The author states from the very beginning this is not a diet book. Thank goodness, because I’ve never been successful with dieting. This book is all about the mind and teaching it to work for you, not against you. Ms. Jones is also quick to point out that although it is designed for 90-days, most will see results sooner. Why wouldn’t you want to try it?

The book introduces an action plan to put into motion the Law of Attraction for weight loss. It seems the author was intrigued by this topic when it was introduced on a recent Oprah show with the book “The Secret.” But she didn’t stop there. She researched and studied with others until she could develop something that would work for her and others with the same issue.

I guess we’ve probably all heard of the Law of Attraction. Basically you get what you are thinking about or focusing on. It “…teaches you to reject reality and fantasize about what you would like to see or have….” I should start fantasizing about a clean house right now!

Ms. Jones outlines her plan and then explains how to use it in only 29 pages. The rest of the 221-page paperback is in a workbook format. This makes it easy to carry around to refer to throughout your day. Instead of beating you over the head with your problems, she encourages readers to make new habits that will help them reach their goal. The positive approach is much more user-friendly and the idea of actually writing responses to the questions and having a record of your goals is invaluable. “Scripting your way to success is an extremely forceful tool for change.”

She even goes into how when you change one thing in your life, other changes just may follow. I’m embarrassed to say she mentions cleaning and organizing your living space. How did she know that’s a main problem for me right now? She gives several other examples designed to help you feel better about yourself so that those good vibes will help you attract more positive ones. Her primary goal is for readers to control the negative chatter that goes on in our heads. “You will attract the goals you desire by using your positive emotions because when you feel good, you attract situations and outcomes which match that same frequency.”As the author states, this isn’t just about weight loss, but building self-esteem. She offers many techniques which can instantly help with your mental image of yourself. “How I Lost 40 Pounds Utilizing the Law of Attraction” by Summer Jones also addresses obstacles you may encounter in your journey. And she has you writing daily affirmations to reinforce all that you learn. It is like having your best friend checking in on you daily and making your stand on the scale when you don’t want to. Or throwing away the hidden gallon of ice cream! The format is engaging and upbeat enough to encourage readers to give it a try. Ninety days may seem like forever, but it is only three short months to a new and improved you. Maybe even a thinner you! I should say definitely a thinner you.
