Body Image Mastery - Scam?

Monday, March 30th, 2009

Over the last few years, we have been drowning in books, movies and talk about the Law Of Attraction. People all over the world are using it to try and get want they want for themselves. It may be anything; a new car, money (lots!), the love of their lives - anything.

But weight loss? I asked myself the first time I heard of the Body Image Mastery program. How can the Law of Attraction help me lose weight? Or lose anything for that matter? The Law of *attraction* - hello…? It’s not the Law of Losing we are talking about here.

Now, this Attraction yadayada has gone too far. That was my reaction when I learned about Laura Fenamore’s new program. Please - not another fad diet fat loss scam that does nothing, except feeding the weight loss industry! I turned my back on it.

How little did I know. Well, I was right about one thing. You should not use LoA with the wish for “losing” weight. You are supposed to act upon what you want. Period. Not on what you do not want. And the Body Image Mastery method isn’t really a LoA-thing, as I see it. It touches the subject alright, but the focus is pointed at self-esteem and loving your body as it is.

So - what do I want? I want to be slender. I want to have energy enough to walk in the forest with my Golden retriever for two hours - without having to be picked up by the Rescue Helicopter. I want to be able to see myself on a picture and think: I look great!

Laura’s Body Image Mastery teaches me exactly that. I am growing as a person, I am gradually transforming to a woman filled with joy, a constantly growing self confidence and a happy owner of a huge mirror.

Oprah Winfrey and Body Image Mastery

Monday, March 30th, 2009

The Body Image Mastery program - Loving What You See In the mirror - has helped thousands of people to lose weight, and improve their self esteem.

Oprah Winfrey has struggled hard over the years with her own body. And she talks about it openly. Earlier this year 2009 she talks about her gaining 40 pounds - in front of the cameras and with million of viewers watching.

She admitted that she is embarrassed that she once again has hit 200 pounds. But if you ask me I don’t think there is any need for her to feel embarrassed. It is very common that people who lose weight, like Oprah Winfrey, puts them back on again.

Weight loss starts with how you look upon yourself. It must do. If you don’t love yourself 100% you will have a lot tougher time trying to lose weight. If you can look at yourself in the miror and say that you truly love your body - then your journey to a better body, a better self-esteem really has started from the right point. From your inside.

The Body Image Mastery program is written by Laura Fenamore - a well renowned personal coach, Body Image Mastery Mentor, speaker, and teacher to thousands of people, men and women, worldwide.It teaches us that to lose weight permanently, you must start from the inside. Losing weight doesn’t automatically make you love yourself.

Doing so, you try to work from the outside and in. Laura’s program works the other way around. Learn to love the image you look at in the mirror and you will bring changes into your life

Oprah Winfrey has launched her own new intentions, beginning with her New Year TV series and articles highlighting her commitment to self-love and self-care as an answer to her weight struggle. In her show, she is praising the Body Image Mastery Program. For the first time, she says, it’s not all about diets - it’s all about love.

Loving What You See In The Mirror?

Body Image Mastery - Loving What You See In The Mirror

They told me I had to start loving myself. And that I must realize that my body is perfect. I had to make myself love the the image that was looking at me from my mirror in the bathroom. No matter how I look, no matter how much I make my weighing scale scream, I was to say to myself: You look fantastic!

And all I wanted to say was: Are you out of your mind? Get out of here! I have a new diet to try, so don’t waste my time with your fiddle-faddle…

And so I was on my way back to my old habits. One weight loss program after another, an endless stream of diet pills that never worked. Videos en masse, and later DVD’s, sweating and working away a few pounds with an enormous effort, only to gain them back again - effortlessly.

Give me a dime for every pill and workout program I tried, and I could buy Miami Beach!

I reached the roadfork eventually. I was on the brink of giving up on myself. Every single pound I ever managed to lose, just came jumping back on me again. It just would not work. I was never going to be able to get my body look the way I wanted it to look.

And still, regardless of all the evidence that these “cures for obesity” never was going to work, I asked them why they think their method was going to help me, when nothing else did?

“It all starts with your attitude! Anything will work for you if you learn to love your body! You have to change the image of You!”

I was so full of resist and disbelief. What?  Body Image Mastery? Thinking myself thin - Is that what you’re saying?

“You need to take action, of course. But it doesn’t have to be so hard. And - is starts with the way you look upon yourself.

Finally they got through my barriers of resistance. I started to listen to what they had to say: “Attitude! Change the way you look at your body. That is the first step. Your body is perfect”

So it became sort of like my mantra. “I am a miracle. I am beautiful. There is absolutely no flaw whatsoever in the image of Me. My body is my home and I am so very very happy to live in it.”

Fact is, I liked this new mantra a lot more. My old “mantra” while lookin’ at the Monster In The Mirror used to be ” yak, you fat, ugly, lazy hag”

In spite of my earlier beliefs, there are happy endings. You can actually change your life forever. I could do it. And if I could, you must be darn right deaf, blind and dumb if you can’t too. The method, Body image mastery, really helped me see that loving what you see in the mirror, can make the magic happen.
