TESTIMONIALS

Betsy is a beautiful, warm-hearted and genuinely loving soul whose goal is to see Only Love in everyone and in all things.

I received this book as a gift from my sister for Christmas.  At first, I was taken aback at the title and why I would receive such a gift.  As I looked further, I was less confused and began to feel empowered over how this book seemed to fit me perfectly.  Anyone who has struggled with weight loss, numerous diets, and theories is looking for a way out, an easy fix.  It's not until we explore the emotional relationship we have with eating and food that we can truly unlock what drives to overeat and subsequently gain weight or prevent us from losing weight.  I started to use the book shortly after the holiday ended.  I reflect each day on what I ate and see if I can connect the situational circumstances that exist.  Things like weather, mood, bad day at work, stress, lack of sleep, etc. All these things we experience and try to console with food.  This book / journal is helping me identify those triggers and help me provide better control and hopefully propel me forward in my weight loss journey.

People familiar with A Course In Miracles are grateful for a way to utilize the teachings in The Course with issues they have about dieting.  Off course, many comment that Betsy Lou Zipkin's journal can apply to any physical addiction issues.

Betsy Zipkin's inspirational book, "Done with Dieting" is a fresh reminder that I'm more than my body - or more than my physical appearance.  For example, Quote #46 is:  

"Obsessing about my 

Weight or appearance, 

Serves no useful purpose.  

Being kind to myself will." 

Each page brings a new message to contemplate and write about.  These messages are designed to help the reader allow their feelings to surface so they can be acknowledged as they are journaling.  Although they are meant to help with my food imbalances, they are spiritual messages that go deep, to get to the root of our emotional pain that triggers hunger.  For example, message #53 is:

"It is a lack of forgiveness

I have towards myself,

That needs to be revealed.

So I may be healed of an

Inner starvation."

As it says in A Course In Miracles, "All bodily appetites are really a yearning for God."  

Betsy's book will be appreciated by those who are truly on a spiritual path as it unleashes what's inside of us.

If you like to journal, or are considering gifting someone who does, you would do well to acquaint yourself with Betsy's offering of ONLY LOVE MATTERS.  Each of its 365 day pages is headed with an inspirational prayer that helps to put you in a peaceful mindset. Because it has an attractive soft cover it is easy to handle as you fill its pages.  My first purchase was in 2010 and since then I have filled nine ONLY LOVE MATTERS  journals, which  (pardon the pun) I think speaks volumes for its appeal.
