I LOVE EVERYTHING EVERYONE IS POSTING ON THIS THREAD!!!
it is SO uplifting!!!
And like Wendy, I am falling in love with my body again!!! it's a WONDERFUL body! I keep looking in the mirror or looking down at it and thinking loving appreciative thoughts!
I could CRY I'm so happy about this!
My body affectionately says, "It's about time!!!"
I'm so pleased. I DID choose to be me!
Here's one other thing that has been working for me: if after I eat, if I went unconscious at some point during the meal, I just say something similar to what Phil wrote, like
"My body knows just how to handle the food I ate. It's all going fine. My cells know how to process it so that they come into alignment with my vision for my body and my health. It's all good!"
And it is!!!!!!! My thermostat is coming back into alignment! My driver's license is prophetic! My life is wonderful!!!!
Thank you all!!! Thank you body! Thank you Abe! Thank you Leslie! Thank you fruit salad! Thank you yogurt! Thank you baguette! Thank you butter! Thank you work out clothes! Thank you sneakers! Thank you Central Park! Thank you Sunshine! Thank you Internet! Thank you, Apple Computer! Thank you Abe Forum! Thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you!!!!
ps Did I mention that I jogged 12 miles today!!? And I feel great!!!! I did the exercises from a very Abe-ish running class that uses Chi energy and works with gravity and ALIGNMENT for long distance, easy, healthful running!
I feel so wonderful.
Finally, here are some Abe quotes from the new book that are totally getting me jazzed:
From Money and the Law of Attraction p 100-101
I Can Feel Good in My Body
If you are not feeling good or looking the way you want to look, it has a way of reflecting out into all other aspects of your life experience, and it is for that reason that we want to emphasize the value in bringing your physical body into balance and comfort and well-being. There is nothing in the Universe that responds faster to your thoughts than your own physical body, and so aligned thoughts bring a quick response and obvious results.
This reminds me: whenever I see older people who are really in good shape, I ask them why and how they do it. I've gotten some awesome responses. This one woman in her late 50's said that "she's always seen results quickly" when she exercises.
I thought that was a great affirmation, along with "I'm naturally slim!"
and lately, another thought occurred to me, which is that, like Steph, as a teenager, I had a smokin' hot body while eating whatever I wanted, and not thinking about exercise in the least! So, that can be my reality again! Doesn't that sound lovely?!! Although I love exercise now, but it's important for me to just enjoy moving my body, not doing it for weight control.
So why am I training for a marathon? good question!
I like having a fitness goal,
I like training with others,
I like being "in training,"
I think it will be fun to run the race,
it's good training for my mind, to make sure that I'm in the moment, enjoying each moment as I run,
it's a running tour of the 5 boroughs of my beloved hometown,
my friend is making a documentary,
it gets me out of the house!
I enjoy saying I'm in training
I know I'll enjoy telling people I've done it
(oops! giving a rip!)
(I am where I am!)
I like running clothes
It's fun getting attention on the street while I run through Harlem and the Bronx (more rip-giving? well, enjoying sincere appreciation!)
Central Park is gorgeous
What an accomplishment it will be!
If Al Gore, Oprah, Cindy Crawford and Mrs. Tom Cruise can do it, Katie Holmes, just remembered her name! then I can, too!!!!

LONG POST!!! I HAD A LOT TO SAY!!!!!!

You ROCK Lovely Lesley! I love how you realize you are giving a rip and that's cool anyway.
I give a rip oftentimes too. And hey -- that's ok!

 Wow again - I am so glad to be here with you all - loving my body and the food I take in more and more every moment - feeling my body more and more every day as an Electrical Being - a Vibrational Being - as I sit and feel my body I truly can feel the billions of cells - pulsating and vibrating - and I love the feelings of aliveness simply doing that gives to me - I now look forward to eating - mre and more - and the joy and pleasure I feel as the food is being seen - smelt - felt - tasted and totally enjoyed - love the beautiful colours and textures and aromas of all the foods I am enjoying - if I am feeling this much plesure and joy - this much of a turnaround after just a few days of Rampaging and Appreciating - imagine the possibilities - I notice that as I am Rampaging before during and after eating - this is naturally carrying on to my feelings for my physical body - I am loving my body so much more - and I am finding the foods I want to eat are those that make me feel light and alive - effervescent - and I am finding that while ever I am conscious and apreciating while I eat and drink - it is impossible to have more than I need - I want to be light - light enough to fly and run so fast that I feel like I am flying - so light that when I dance my feet barely touch the ground - and I feel this happening NOW _ YES!!!!!!!!

As some of you know, I tried another concept with this body game.
I started pretending my body is not me but my guy. My Hot Date as Pat B calls him 
The point is that I`d never want my guy to be anything but tall, slim, sexy and healthy. So of course I`d never let him over-eat or have or do unhealthy stuff. Translates: I am not over-eating or neglecting my workout.
So I didn`t do rampages for my body or for the food but had a nice time with my guy instead, and it rocked!
The first week is almost over now, and what can I say - it was awesome and I feel so much better now. Not just that my belly is in better shape now, it is also FUN FUN FUN to have "someone else" at your side while eating and working out. And not just SOMEONE else but my Hottie!
This way I didn`t only manage to get in better shape but also to focus on my dream guy in a loving and appreciative way ALL THE TIME.
Two birds with one stone!
 Do I rock or what! 
xx Catherine

Strange manifestation to say the least...
For a number of years now I've had a few swellings on my body, in places that can be covered, so nobody sees them but they have been uncomfortable anyway. They just appeared out of the blue some day and they've been there for years now...
Fast forward to yesterday, (day two of my food allignment process). I suddenly noticed that a swelling that used to hurt from time to time (kind of like the skin was too narrow and it wanted to grow bigger ) was again hurting and when I touched it to rub it a little for the pain to ease, I could hardly find it. Just overnight it has shrunk so much that now it's probably hurting because it's disappearing (whatever that may mean).
Today (day 3) it's still that little. O.K., so on my first day I visualized while drinking water that I was taking in this liquid love and it went into every cell of my body and litterally made my body glow and sparkle. I could almost physically see the sparkles coming out of my body, but I wonder if this swelling becoming so much tinier now is a direct result of that...
Anyone else got any physical changes to report ?

I'm reading the power of emotions book right now and there's a chapter there about losing weight. It got me thinking when I started gaining weight, and I must say it all started when I started thinking that sweets were bad for me.
Before I never had any weight problems, and indeed that was when I never gave it second thought what food I was eating would make me fat(ter).
I also realized that these days I'm walking around hungry for a big part of the day and when I'm hungry I get cranky, and I start craving for food, and then I grab some cookie or anything else that's "forbidden"
So now I made up my mind that I'm going to eat whenever I feel a tiny bit hungry, line up with the food first before putting it into my mouth, being very aware of the sensations and the tastes in my mouth while eating it, and not giving anything else a second thought anymore...

REading this I too realized when I started gaining weight. It was when my Mother told me I had to lose it.
I gained weight during puberty. Many girls do this. When it happened to me my Mother started "on me" about what I was eating. Food guilt was born!!!!
Knowing what I know now food probably had little to do with my weight at the time. It was hormones. My daughter experienced the same thing. I didn't influence her food choices and she grew out of it. She became a lovely slim young lady.
On the other hand I've been plagued with FOOD GUILT all my life.
It's time to let it go.
I'M TURNING MY THERMOSTAT DOWN!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you guys for once again helping me bring myself into alignment.

HI ALL!
How is everyone doing? I would love to hear how things are working for you. It's going so well for me, I'm really enjoying this.
KatherineCHE gave me a wonderful tool, and I just made it for myself this morning:
I recorded the food warm-up in my own voice, as well as a bunch of other meditations, like the one Phil found, that I read to myself, as well as some Abe work, like the APOE on CD, and one workshop where I was in the hotseat, plus some Bach, and I put it all on
An IPod Shuffle!
and I can wear it around all day, and listen to myself and Abe and Jerry and Sir Neville Mariner and have uplifting stuff downloading into my mind all day long!!!!
It's all so good!!!!!!!
I'm feeling more lovely and self-appreciative than I've ever felt, more consistently. It's so good. I'm so much more patient with my children. How did that happen?! It's good.
So, how are you all? Cloudhorse, will you post that lovely Abe meditation you found, please? I will record that one for myself now, too, I just remembered that one!
Love to you all,
Leslie
PS
thanks Radiant Rebecca--It's so good to be okay with where we are. I love that.
Yay!!!

Lovely Leslie and all - I am doing so well with this Warm-Up and the support here to do so! The big thing for me is really feeling my body - Vibrationally - before - during and after eating. I am loving the delicious feeling of all these cells gently humming - and I don't want to lose that (And when I overeat I really do - physically and emotionally - feel Yuk) - I am listening to alot of Abraham material right now to Gee me up (I have to watch the "7 Day Wonder" thing I have put on myself in the past re Food and Body attempts - expecting to lose interest.
So Here I am - and this is life-changing stuff for me - learning to Love My Body - with food and Adoring Self-Talk - letting it move and eat and sit how it wants to - and having so much apreciation for this vehicle that is my means of Living now.
Love Suncat
PS It is still kinda weird - but very wonderful to me that I am giving my body a voice and seperate Entity status (I was just getting used to having an IB !!!! - boy its getting crowded here - what with the Universal Manager and all! - This morning I asked The Bod if she wanted a tea - "Water would be lovely thanks"....hmmmm......I have such a time remembering to drink water - but my body is so clear and definite in her wants - this is SO GREAT - it has never been so easy - I feel like I have handed over all the years of worry and over-thinking this

Hey all, a very busy week and constantly eating on the go has left me slightly out of sorts . Looking forward to slowing things down and really focussing on lining up my body and food in the upcoming week.
I love your ipod shuffle idea Leslie. I want to record a 58 sec. premeal process for my ipod too.

I also love the Ipod idea... fabulous!!
I love really appreciating my food - and having amazing fresh organic veggies to work with. We got a huge box full of heirloom tomatoes from our organic farmer this week. Yesterday I peeled a bunch of them, cut them and put them in a pot - they were so gorgeous at that point - reds, oranges, yellows, greens, and combinations... yummy!
I then made an amazing, tomato soup, and grilled cheese and herb sandwiches on whole grain breads... hungry, anyone??
Love and joy, Steph
