Success Stories

My name is Pam Payne, and I'm a retired court reporter from the Isle of Palms, South Carolina. I used to believe that, at my age, I should give up trying to lose weight. Then I called Positive Changes and lost 38 lbs. in only 5 months. I went from a plump size 16 to a slender 10 and dropped an amazing 9 inches from my hips. My weight loss was safe and easy, and the fee was reasonable. I spent that much on diet cola alone. I save a lot of money by not buying diet soda, candy, cookies and chips, and I no longer patronize fast food restaurants. I just had my yearly physical. My blood pressure and cholesterol are in great shape, and my doctor was amazed and delighted with my weight loss. My energy level is way up. I didn't feel like doing anything when I was overweight, but now I can keep up with my 6 grandchildren. People ask me if I'm asleep during hypnosis. I tell them no, I'm totally relaxed during my sessions, but I am always aware of what's going on. It's a wonderful sensation! This is the most relaxing thing I have ever done.

I was overweight for 10 years before coming to Positive Changes. I'd been thin all my life, and was embarrassed by my new appearance; I couldn't get used to being overweight. Losing weight was my daily struggle. I would lose a little weight but would always gain it back. I craved and felt deprived. Then I would go through a phase of eating ice cream every day to make up for it. My meals consisted of good Southern cooking' rice, potatoes and deep-fried chicken' and my portions were super-sized. I felt out of control of my eating and my life.

I liked that the Positive Changes program would help me make the changes myself. At this point, I was ready for permanent weight loss, and I felt I could succeed at losing weight with hypnosis. I noticed a change in my behavior at once. I'm relaxed and able to handle any situation with ease. Hypnosis eliminated my snacking, cravings and poor eating habits, and I find myself not wanting foods that aren't good for me. Being thin feels better than any food could taste. When my husband wanted hot dogs, I couldn't even eat mine. That proves the Positive Changes program is working for me.

People who don't know me don't believe I lost a lot of weight, because I don't have sagging skin. In fact, my skin is smoother and softer than ever before. I look great! My friends are envious of me, and my family comments on how great I look. My husband is delighted. He always supported me when I was overweight, but now I love it when he tells me how good I look. When I was overweight, I could find plenty of time to do nothing. I make better use of my time now. I find time for myself; time to relax and to exercise. Best of all, I have the energy to exercise. It's a relief to know I can control any aspect of my life with ease.

I feel as if I have a new life. Losing weight made me confident about my appearance, my attitude, and myself. I am able to handle stress. I'm more comfortable in social situations and more assured about myself and how I look. I was to the point where I dreaded finding something to wear and hated to go shopping. Now I love it. I even love the way I look in a bathing suit, and not many women can say that. I'm ecstatic with my results. I finally did it thanks to Positive Changes. This is a wonderful program and it has changed my life!
