Success Stories

My name is Sherrie Wood and I'm from Virginia Beach, Virginia. I am a retired realtor and a widow with a daughter and a granddaughter. I used to be overweight and stressed. I thought my dreams of weight loss were hopeless. Then I went to Positive Changes and lost 42 lbs.! I could barely squeeze into a tight size 20 but now I wear a slim 10. Even my feet lost weight. Best of all, I've kept my weight off. I feel vibrant. I know I'll never have a weight problem again, and it feels so good to be free of my weight. The fee for the program was reasonable' you'd pay more for diet pills you have to order again 30 days later. My doctor says I look wonderful. He even sent me a note saying how outstanding my health is. My blood pressure is normal and my cholesterol is at an incredible level for my age. My doctor still marvels that, after 5 years, my weight hasn't come back.

I was overweight for 5 long years. I was off the scale on the doctor's weight chart and felt my weight had gone too far and nothing could be done. I was past the point of caring about my looks. I didn't believe in fad diets or pills, but I got so desperate I even tried the cabbage-soup diet. Of course, it didn't work. I was filled with negativity. I don't think anyone can be positive when they are as overweight as I was! I was tired all the time and had difficulty breathing. I didn't want to do anything because I was embarrassed by my weight. It was awful. I knew I needed help. That's when I heard about Positive Changes on a local radio show. When I walked into Positive Changes for my free evaluation, a warm feeling came over me. The staff really wanted to help me. I'd finally found the weight-loss solution for me.

I noticed changes in my behavior my first month with Positive Changes. I now drink plenty of water every day. I don't deprive myself of anything, but I only eat when I'm truly hungry and I'm satisfied with smaller portions. I absolutely love eating healthy foods. I savor my meals instead of rushing through them. I used to be addicted to cola and chocolate, but hypnosis helped me eliminate my cravings. I felt like an ice cube melting away. My former negativity dissolved with my weight, and I'm back to the positive person I used to be. I'm content with myself. I have more zip and zest, and a natural energy high. I do floor exercises and take ballroom dancing twice a week. I couldn't have waddled onto the floor at 191 lbs. Hypnosis makes it easy to stay motivated.

My overweight past feels like a dream. I see pictures of myself and wonder how I could have done that to myself. I can't imagine going back to a size 20. I just came back from a cruise, and it felt great to go to dinner in a beautiful cocktail dress instead of a muumuu. My family sees the difference in me. They see how much weight I lost, how energetic I am, and even the improvement in my skin from all the water I drink. My granddaughter is 19 and she keeps telling me how great I look. Coming from a teenager, that means a lot! I tell everyone I know about Positive Changes. I love it when people say, 'You never had a weight problem. You don't know how hard it is. Then I tell them how I lost weight with Positive Changes. It's such a nice place to go. I encourage you to do it for yourself. If you live with excessive weight and hopelessness like I used to, don't put yourself through that any more. Call Positive Changes. It could be the call that changes your life!
