Yes! You will do it. You're an inspiration. I find the best way for fastest change is to come into a state of acceptance and perfection TODAY. Really see yourself as perfect today, but it's really what you are. love, lisa

tigerlily,
I can't begin to tell you ...i am still reeling...this article speaks to me so strongly it is spooky. I have been begging God, the universe, someone, to show me how the heck i'm supposed to learn to love myself.
I've been struggling with gratitude, and now i know why, because of "lack of self-appreciation".
Now ALL KINDS of things make sense to me, self appreciation leads to gratitude leads to attracting the wonderful things you've always dreamed about.
There is a difference between arrogance and confidence.
There is a difference between addiction and love.
There is a difference between self-aggrandization and declaring your talents.
There is a difference between being stuck on yourself and adoring yourself.
omg...i wish i'd known this a long time ago....
It's in my head. Wow.
Now the hard part is getting it into my heart. My heart has been shut down for so long...
someone....help me...oh god i want the ache to end....

Great blog! Wow. I love the Star Wars quote. Do or do not, but there is no try. i too am allowing a perfect body. I live by a quote from A Course in Miracles "I am sustained by the Love of God", (plus it helps that I got a gym membership for Christmas!!! Keep shining your light. Love, lisa

WooHoo TigerLily is back! This is so gorgeous and completely in line with what I was most needing to read this evening. Complete confidence in the outcome even when the steps of the journey are outside of your understanding. Complete trust in yourSelf, to know that the Essence of every desire already exists.

Hi Tigerlilly,
So nice to meet you! Our views and concepts about weight loss are so very similar! I have lost 170 pounds using the Law of Attraction and most recently, the teachings of Abraham-Hicks. Please visit my website at http://www.iam-iam-iam.com and tell me what you think! We are soul sisters!
Love,
Sierra

I want to tell you that those words you used to describe your mother process are the most lovable words I've ever read about surrendering to god.
Actually I love that expression that you used: Surrender to GOD
I always love to read your posts
Love

Ah, Tigerlily - this is such a beautiful expression of your ever evolving connection to Source - your choices in what to believe about this journey that you are taking with your mother, your sisters and with yourSelf - are creating a richness that is so powerful to me.
There is something liberating about being involving in the process of another's transition that allows you to become more fully yourself than you ever have before - this was one of the results of my father's death this past spring - and it is so clearly your experience here.
Thank you! for sharing these understandings and insights with us.

TigerLily - this is a gorgeous post (and I love the new look of the site too!). I've been writing about self trust recently also - and how it is a relationship between me and my InnerSelf - and then I realized that I had left out an important party - that I also wanted to heal the trust relationship between me and my body. Both ways. There were times when I felt my body had betrayed me .. thru illness, thru weight gain, etc - and I sensed that my body also felt that I had betrayed its trust as caretaker. So, I've been developing both relationships and learning to relax and allow that trust to flow.

Hi Tiger lily
What a wonderful post.
I think it pushed the buttons for everyone, because trusting ourselves is something that we all struggle with
As Gina I did some progress in some areas, but still not the same progress in other areas
Your posts are full of love.
Thanks a lot for your wonderful blog

Very cool! Initially when you talked about others disappointing you, I went off on another track, thinking about expectations that we hold for others instead of ourselves - and I had trouble equating that with distrust of self, but you brought me around very nicely! One of the key things I've noticed in the last 5 years is when I'm disappointed...I begin to doubt myself, lose faith in my ability to discern what is good for me, forgetting that I CHOOSE. I recognize it sooner now, but it does take me awhile to turn it around in my gut, to feel it from the inside out, and just because I recognize it doesn't mean I'm never subject to self distrust again. And that's okay...I never get it done and I never get it wrong. (g)
I've enjoyed this post, as usual.

Hi Tiger Lily: An excellent post with lots to chew on (no pun intended). I remember clearly asking my therapist once: "When will I ever be a grown up? When will I be able to trust myself to follow through?" My track record in many areas is excellent; I always do what I say I will do. But in a few areas I'm like a child, promising one thing (either to myself or to others) and ultimately delivering results that fall far short of what I thought I could/would produce. Weight control is the most obvious of those poor results. I wear my failure everyday for everyone else to see!
So, yes, I trust myself in many ways, but not to take good care of my body. Trust can only come when I have followed through consistently. When I have made thoughtful food choices - consistently. When I have moved and stretched my muscles and joints - consistently. When I have given my body enough water to drink every day.
Those times when I have successfully controlled my eating behaviors (dieted), it is the self-control that felt best, even better than the weight loss.

Hi Tiger Lily: I'm glad you like the Abe Scale idea. I LOVE your idea about adding the audio affirmations a la Abe. I got so excited I sent an email to Jerry and Esther asking if they wanted to co-create this scale with us. What could be more fun!?
I will also look forward to your ideas about inspired action journeys. Thanks for your encouragement about the 8 miles; I like your take on it.
All is certainly well! - Radiance Project

This is fantastic! I've lived this one out this very week. I got over being mad at myself for gaining weight after going through divorce. Now, I've been practicing how it felt a year ago..and remembering how good I felt...and exercising as if I didn't take anytime off...and carrying myself as though I was back in the body I love (meanwhilst trying to Really love the body I'm in) and what happened? Two neighbors lavished compliments about having dropped some weight...one good friend said more of the same...so much so that I decided to weigh myself...NO CHANGE...however...MUCH CHANGE in the heart and it is being reflected outward...the scale will catch up to this inward image for sure! Blessings to you!

Hi Tiger Lily: Enjoyed the above quote very much.
Been pondering and reading today, "Ask and It Is Given", for the second time. Pondering especially that example that Abe likes to use of the trip from Phoenix to San Diego; how if we keep heading for SD we will surely get there, but if we keep getting turned around and heading back toward Phoenix, it can feel as if we will NEVER make it to SD. Somehow, on our journey to San Diego, we have to take our focus off where we have been and even where we are now, and focus only on where we are going. And feel good while we're heading there! Yeah.
So I started applying that to the numbers on the scale, which I've been pretty much ignoring for three months now. And I realized that what we need is a digital scale that only shows us our goal. In other words, you program in where you are and where you want to be, and each time you hop on it reads the number of pounds you have left to "travel". You never see the "reality" of what you weigh now, you never compare yourself to where you have been. You just say, "I've got 115 miles to go, I am heading in the right direction, and this feels good." I wonder who we should talk to about manufacturing The Abe scale? :o)
Seriously though, it's now become clear to me that 35 years of dieting has inextricably implanted ideas in my head about what is fattening, what is not, and what it takes to lose weight. I've been hoping I could gently let go those ideas, that maybe no "action journey" was really necessary. The net result of the three month experiment has been that I've traveled back toward Phoenix about eight miles, my apnea has returned, I'm not getting good sleep, so I'm pooped all the time, so I'm stress eating, so I'm even more so on my weigh (!) back to Phoenix!!!
Tiger Lily, how to incorporate a powerful, Abe-like action journey? How to weave it into the LOA fabric? There must be a way to do it. Yet every time recently when I have tried to limit my intake or avoid eating certain foods, I find my inner self rebelling. I am most certainly not in joy. And Abe says action should never be taken without JOY.
Thoughts? Anyone?

What a great post...one that I can really relate a lot to.
I am trying to lose my last 10 pounds of baby weight and the mantra "The last 10 pounds are the hardest" keep going through my head as I step on the scale. Well...of course they are the hardest if I am going to think like this!
Thanks for helping me to see this in a different light.

Hello Again Tiger Lily: As always, I appreciate and learn from your astute and powerful posts. However, I think I was not clear in explaining my exact question. I'm not really talking about generating feelings of love for myself when I stand and study my reflection. I'm already there pretty much all the time. Where I'm not feeling powerful is when I'm caught off guard by a sudden reflection. Even then I'm not asking about how to maintain a self-loving attitude; I'm asking about ideas for not noticing the gap between where I want to be and where I am. I think I told you that I am good at carrying around a vision/feeling of being a trim-but-curvy size 8. It's so real for me inside my head! Then that sneaky mirror or plate glass window smacks me with an entirely different picture of reality. Whoa! I'm not a size 8! I'm not even close!
Try as I might, I have been unable to frame any affirmations or positive self talk that will easily get me back to feeling good about the distance I still have to go. It would be like trying to generate more money at the same time you are having to look at your tiny bank balance every so often. How to remain powerful in the face of a "reality" that differs profoundly from the one we are creating in our heads? I've heard Abe say things like:
"That's just the fading residual of my old way of thinking. That doesn't apply to me now. I'm creating a whole new reality for myself. I know it is on its way to me now. I can feel it getting closer." etc.
So, bottom line, I guess I'm asking if you've ever worked up a series of affirmations about this specific subject that can turn around your negative thinking or the impact of a sudden dose of "reality"? If so, would you be willing to share?
Thanks. I hope this was more clear. I'll look forward to reading your response.

Really love finding your site. Thought you might enjoy this quote:
Metabolism is vibrational response to your moment in time. Metabolism is the way the Energy is moving through your body. And so, everything is in response to the way you feel -- everything is. Everything is mind over matter. Every disease is mental first. Everything is about thought. Everything is about vibration. Everything is about the way you feel. Practice scenarios that feel good--and never mind reality. Reality is only a brief moment in time that you keep repeating.

Tigerlily,
This post really catches at me .. I also experience the shock, and there are days when I can actually feel shock reverberate through me, when I catch a glimpse of myself unexpectedly in a mirror, in a photo. "That's not me!" is always my first, often horrified, throught.
In my growing up years, I was a slender girl, and young woman. I didn't have an eating or weight problem, but my mother certainly did. And it affected me. Viscerally. She would sneak into the kitchen at night when she thought everyone else was sleeping, and I could hear her chewing. It turned my stomach. And, it set up some beliefs for me. I think that is when my weight issues began, even though it didn't manifest til a few years later.
In college I put on a little weight at first (140s), and then dropped to my lowest adult weight of 117 after college.
And then, the weight began to sneak on, a few pounds here, and there, a baby, and another 50 while preganant, but didn't lose it all, and the more I focused on noticing my weight, the more it kept coming - til I sit here typing at 215 pounds this morning.
The interesting thing is, in my head, I'm still a woman who weight 120 pounds. And when I see myself in the mirror - I'm shocked. In fact, other than the batroom mirrow, shoulders up, I rarely see myself. My full length mirror is hidden in a corner in my room, only accessed after fully dressed. I don't want to see myself.
So when you talk about really looking, really seeing, really allowing myself to be beautiful just as I am - wow! my feeling is a great big honking fear. Yup, that f.e.a.r - fear. I don't want to see who I am.
Ah, what a GIFT you've given me today - this is such a beautiful insight - and because I can feel the fear, and know what it is, I can now step into it, embrace the fear and embrace me.
Dear Tigerlily, today you've given me the opportunity to allow myself to look at myself as I truly am in this moment, and love the woman that I am right now. It doesn't mean I have to remain at this weight, but it doesn't mean that I can't either. What I can do is acknowledge that aspect of me - the physical aspect of me, and love it.
I am sending sincere and joyful appreciation your way today.
Em

Tiger Lily: Another fabulous post. Loved the bridge you built to your own personal point of power.
On a related issue: I've been doing envisioning exercises as described and recommended by Abe. At first it was hard to remember back to being the size I want to be again, but I am now to the point where I can close my eyes anywhere and capture the feeling tone of "trim-but-curvy size 8". What vitality and radiance I felt and projected! Life was so easy and fun when walking was striding and I could bend at the waist and touch the floor with my palms! I just bring that feeling into NOW and I can easily spend 17 seconds in that space, and add more 17-second increments when I'm in bed or in the shower, undisturbed.
So it is always so very shocking when I encounter a mirror! I have yet to be able to remain powerful when I walk by a full length mirror or plate glass window. How it FEELS to me is like a sudden slap across the face, and I am always so disconcerted, that I'm unable to maintain my hi vibe. I've tried framing affirmations in advance, but they just aren't accessible to me when faced with an unexpected mirror image. Have you got any thoughts on this? Any powerful processes you've used?
Enjoying each and every one of your lucid, honest, probing posts. Glad you're here for me as I sift through my own set of contrasts.
All is well...Radiance Project
