Customer Reviews

A Fake Bully!

Marian markets herself as compassionate and caring but I know firsthand this is not the case. She publicly criticized my voice and when I privately contacted her about her poor behavior with the hope she would remove the bullying, she threatened to bully me further. She is not a decent human being and is clearly unfit to be a therapist.

Finally, a lifestyle change that works!

Wow, what a terrific and insightful method of conquering compulsive overeating! After getting her book and companion workbook, I called Marian and now work with her directly to further achieve success. It works!

It's More Than About Your Weight

This book goes so much more beyond just weight loss. It deals with the issues of what causes you to turn to food, or as in my case, what makes you have a dysfunctional relationship with food and with yourself. As a recovered anorexic, this book has helped me deal with so many of the issues in my life that I was never really ready to deal with. It has helped me learn to set boundaries with people, therefore enabling me to have healthier realationships with those in my life that I love. Most of all though, reading Marian's words has helped me to reach a level in my life where I am taking better care of myself than ever before. With this book and the self-exploration that it will teach you, will be able to change the things in your life that you want to change through your own thoughts and actions. Best of all for me now, I am able to "deal" with those things in my life that I never thought I could before, instead of turning to food, diet and weight pre-occupation. I feel like I have my life back! Thank you Marian!!

Reconnecting to who we were meant to be . . .

Reading Marian's words causes thoughts to flow with new clarity. She has helped me to reconnect to who I was meant to be physically, spiritually and emotionally. I always look forward to writing about the thoughts she inspires. Getting to know myself has been a wonderful adventure. With her deep experience in coaching people through "The Shape of You", Marian has devoped the intuition and experience to help people, really help themselves. "Journey to the Shape of You" is about awareness and living. It is gentle, honest, and straight forward. The best part about working through this journey isn't even the fact that I don't have a weight problem that I struggle with anymore. It is being peaceful and being able to raise my children with awareness, with personal boundaries, with a strong and real sense of self so that they live in the light of awareness and won't fall into the same diet trap I did. I would (and often do) recommend "Journey to the Shape of You" to anyone that has struggled with their weight and wants weight to no longer be an issue in their lives.

Sensitive, easy to read

This book is excellent! I have lost over 20 lbs on this program without dieting. I loved the journal exercises and discovered a lot about why I was turning to food in the first place. Marian has a 'genius' when it comes to addressing the needs of the compulsive eater. I highly recommend this book to anyone struggling with their weight.
