Author Interview - Melonie Dodaro, MindBody FX Lifestyle

What’s on your nightstand now?

I’m currently reading Virus of the Mind. It’s a fascinating book, I’m really enjoying it!

When did you first realize you wanted to be a writer?

I always knew I wanted to write a book, I just didn’t know about what until I stumbled upon what I call the ‘missing link to weight loss’ – the mind-body connection. Once I learned that, I was clear on what I wanted to write about and will probably never write about anything other than that.

Favorite quote from a book?

My favorite quote is really a large part of the premise behind my book and my program, it is: “You become what you think about.” By Earl Nightingale

What inspired you to write your first book?

I grew up in an obese family and also struggled with my weight. I worked in the weight loss industry for over 10 years and once I found what I believe to be the missing link in weight management ‘ Your Mind’ my mission began to create a new approach to weight loss. I wanted to write a book that will help ends the vicious cycle of yo-yo dieting. I personally know what this is like and have worked with thousands of clients who struggled to find a solution that worked, one that eludes them in the weight loss industry currently, that’s what inspired me to write my book and my complete program.

What books have most influenced your life?

I have been influenced by many books and authors. Just a few are: The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz, Psycho-Cybernetics by Maxwell Maltz, The Power of Intention by Wayne Dyer and The Law of Attraction by Ester and Jerry Hicks.
