    I have started a treadmill workout where I use the timing of my steps to keep my focus on a mantra I say over and over in my head. Sometimes it's... I am on the road to thin, I am, I am... and I won't quit until I win.. I am I am I am I am. Over and over... Somethines it's Christina Agulara's "You are beautiful, in everything you do... words can't put you down" ... it can be anything but the thing I find most interesting is... I sometimes close my eyes to repeat these and I hold on to the handles which will read your heart rate and when I open my eyes... the reading is 180, sometimes 190, I have even had it reach 220 and more. As soon as I am focused on the numbers they decline rapidly. I don't understand this and I even asked my husband to look and we are both puzzled by this. Does this have anything to do with the energy that I am emitting when meditating like this, I have this happen every time I get on my treadmill now and start my mantra and not look at the digital readout of my pulse rate. Also, I so enjoy the walk now I walk for 1 hr twice a day, because... I am on the road to thin I am, I am.

    Comment: This is the first time I understand this logics, I believe it is true, I am just getting into "The Secret" and I actually feels different inside. I guess what you explain is the reason for my weight but I am ready to change my thoughts about me and watch me change to the person I always want to be. thanks

    I agree with you !!! What you maifest in your mind is what you get! So I think to myself i have got to lose some weight, then i think to myself Its not what i am eating because i don't eat that much ! I don't exercise my brain enough to have enough energy to do it so every time i eat and get no physical activity my first though ti soh my gosh i am going to gain some weight, i think you are making perfect sense and although mine is a little ran together i think you'll get what i am saying!

    I'm not sure if you got my post or not so I'll try and repeat it. If I'm to understand you a person with a disease such as compulsive overeating or Alcoholism just has to think they don't have these 2 or either of these diseases and they don't have them????? They don't have to work a 12 step program any more they can just go out and be like every on else that doesn't have either of these 2 diseases the Acholic can drink like anyone else and the compulsively addicted food addict can have one pcs. of cake????? Is that what you are saying?????????????????????? LInda

    is that really enough to think good thoughts and that will make things happen? how does gods will , or karma or even events that muster feelings in us fit in anywhere here ?

      OK my question is this. If someone is a compulsive overeater JUST like an Alcohollic according to everything that I've learned, they are predisposed to these diseases. If an Alcoholiic says I can have just one drink and starts they are finished just the same as a food addict. So if I'm to understand you all you have to do is believe that I DON'T have these diseases and then I won't???????????
