   I tell everyone I know about your program and I know that it will definitely help millions of other people too!   I hope everything is good and I will let you know when I loss more weight!!!     With tons of love and gratitude" -Bridget

 

"I was putting something in a drawer in the refrigerator and I found peanut butter wafers from last month. I had totally forgotten about them and had no desire to eat them. Thanks for Thin From Within." -Linsey, MD,  Fort Lauderdale, FL

 

  

"I had a revelation in working with Marna. For some reason, I had been carrying around the belief that I was a big person, and because I was big I needed to eat more. During my coaching I identified that when I travel with friends, my friends often want to eat more often than I do. In taking the time to think about my relationship to food, it occurred to me that maybe my body just didn’t need very much food. I know everyone’s body is different, but it had never occurred to me that mine might be one of the ones that didn’t require much! What a change! I had put myself in a “big girl” box without even knowing it, and had been ignoring my body for so long that it was truly a transformation for me to realize that my body gave me clues to how much I needed to eat. That insight alone was worth the “price of admission!” -Darla

 

As a fellow expert on non-diet weight loss I wasn’t sure of how much value Marna’s program could be when I initially decided to take one of her classes. I am glad I did anyway!!! Let me tell you how impressed I am with Marna’s vast knowledge of the subject matter, her seemingly infinite solutions and tools to address challenges her weight loss clients face on their way to transforming into their naturally thin selves.   In addition I got to know Marna as a wonderful, uplifting spirit that deeply cares for her clients. Thanks for being you, Marna! J   Sunny van Vlijmen EFT-Practice LLC www.EFT-Practice.com     Much love,   Sunny

  

"My reflection showed me Thin! I had to go and try on a pair of smaller pants to shake the disbelief from my eyes as I couldn't believe that the molecules of my body could transform that fast! Overnight! I ate only when I was hungry, which incidentally meant eating 1/2 a chocolate bar for lunch,  and I felt great! I noticed people reacting differently to me, as well as  I act differently." -Trisha, Winnipeg, Canada and a mother of two

 

"Hi!  I think I've done it - I've overcome my food obsession and I'm living and eating like a thin person.  Oh, and I AM a thin person!  :-)  It's amazing that I've actually lost weight eating only the things I want.  And I haven't even found the time to exercise yet.  Having a 9 month old will do that to you, I guess.  ;-)  I just wanted to let you know I'm feeling great and I wanted to thank you for doing what you're doing.  Now I look at people and wonder why they're dieting.  It seems so silly to me.  Did I mention that I can fit into every pair of jeans in my closet?  Even the ones I hung on to because I thought that maybe someday they'd fit again!  They do!" -Buffy, New mom from Mechanicsburg, PA

 

"Thanks Marna! That helped! I started a dream list and even picked up some books at the book store about finding the right career...one of them is a workbook type thing with exercises to help figure out your "dream job".  Also, this waiting till hungry is AMAZIING!!!  The way you explained it really made sense and I notice when I wait to be really, without a doubt hungry, I pick the food I want more accurately, enjoy my food more and more slowly, and can stop eating at a comfortable point because I notice when the hunger is gone.  And I'm not eating as many sweets (and when I do not in an out of control way) aaaaaaaaand I'm finding better ways to fill my downtime/take care of myself!  This is so coool! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!" -Sarah

 

"When we began this program 3 weeks ago, I weighed almost 150. I'm now down to about 142 or so and feel wonderful. I have been able to fit into some of my old clothes again, and best of all, I have released the worry about gaining weight, the stress of feeling out of control, and the misery of hating my body. Thank you so much!!!!!" -Leslie, Teacher from San Diego, CA

 

"I am so amazed at the little things I do from your calls that make such a difference. This week I began saying to myself probably daily, "I have beautifully shaped legs" or "my legs are shaped beautifully". I have never said this about my legs, even when I was borderline anorexic! I have always thought they were too big in one place or another. It is so freeing to make this self talk change in my mind, in order to accept and love my legs now. I also was on vacation, and found myself ordering exactly what I wanted. It took a bit more time, and I often asked the waitress for the dessert menu so I'd know if I was going to need to save room for that too. I created many concoctions often out of appetizers and side dishes. I even asked the waitress to wait 3 minutes before bringing out the dessert (since I wasn't quite ready for it, and knew it would melt if it came). It felt empowering. It felt comforting to see that I can take care of myself." "THANK YOU" -Noelle, Special Education Teacher's Aide from Vienna, VA

 

"Although, weight is not the focus of this workshop, I have lost 20lbs mainly because I have not focused on weight loss which has been a big problem for me for several years.  I have half heartedly participated in several weight loss programs which revolved around prepackaged meals or deprivation of carbohydrates. I realize that I have felt guilty for not being able to follow rigid programs which further contributed to my hopelessness. I have been able to lose weight and feel confident that I can control my own destiny and I don't need anyone else to do it for me.  It is only a start but a very important one. In all, I have found the workshop and especially the phone sessions invaluable to help me see that my self worth is not equated by my current weight." -Kim

 

"During the last few days of school, several students took pictures of the class. Not only did I willingly pose for the pictures, I was able to look at myself without the usual shame and guilt. I had a feeling of "Oh, look, there I am. I'm smiling. I'm happy." -Toni, IT Executive from New Jersey

 

"Thanks to the Love your Body group, I have really changed my attitude towards my body. I have learned my body is worth loving just as it is. I have stopped looking forward to a time when I am thin and started living now. I have replaced negative thoughts with positive ones.  I am happier in my present body than ever before. AND all this in the first two weeks! I can't wait to see what I will discover in the remaining time with the group!" -Sharon

 

"Thank you so much for all you taught me Marna........you were a Godsend!!!!!!!!"  -Jacquie

 

"It's been great to have access to a 24/7 support network.  Just knowing there are people like me who have food and/or body image issues that I can send an email to has been wonderful, and a great antidote to a problem that is characterized by secrecy, isolation and shame." -Andrea

 

"I have never been so intensely driven to analyze my psychological reasons for being overweight. With diets it was always eat everything you don't like and exercise vigorously 3 to 4 times per week and you'll lose weight. Ya, great!  I'd lose 15 to 20 lbs and then gain 25 back as soon as I stopped torturing myself. Now I exercise moderately and eat what I want when I'm hungry.  There is no doubt that is my formula to success. I just have to learn to control the bingeing, the snacking." -Ken, Business Owner

 

"I am lucky enough to be working with Marna on her Intensive 8-week program for "Thin From Within"!  I highly recommend this program to anyone who is "stuck", you will really benefit from the daily emails and the one-on-one appointments.  I am someone who really requires a lot of pushing to move through difficult spots and this Intensive program really has helped me." -Kimberly

 

"I am really starting to feel that food is slowly losing it's power over me -what a wonderful feeling.  I can't thank you enough for all your support." -Andrea

 

"Not only did the program help me release almost 60 pounds, but it improved my self esteem like I cannot begin to explain." -Natalie

 

"For the first time in my life, I am beginning to break the "diet" habit. The only thing that dieting has ever done for me is to turn me into a compulsive eater who has an obsession with weight and body image. I have been learning through this method with Marna that loving myself just as I am, overweight and out of shape, is the ONLY way out of this vicious circle of dieting and body hatred. This new and fresh approach has given me the tools to use whenever I start beating myself up. Thank you, Marna, for opening up my eyes to see that I no longer have to live my life as a slave to outer appearances and worrying what others will think."  -Laurie, from Denver Colorado

 

"Marna helped me realize that any weight loss has to start with and in the the mind and then the body will follow. Only when the mind and the body are joined, can the real healing begin." -Sheila

 

"I am especially enjoying the benefit of eating "only what I like". For years I did not allow myself to eat oatmeal for breakfast because I thought it was too fattening. I have it every morning now with nuts and raisins, and I have lost five pounds in the past month! I was able to go out to eat tonight without worry about where I went or what I would eat. This is really so freeing!" -Karen, Business Executive from Denver Colorado

 

"For about 2 months I've been practicing thinking thin. I eat like a thin person with one exception, when my seizure meds kick in I  get the "munchies", even then I'm able to control what I eat.  I now think before I eat and examine my feelings; Am I hungry, thirsty, or in need of emotional help? Then I am able to stay on track.  About a week ago I wrote to you in emotional pain, I started journaling that day and the pain is under control now. I no longer eat because of emotions.   Oh, and at my grand daughters birthday two days ago I received three verbal compliments on my weight. I love hearing "You've really lost some weight!" and knowing all I had to do is think thin. I don't even have a dependable scale, and don't need one. Although my goal is to lose down to 145-150 pounds, I have another goal of a 32 inch waist.  I'm at 35 -37 inches now.   Thank you Marna,   Tonya
