After trying for 7 years to release my “baby weight” (weight gained during pregnancy), God led me to find THIN WITHIN. And, within 6 months, I’d released 25 lbs!
I love the freedom of THIN WITHIN! No food is “good” or “bad” or “forbidden”. I can eat whatever I like, so long as I stay within the boundaries of “hunger” and “fullness” (don’t eat until my stomach is empty, then stop before I’ve stuffed myself).
If you don’t want the religious bit, try Jane R. Hirschmann’s “Overcoming Overeating”. Same premise without the Christianity.
But, it’s much more freeing to know a God who will forgive you if you go overboard. You just get up, push “reset” and start again because “His mercies are new every morning”! (Lamentations 3:23)
Excellent book! Highly recommended!

I have read many books along the no-diet approach. I’ve lost count on how many. But this book is out in front. As a Christian I want a book that has scripture involved in it. Therefore, this book is spot on for those of us who are Christians. I have read numerous Christian books along the lines of the no-diet approach, but this one is out in front by miles. If you’ve read all the other books, and think there isn’t anything new to read about, please read this one. It has so many excellent things in it that are not covered in other books. You wil find a Grace-oriented approach and will feel set free from condemnation by a number of the ideas and approaches they give when you have a bad day of overeating. You won’t be disappointed with this book. I didn’t expect to read anything new, but I was wrong. You will learn you are not a failure, just someone who sometimes fails!!

At 40 years of age, I have been on and off diets all of my life, and I am free from the bondage of “success/failure” from diets, now that I have learned to eat how my body was designed. Thin Within has been an “answered prayer” for me. I do not have to depend on any diet to work…My body works and I can depend on it. Thin Within has taught me how to think, believe and act like a thin person, which is how I was created. I want to say a big “Thank you!!” to Dr. Arthur and Judy Halliday and Heidi Bylsma for writing this book! I am now free!!

At first I had a hard time with this book because it reminded me of my failures about 5 years ago with Gwen Shamblin’s Weigh Down program. I left the book on my coffee table and picked it up about six weeks later with a more open heart and mind.
Wow, am I glad I did. Now I see that before, the focus was on obedience, but I could never quite make the connection and understand how eating when I wasn’t hungry was “disobedient”. It seemed to be all or nothing in that program.
This book gives me the freedom to change the way I eat in gradual steps. Right now I am waiting until I am hungry to eat, sitting down and eating in a relaxed way, etc. I have not fully learned to stop when satisfied but I am getting there. I feel great about the progress I have made and know the rest will come as I continue. The best part is that almost immediately, I stopped thinking constantly about food at felt at peace with myself and with God in this area.
Rethinking years of wrong habits and ideas does not come overnight by “being obedient”. It comes with understanding of ourselves, how our bodies are made and with the loving, step-by-step, grace filled approach this book offers. I highly recommend it!

This book has been a godsend in my life. I’ve lost over 80 lbs. so far following the basic principles of this book – eating anything you want in moderation when you’re hungry, then stopping when you’re full, while seeking God’s help and presence to guide you along the way. What a refreshing difference from judgmental, strict, nearly-impossible to follow programs. When you think about it, if God didn’t intend for us to eat and enjoy our food as a pleasurable experience, He wouldn’t have made such an abundance of wonderful, deicious foods for us. The emphasis on His grace and love in this book is a comfort and a blessing.Please pay no mind to the negative comments about the spiritual aspects of this newer edition. Leaving God out of the equation would be like buying a TV set without a power cord – it’s a vital component to make it work! When we finally realize the truth that we can’t do this on our own power, and turn our problem over to Him, is when we can finally succeed in losing the weight. Buy this book, you won’t be sorry!
