The Church of Be As You Are and Learn From It - By: Pat Matson

Here in America, we've gone obsessively crazy over the rage of weight loss product sellers who have convinced us that fat is not our friend. Well, it's my friend. I'm earning my way into enlightenment with it and I hope you will think of leaving the Church of Weight Loss and join me.

In the Church of Weight Loss, one is absolutely not sanctified without six-pack abs, non-jiggling thighs, high and tight buns of steel, a mandated percentage of body fat, the right lift to one's eyelids and one's boobs, and the wearing of only specified sizes. It makes me absolutely sick to think about it.

If I am fat or worse yet (as in Mortal Sin) I am obese, and I try to adhere to the Church of Weight loss, I become my own harshest critic about my fat. I think poorly of being fat, and I scorn the fact that I am a Divine Being.

What is the good in being fat?

* It keeps me warm.

* It lets me see and love "the round" vs. seeing flat, which I don't admire.

* It give me big boobs.

* It lets me feel okay about talking brashly about truth

* It makes me feel powerful - like there's a lot backing up my words

* It's a very comfortable base for my lover

Me, I'm from the Church of Be As You Are and Learn From It. How in heaven's name will you learn the lessons you are here to learn if you surgically alter your Report Card? I have a very strong sense that you don't understand about your body being your Report Card, so let me explain it.

This one Life each of us is experiencing is crafted specifically so that we can unfold an understanding of both ourselves and the world we live in. Mr. Einstein was one smart man to name this experience Relativity. This is a relative experience. It is relative to what you think, because what you think, is precisely what you get. The experience is relative to the thought that precedes it.

The way your body looks is directly an out-picturing of the way you think about your body. I was told as a baby that I was fat. I believed it. I was a kid. What else could I do? I believed it was true, and began to think it. The propaganda input from diet companies, the medical community, and the media reinforced this idea that I was really, really fat. I thought it even more. I got more fat. Now, I share my own experiences with you because, dear readers, you are doing the same thing.

You are thinking, accepting, and believing that you've got your grandma's wide butt; you'll most likely inherit her diabetes too. You believe the commercials that tell you statistics that you are then supposed to live your life by....with the help of their product, of course. You are thinking your fat firmly into place.

And then the Church of Weight Loss comes along and utterly annihilates the only Report Card that can tell you what mental mistakes you are making so that you can correct them once and for all, permanently, inside yourself without the help of their products. If you buy into the way they think, you've signed your name on the roster of the Church of Weight Loss for the rest of your life.

Just relax and let your body be as it is. It will teach you so much about precisely how you have been thinking. If you want a permanent cure, it only comes via correcting the way you think. You might consider joining the Church of Be As You Are and Learn From It. It's been the ultimate blessing in achieving self-love and self-acceptance for my own sweet life.
