Winnie!

Winnie, I just noticed your comment, and I wanted to address what you had said. Hypnotheraphy is not like stage hypnosis. There is nobody urging you to cluck and run around like a chicken or kiss a broom. You are completely aware the whole time on one level, and yet at another level your mind is taking in a different mindset of thinking about food and more importantly about yourself. I am fat because, yes I was overeating and eating all the wrong things, but more most of all, I am fat because of conditioning from my childhood and low self esteem. There is some very valuable therapy that goes along with this and it is worth it's weight in gold. If you want to know more Winnie, please visit Happy Weight Dot Com. It can explain it way better than I can. There is absolutely nothing to be afraid of. The program teaches you to feel good about yourself, feel good about your body and how to finally enjoy eating and stop demonizing it. Before I started this program I doubt that I ever put anything in my mouth without feeling guilty or bad about it. I bet I never looked at myself in the mirror without wanting to kick my ass from here to Timbucto, or feeling incredibly sad at what I saw there. I am learning to love myself.

I can't say it any better than this: Become a natural eater, be your happy weight, and break free from food and eating issues forever.

There is no mumbo jumbo. It's not Satanic. It's not bad for you, and it may just give you back control of your appetites and eating habits.

I'm a good Christian woman. My relationship with my Saviour and Heavenly Father is one of the most important things in my life. I have complete and utter faith in them, and I feel very good about this program and about my therapist. I know it will not harm me.

Four weeks in and going strong!

It's hard to believe that I haven't always been eating the way I have been eating these past 4 weeks. I can't believe I wasted all those years on dieting. Yes, I've lost a ton of weight by dieting, but I've also gained a lot of weight as the result of dieting. In fact . . . dieting has made me fat! I am so happy that I will never need to go on another diet. This change I have made in my life is something I can happily live with for the rest of my life.

Food has never tasted better.

I am not starving.

I am not feeling deprived.

I am enjoying what I do eat more than I have enjoyed any food in a very long time.

I've lost a stone in weight.

Amazing eh?

One thing that I noticed the other day. I had worked all day and not had time for anything to eat, and then I had to go to the chiropodist so by about 4 o'clock in the afternoon I was absolutely starving. We were at the mall picking up a few things for our holidays and we decided to grab something to eat at the food court, as my husband hadn't had anything since breakfast either. We got a KFC snack pack.

UGH . . . I did NOT like it, NOT AT ALL! It didn't taste good to me in the least!! I ended up pulling off all the skin and just eating the chicken underneath. I have always love, Love, LOVED KFC? Strange, my tastes are changing.

It's exactly as she says on the CD. If you eat something that's not really all that good for you, your stomach will tell you, and you'll know that it wasn't good for you, and you won't enjoy it.

I am so glad, really, really glad! It helps to re-enforce the feelings that I am not missing anything at all!

I find myself craving salads and fruit, and vegetables. It's all pretty wonderful.

We are going to Austria on holiday on Monday and I am bringing my food diary with me, and also the cds to listen to and my walkman. I bet there's some really nice food to enjoy in Austria and I plan on enjoying it and I am thankful also that with the mindset I am in now, that I won't be overdoing it!

Can this be a whole new me? I sure hope so!
