Think Yourself Thin: The Visualization Technique That Will Make You Lose Weight (Paperback)

by Debbie Johnson (Author)

Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review
Debbie Johnson's troubles with weight control began when a favorite pair of pants shrunk in the dryer. She assumed she was getting fat and started a diet. Over the next 10 years she added 40 pounds, mostly because, she says, she obsessed over the idea of being overweight. When she started using visualization exercises, the same ones that had brought her success in business, the extra weight melted away. Johnson's method won't work for everyone, but the worst that can happen if you try it is that you'll be out the price of the book, which still makes the experience cheaper than a lot of weight-loss programs.

Product Description

5.0 out of 5 stars More than just a weight loss book, May 28, 2000

By	Sk8Fan (Washington State) - See all my reviews

This is the best book on weight loss that I have ever read, and believe me I've read literally dozens. I'm the master of the quick fix, and have tried most diets out there.

This book isn't just for weight loss, it's about an all over attitude change relating to WHY the weight is there and HOW to change your mental focus towards positive thinking to get rid of the weight and keep it off. For all of you out there who, like me, have berated yourselves about your weight or have ever labeled yourself negatively because of it, this book is for you. It's helped me raise my self-esteem in a way I haven't been able to do in 20 years.

Debbie Johnson takes you through a step by step process including affirmations, journalling with specific questions and instructions, visualization and more. She doesn't just talk around the issue, she gives concrete steps to take. No matter how much weight you'll lose, this book will also help you to accept yourself and change negative thinking into positive thinking. And you ARE what you THINK! So think THIN!

At the end of this book, she states that this process can be used for anything - love, money, career, relationships, even other types of addictions. I believe it wholeheartedly. This is the best money you'll ever spend on a self-help book.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must-have for all interested in changing their lives!, April 21, 1999

By A Customer

I have to admit that I was skeptical when I first picked up Debbie Johnson's book a month or so ago, but can now testify that her techniques do indeed work! The visualization exercises can be used to apply to any and all areas of one's life, and I feel that they are already helping me reach my fitness peak faster. I have reread this book *five* times thus far. . .the motivational value is outstanding. As a result, I have bettered myself not only physically, but mentally and spiritually, as well. If there's any room in your life for inspiration (and I guarantee you there is), there's room in your library for THINK YOURSELF THIN!

5.0 out of 5 stars The Last Weight-Loss Book You Will Ever Buy, April 16, 1999

By	Lucita Bonita (NYC, NY USA) - See all my reviews

Anybody who understands how the mind works will find the principles outlined in this book to be sound. Johnson doesn't just explain how to lose the weight, but WHY it is there in the first place. Her technique is one of healing the mind-body relationship and making life changes from the source: which is YOU. I've already changed my body considerably through the use of hypnosis, so I already knew it would work. However, hypnosis doesn't address the entire situation and I stopped making progress until I discovered this book. I didn't believe it until I tried and proved to myself how much control I have over my appearance. This is a very liberating experience and I honestly can't recommend this book enough.
