Yesterday I was walking past a store window and I caught my reflection. Yes, I'm getting slightly smaller (and I wish it was more visible), but that wasn't what really caught my eye. It was my pants. They were looking loose and stretched out. And hardly flattering. Today I went to WalMart to get some interim pants to replace my saggy baggy size XL (16/18) ones. I knew the next size down was L (12/14). Since it's been years since I've worn a size 12 anything there was a part of me that thought I was crazy even looking for a smaller size yet. After a bit of a search I was delighted to find 3 pairs of Athletic Works Black Capri pants with two white stripes down each side in Size L. I didn't try them on in the store. I decided to be confident and bring them home anyway. Because even if I couldn't get into them today, I knew that it wouldn't be long before I would be proudly wearing them.
Well I am delighted to say that I am sitting here wearing a pair of size L Athletic Works Black Capri pants with two white stripes down each side!!! And also I'm wearing a size L (12/14) TShirt!
So even though the bathroom scale is being a little stubborn and I'm still in the 180's, I am obviously losing inches. Talk about the best birthday present ever!

Based on the Law of Attraction, the overall premise of The Secret is simple: You can get what you truly feel about. It’s not just thinking about something; you need to envision the results exactly as you would like them to be—and then watch them happen. In this full-color companion to The Secret DVD, Rhonda Byrne discusses its role in the work of some of our most successful teachers including Neale Donald Walsch, Dr. Fred Alan Wolf, Jack Canfield, Dr. John Gray, and Michael Bernard Beckwith. All of them share stories of success ranging from eradicating disease and overcoming obstacles to acquiring wealth and achieving what most would consider the impossible.
