The book explores the dynamics of correct weight management by any person with weight issues to start owning up to the fact a person is fat because at some level they want to be fat.

Once the pattern to "need" to be fat is broken, weight loss and weight management is easy and becomes a non-issue.

Ma recherche d''amour commenceavec eux.Les paroles émanant de leurs lèvres gracieuses et joyeuses guérissent le cœurde la peur et soulagent la détresse de l''âme des frottis nocifs du désir. En leurprésence, que le cœur ne soit pas attristé à la vue de l''amour, car notre avenirréside dans des royaumes supérieurs; tout-ce dont nous avons besoin, c''est del''amour, pas de notions banales à la barre. Leur existence est un modeperpétuel de prédilection pour la Conscience Créative Infinie, de radieuxphares de la paix, de vastes fontaines de connaissance supérieure.Sans sa présence aimante dans ma vie, son encouragement constant et le douxappel à l''honnêteté de mon beau saphir étoilé, mon professeur et mon seulamour, je n''aurais jamais pu concevoir ce livre, ni expérimenter ce que cela faitd''aimer Sa Majesté. Par conséquent, je ne prends aucun crédit pour le contenude ce livre. Je ne suis ni leader ni enseignant, ni canal spirituel ni maître loin delà. Je ne suis qu''un humble étudiant de la vérité.Suivez l''infini de tout votre cœur et de toute votre force, mais surtout pas moi.
