Success Stories

My name is Paula Jo Owens. I live with my husband and our two children in Sioux City, Iowa, where I'm an office manager. My eating habits had spun out of control and my attempts at dieting were disastrous. I felt lousy. I'd come home from work and drop on the couch to watch TV. I barely had enough energy to fix dinner. Then I went to Positive Changes and lost 55 lbs. in 6 months without diets, pills, packaged foods or expensive herbs. My dress size went from an 18 to a slender 10. Now I come home from work and take my kids for long walks. That quality time with my children is more precious to me than gold. I'm also saving tons of money on my grocery bill. I hadn't realized what a fortune I'd been spending on cola, junk food and fast food, but I estimate I'm saving at least $50 a week. Now, that makes hypnosis a very smart investment!

I remember feeling so desperate, I could barely breathe. Tears of frustration stung my eyes. I was sitting on the edge of my bed, tugging on a pair of jeans. I couldn't even get them past my thighs. But that wasn't the worst of it. They weren't my jeans, they were my husband's! I knew my weight had been steadily climbing for the past 3 years, but I'd had no idea how much. My daily routine included fast food for breakfast and lunch. I'd snack all day and stop for a candy bar and cola on my way home from work. My average supper was two plates full of food. I was also suffering emotionally. I'd lost all respect for myself and, by the time of the 'jeans incident,' I'd given up on dieting. Nothing worked. My weight would always shoot right back up plus more.

As I sat on the bed, tears streaming down my cheeks, I remembered that a close friend had told me amazing stories about people who lost weight and kicked their smoking habits at Positive Changes. She said I could go in for a free evaluation, so I gave them a call. The office was surprisingly professional--something like a doctor's office, but not so clinical. I saw happy people who were thrilled by how hypnosis had changed their lives. I thought, Hey, this is for real. Hypnosis actually works. Even the fee was surprisingly low. I was so impressed, I decided right then that hypnosis was the solution to my weight problem. Right after my first hypnosis session, I noticed a change in my eating habits. I immediately stopped drinking cola--water and fruit juice are far more satisfying to me. Hypnosis helped me eliminate my food cravings and bad eating habits.

There's no comparison to where I was before. When I first came to Positive Changes, I had no idea there would be so many side benefits. I'm a happier person. I'm calm and relaxed, and my energy level is through the roof. My body feels strong and willowy. I feel physically comfortable again and my pants no longer feel like they're cutting me in two. I did all this without ever feeling deprived and with no negative side effects. Before hypnosis, I felt like an "it" because nobody paid attention to me. People notice me now. I never dreamed I'd get here. I feel in control, and it's comforting to know I'll never go out of control like that again. I recommend Positive Changes every day because I've experienced success firsthand. Hypnosis came through for me when all else failed. Thanks to Positive Changes, I'm wearing my own jeans in a slim size 10. I waited and suffered for months--until I couldn't even fit into my husband's jeans! Don't let that happen to you. Call Positive Changes to schedule your free evaluation. Hypnosis changed my life and it can do the same for you.
