Just read an article on-line that totally motivated me to try a different way to lose weight. Anyone ever hear or try these methods??

"The only way to let-go of unwanted weight is to let-go of unwanted emotional baggage, let-go of fears and worries, let-go of guilt and shame, let-go of self-hatred and self-loathing, and let-go of the crazy beliefs about food, fat, weight, and dieting, that the “establishment” has fed you all your life. Look in the mirror. Look around you. What you’ve been told simply isn’t an accurate perspective of reality; it simply doesn’t work the way they say it does. It isn’t what you eat that’s making you fat; it’s what’s eating you. Most people say, “I’ll be happy when I lose this extra weight;” but, the truth is, this kind of “happiness” will last only as long as you keep the weight off. Finding true happiness, however, can be the greatest weight-reduction plan ever; and there are techniques now available that can help you release the programming that “covered-up” your happiness – freeing you to live the way you want to live.
There are several change-techniques available today that can help you let-go of unwanted pounds by helping you let-go of unwanted thoughts and emotions. Many of them can be quickly and easily learned – for Free! And, many of them are used by weight-loss gurus such as Paul McKenna, as well as success gurus, such as the teachers featured in “The Secret.” If you want to try fad diets and drugs, that’s your choice; but you owe it to yourself to at least first try something that’s Free, easy, and safe. Methods such as EFT, The Z-Point Process, and TAT, have been successfully used for over a decade; and they have each produced many “permanent” successes. I personally lost 55-pounds (just once – not over and over…) using prayer, understanding, forgiveness, and the techniques listed above. That was 5-years ago; and I didn’t change my diet, or exercise habits – just my perspective and beliefs about food and my body. In other words, I changed my body by first changing my mind and then letting the rest happen naturally."
