Dear Brooke… I told myself on Sept. 1st that I would check in with you to report on my goal this month. You’ve changed another life. I have huge gratitude for what I’m learning in scholars. If confetti could have exploded out of the scale when I got on it this morning, it would have. 10.4 lbs lost this month. (That’s a big deal for me.) My goal for September was to lose 7-10 lbs. I was concerned that it would be too hard to do. Instead, I discovered your Stop Over Eating Program really works. One day when my husband and I walked through Costco, I simply passed up a delicious sample. He looked at me and in a nice, curious way said, “that’s crazy”. I looked at him, smiled and said, “No, It’s Freedom.” I started scholars in August and am appreciating the daily homework and the material you’ve made available. I am waking up to a higher understanding of the power of my own God given Brain. I didn’t realize there were thoughts that weren’t serving me, and now I’m learning how to create intentional thoughts that do. What a gift.

21.6 more pounds to lose. (5′ 8 1/2″ going for 140). Perhaps, a disco ball will fall out of my ceiling on that day… because the weight loss will happen. My thoughts will continue to be analyzed with self compassion, considered with fascination, and worked upon in love. Thanks for all you do. Smiles, Marne
