The true secret to becoming and staying thin!

This is a wonderful, wonderful book!! I can't recommend it highly enough! Several years ago I lost thirty pounds using a method I devised myself which included counting calories and also making a treasure map of my goal weight and self-image (a treasure map is a kind of a scrap book you create yourself with positive pictures, phrases, etc. that support the goal you are trying to achieve). At the time I gave all the credit for my weight loss to counting calories, and NOT to the treasure map (which I discontinued) and over the years I have gained back all 30 pounds, even though I have tried every diet imaginable! I recently discovered "Think Yourself Thin" and upon reading it I realized that my prior weight loss was NOT due to counting calories, it had everything to do with the treasure map I made -- so I immediately started following Debbie's suggestions (along with restarting a NEW treasure map!) and the very next morning when I looked in the mirror, I looked thinner! I've been following her book & working on my journal/treasure map and already my clothes are much looser and I'm fitting into smaller sizes! I'm looking forward to being thin again, now that I know the TRUE secret to becoming and staying thin!! Not only is it easy, it's fun (well, it's not always easy to counter-act the negative thoughts -- but Debbie guides you through handling that, too!) Anyone wanting to lose weight once and for all should give this book a try!!

More than just a weight loss book

This is the best book on weight loss that I have ever read, and believe me I've read literally dozens. I'm the master of the quick fix, and have tried most diets out there. This book isn't just for weight loss, it's about an all over attitude change relating to WHY the weight is there and HOW to change your mental focus towards positive thinking to get rid of the weight and keep it off. For all of you out there who, like me, have berated yourselves about your weight or have ever labeled yourself negatively because of it, this book is for you. It's helped me raise my self-esteem in a way I haven't been able to do in 20 years.Debbie Johnson takes you through a step by step process including affirmations, journalling with specific questions and instructions, visualization and more. She doesn't just talk around the issue, she gives concrete steps to take. No matter how much weight you'll lose, this book will also help you to accept yourself and change negative thinking into positive thinking. And you ARE what you THINK! So think THIN!At the end of this book, she states that this process can be used for anything - love, money, career, relationships, even other types of addictions. I believe it wholeheartedly. This is the best money you'll ever spend on a self-help book.

A must-have for all interested in changing their lives!

I have to admit that I was skeptical when I first picked up Debbie Johnson's book a month or so ago, but can now testify that her techniques do indeed work! The visualization exercises can be used to apply to any and all areas of one's life, and I feel that they are already helping me reach my fitness peak faster. I have reread this book *five* times thus far. . .the motivational value is outstanding. As a result, I have bettered myself not only physically, but mentally and spiritually, as well. If there's any room in your life for inspiration (and I guarantee you there is), there's room in your library for THINK YOURSELF THIN!

The Last Weight-Loss Book You Will Ever Buy

Anybody who understands how the mind works will find the principles outlined in this book to be sound. Johnson doesn't just explain how to lose the weight, but WHY it is there in the first place. Her technique is one of healing the mind-body relationship and making life changes from the source: which is YOU. I've already changed my body considerably through the use of hypnosis, so I already knew it would work. However, hypnosis doesn't address the entire situation and I stopped making progress until I discovered this book. I didn't believe it until I tried and proved to myself how much control I have over my appearance. This is a very liberating experience and I honestly can't recommend this book enough.

Excellent guideline for feeling positive and carefree.

This program helps you internalize your desires. Anyone who has ever taken a sales course or seminar will truly relate to this book. It makes so much sense. However, don't be fooled that it will be easy. The concept is easy, but getting rid of your negative thoughts has its challenges. I have been doing her mental exercises for 4 months and have lost a dress size without any 'dieting'. In fact, this is the first time I have stopped dieting in 3 years and have had a significant weight loss. [One of the exercises is throwing out your scales, so I have no idea how many pounds I have lost.] I feel this program is exactly what I needed. Of course, permanent weight control is not accomplished in a few minutes, but positive changes will begin immediately in your mind and does soon follow with shaping your physical reality. It has been the answer for me on how to win the mental game of weight control.
