What would it feel like to be liberated from the fat? What would you do if you were totally at the right weight – just the perfect way according to you, your medical doctor, and God?

One central part of your life that wouldn’t be less is that feeling of God’s helping hand in your life. As your weight problems gets lighter, your relationship with God will only get stronger and more powerful – loving you and guiding you through every aspect of your life.

Write about the point of possibility, and your goal in losing weight and keeping it off this time, once and for all. Would your clothes fit better, and look better? How would your body feel – to be lighter and more agile? What would be different about your thoughts and emotions? Would you have a better self-image, and higher self-esteem?
