Success Stories

My name is Tania Olsson and I'm a customer service representative from Minnesota. When I was overweight, I lived in a state of overwhelming helplessness. I felt out of control' it was frightening. Then I dropped 76 lbs. in 12 short months with Positive Changes! I lost 10 inches off my waist and my dress size plunged from a 22 to sleek size 10. Hypnosis was the smartest investment of my life. My success was their main concern and I got more than I expected from my private hypnosis sessions. I feel wonderful about myself. If it wasn't for hypnosis, I wouldn't be enjoying my slim, healthy body today.

I'd always been tall and trim in high school, and I was shocked and appalled when I realized how fat I'd become. My folks never allowed junk food in the house, but when I got old enough to make my own food choices, I went hog wild. Chips, ice cream and soda pop were my routine. I used food as comfort. I told myself it was just baby fat, that it would go away, but it didn't. I was getting fatter every week. With fat came anxiety and depression. I could see folks turning sideways to squeeze past me and I'd cringe inside. My self-esteem was nil. I refused to eat in public because I knew what people were thinking... 'Look at what you're eating... no wonder you're so fat. I was always trying the next fad diet. I tried grueling exercise routines but it would never stick, and when I didn't feel the results, I'd get discouraged. The cravings were unbearable. I lost 30 lbs. twice with weight loss drugs, but my weight shot back up so fast it made my head spin. The drugs set me on an emotional rollercoaster. I couldn't bear the thought of a third go around. Nothing I do works, I told myself as I sat on the couch with a gallon of ice cream. What's the use of trying? One day a close friend encouraged me to try hypnosis. I was skeptical. 'I've heard they get great results, she said. I could only hope.

My free evaluation was like a ray of sunshine. My consultant was caring and concerned and the office was professional and comfortable. The fee was much lower than I expected. Immediately after my first session my appetite diminished. I feel completely satisfied with small, healthy portions. My food choices changed next. Carrots are as appealing as potato chips used to be. I know I'll never, ever gain the weight back. Now that I'm thin and happy with my body, I can't think of a single reason to overeat. I used to feel sluggish by 9:00 a.m. I was so depressed even my hair drooped. Since hypnosis, I look and feel young, alive and vibrant. My skin is glowing. My hair is thick and shiny. I have tons of energy and I'm light on my feet. My family and friends all want to know how I did it because they want to be like me. The other day a co-worker said, 'I wish I could have even half your energy. That was the best compliment of all.

When I was fat I smoked skinny cigarettes to make me feel thin. Quitting smoking was a side benefit I hadn't expected. I breathe better, move better and enjoy more activities, like rollerblading. I recently went rock climbing. There's no way I could have done that before. I once hated walking in and out of plus size stores, but shopping for a size 10 is the most wonderful feeling in the world. I no longer worry about eating in public. When eyes are on me, I know they're thinking, 'Hey, she's got it together. My only regret is that I waited and suffered for months. You don't have to suffer another second. Call Positive Changes. You owe it to yourself.
