Byron Katie–I’m too fat
A friend of mine shared these videos a couple of months ago and I resonated so strongly with them that I knew I had to share with you. Of course I forgot about them until recently when I realized that they were a perfect fit for my upcoming Happiness & Self Premium Membership call (these videos also go very nicely with several topics in my “Letting Go” Premium Series, starting in August.) I invite you to join us as we discuss self esteem, self love and self discovery on July 19! Learn more at http://kimberlyenglot.com/being-the-perfect-sized-you/
Talk about getting it…You are the perfect sized YOU!!!
If you are unhappy regarding your own physical appearance, take the time to watch these videos! Take to heart what Katie has to say. (Part 2 is my favorite–“You’re not too fat to be you…and in a perfect Universe, someone has to be you!” Love it!!!– but make sure you watch Part 1 first or it won’t make as much sense)
Byron Katie: I’m too fat. Parts 1 & 2
Let It Go…
Based on feedback I got from my latest How Can I Help You? survey, I’ve created the next series for the Premium Membership calls (view previous call topics here)! I noticed a lot of people are struggling with fear and being weighed down (figuratively and literally). Most wanted more information on being happy with their bodies, as well as letting go of being afraid of what other people think….so to combat those predicaments, I’m creating the Let It Go series! 
Release yourself from the prison of:
- Worrying about what other people think of you (learn that it’s none of your business)
- Believing what your inner critic is yelling, (don’t believe everything you think)
- Needing utter perfection in your life so that you can continue the facade of happiness (no Martha Stewart’s allowed)
More details will come in the coming months, but starting in August 2010, Premium Members are guaranteed to learn how to let the junk go! See the basics below.
4 Part Series: Let It Go!
- … What other’s think. How to stop caring and start living!
- … Excess weight. How to finally be happy where you are, and watch the weight fall off as a “side-effect”!
- …“Emotional baggage.” How to release the “junk” you’ve accumulated from past heart-ache, disappointment and failure.
- … Perfection. When and where “good enough” is good enough!
If you’re interested in ANY of the topics above and need information you can quickly and easily apply to your own life, make sure you stop by the Premium Membership page and check out exactly what Premium Membership means for you and how you can join us for less than a fast-food meal each month! (Hurry so you don’t miss out on that Charter Members pricing, the monthly fee WILL GO UP).
Happiness and Self Acceptance
I have my Authentic Self show this afternoon. The show, “Eat Shrink and Be Happy” is roughly based on the action guide I wrote, but it’s not really about weight loss (the action guide or the Authentic Self show). It’s deeper that that. I wonderful colleague of mine talked about “weight acceptance”, I put it in terms of self esteem, self love and self acceptance. It’s a guide to happiness: body mind and spirit! I’m talking about how to be happy no matter what while answering some questions that people have been sending me regarding authentic weight loss.

When you’re unhappy with your outer appearance how can you get to a place of happiness in your whole life? One simple tip to remember: you are not your thoughts. You don’t need to believe everything your mind tells you. It’s your mind causing you pain. It’s telling you you’re not skinny enough, that you shouldn’t have eaten that brownie and that you should now feel guilty because of it. Its your mind that is getting upset over the number on the scale.
Here’s the thing, you’re not any of those things! You are not the number on the scale, the brownie or the guilt. You don’t have to look in the mirror with loathing — all of those things are a complete illusion. I know right you’re thinking I’m crazy. You might be swearing at me, thinking I’m just some skinny brat who has no idea what she’s talking about. That’s fine, you can take your anger out on me…but that will not change a thing.
Thoughts are the ONLY reason you are struggling in life. Whether it’s general unhappiness, dissatisfying career or relationships, or physical ailments, your thoughts are bringing you more unhappiness than is necessary. What if you decided that today you’re going to just be happy? What if you decided to look in the mirror and list the things you love about yourself rather than what you hate? What if you decided to show your body some gratitude and go for a walk instead of watching tv until you went to bed? What if instead of complaining you made a list of things you were grateful for? I bet that after 3 weeks of doing this, you’d notice a difference in how you feel. Something crazy happens when you stop believing all of your thoughts…your perspective changes. When your perspective changes, so do your circumstances. It takes time and effort, but that one little tip is the thing that is going to make the biggest difference in your entire life. Like a muscle or any new task you want to learn, exercise and practice makes perfect!
Try it. Let me know how it goes. And if you want to believe that I’m just some crazy person, that’s okay too, everything in life is a choice.

Take Time Out [Authentic Self newsletter]
Good Morning!
I am having trouble with my autoresponder, so this week’s newsletter is blog-style! Think of it as a sneak-peak for those of you who aren’t subscribers yet!
As most of you know, I’ve been working very hard on my newest project Authentic Weight Loss and the action guide: Eat, Shrink & Be Happy. I get really inspired, excited and enthusiastic and often forget to stop and take a breather. To be honest, I usually need to take a bit of a vaction after I finish a project, just to recover! I’m not complaining at all, but yesterday I chat with an awesome friend made me realize exactly what I was doing — rushing!
This is completely obvious to me….now! But I have been so caught up in everything the last couple of weeks that I didn’t realize it. My friend, Michelle Gabriel (http://www.michelle-gabriel.com) is a Law of Attraction and Consciousnes expert. We had a 20 minute chat yesterday that had me feeling relaxed and at ease in no time. She taught me a couple of exercises and I want to share what I learned with you.
- Even when you’re excited and inspired, take time out to chill once in a while. There is no rush; Everything happens when it is supposed to.
- There is no such thing as time, only right now and God/the Universe is always perfect (and therefore you are perfect too).
- You actually cancel out some of your authenticity by rushing and pushing. It needs time to catch up with you!
- Your authentic self can shine through (and much brighter) when you are relaxed and at peace.
I actually got this idea from another great in the field of consciousness (it was either Joe Vitale or James Ray…I can’t remember):
When you are in a hurry, you are coming from a place of fear. Basically to rush, or to hurry along means that you are afraid of missing out.
In my enthusiasm I got too caught up and started to miss out on life, it was only 2 weeks, but still! I got swept away with the…”I’ll enjoy it when…” myth and complete took myself out of the present moment!
Take time out today, from whatever you are doing, no matter how important you think it is and just be. Just enjoy your surroundings. Take in your environment and do a body check with how you’re feeling.

Thought of the Week:
“Sometimes it’s important to work for that pot of gold. But other times it’s essential to take time off and to make sure that your most important decision in the day simply consists of choosing which color to slide down on the rainbow.”

Weight Loss & The Law Of Attraction
What’s the “Secret” to weight loss?
Unfortunately according to the Law of Attraction, the more you focus on needing to lose weight, the more weight you need to lose. Until you are okay with your body as it is, you’re going to struggle with your weight. That is how the Law of Attraction works.
You might be saying, “But how am I supposed to lose 30 lbs if I don’t focus on losing weight?” or “I don’t like myself right now, I’ll like myself when…” There is a key phrase in that last thought, I will like myself when… The thing about the LOA is that if you constantly aim to like yourself when, you will never like yourself. You need to lose the weight in your mind first. If you don’t do that, you’ll never be satisfied with yourself, and will always feel like something is missing.
Once you lose the weight in your mind, and start to feel good about who you are, you will lose the weight off your body. You won’t need to follow strict diets, continuously read about weight loss tips or quick ways to lose inches. You will automatically make better choices and because you’re finally happy you won’t eat when you are bored, angy or loney. Your self esteem will increase. You will want to move and “exercise” because it feels good.
You have to learn to love yourself first. Weight loss is that simple. (I didn’t claim it was easy).
You can learn more about how to do that if you go to http://www.kimberlyenglot.com/weightlossreport and download your free 10 page report.
