Success Stories

Hi, my name is Phil Farris and I'm from Schaumburg, Illinois. Less than 6 months after joining Positive Changes, I'd shed 24 lbs. and added nearly 10 lbs. of solid muscle. I found out hypnosis is relaxing and fun!

"Daddy, you're fat!" The words cut me like a razor because my seven-year-old daughter, Meghan, had spoken them. I tried to joke it away. "What do you mean fat?" Her simple response exposed the ugly truth. "Right here," she said, poking her finger into the love handle that bulged over the waist of my pants. She was right. My weight had ballooned to over 200 lbs. Even my fat clothes were tight and uncomfortable. To make matters worse, both my knees had developed tendonitis, which limited the type of aerobic training I could do. In the past, I'd always relied on playing sports to keep my weight in check. If I ate too much one week, I'd simply increase my exercise to make up for my poor food choices. When I no longer had that option, I quickly began losing the battle of the bulge.

After nearly 6 months of half-hearted and failed attempts at dieting, I finally decided I needed to make a change in my life. The problem was, I didn't know how. That's when I decided to use hypnosis. The changes I made were easy and subtle. My desire for fast food vanished and exercise became more enjoyable. I found myself drinking more water. As my habit changes increased, my fat simply dropped away. My waist is now the same size as the day I graduated high school over 30 years ago. That's a full 5-inch reduction, and it was as easy as taking a breath of fresh air. My tendonitis disappeared, allowing me to again actively participate in tennis, basketball and running. I'm amazed at how good it feels to run and move without the added burden of all the weight I was carrying. Thanks to hypnosis, I now have the healthy lifestyle that will allow me to be fit for life!
