Success Stories

My name is Carol Hooper. I live in Virginia, where I do companion care for older adults. I was overweight nearly my entire life. I was a spectator watching life go by. I used to work hard at dieting. I wrote down every morsel that passed my lips and measured and weighed each ounce. Any crazy diet you can think of, I tried it. Then I shed 95 lbs. at Positive Changes--without dieting! Plus, I've kept my weight off for over 5 years. I've wasted my money on weight loss programs that didn't deliver, but Positive Changes delivered on their promises. The folks at Positive Changes had my best interest at heart. I felt it then, I know it now. The exciting part about Positive Changes is that my life no longer revolves around food. When I saw my doctor, she asked me how I lost my weight, and now she recommends Positive Changes to her other patients. Positive Changes was the smartest investment I ever made.

Everything revolved around food. I turned to food for comfort, and it was my support when I was sad, tired or happy. I could't control it--I spent my life living to eat. Carrying around an extra 95 lbs. is a lot of work, and I was always tired. One or two naps a day was my routine. I looked for excuses to stay home. I was hiding because my weight embarrassed me. I never joined athletic events. If we were at the beach and someone would mention volleyball, I'd hide. I'd tell a young mother, "I'll watch your baby, you go have fun." I was heavy, miserable and uncomfortable. I tried everything to lose my weight. I lost my weight once with medication, but I gained it all back plus 70 lbs. I suffered through pre-packaged food and chalky shakes. I counted, weighed, measured and starved. I've done all the weird diets, including the grapefruit, high-protein and low-fat, to name a few. Diets don't work.

I was desperate, but then I discovered Positive Changes on talk radio. They said I could have a free evaluation. I was impressed right off the bat, and the staff is friendly and caring. The evaluation was fun and informative. I expected a grueling sales pitch, but there was none. I signed up. Believe it or not, I saw some changes right after my screening. I couldn't wait to be hypnotized. There was no telling what changes I might make!

To be honest, I didn't lose my weight right away. I didn't mind, though, because my life was improving in astounding ways. Then, suddenly, my weight started dropping off me. Hypnosis put me back in control and I lost my weight without dieting, hunger, cravings or binges. No messing with diets, pills or pre-packaged food. Food is no longer an issue. I eat when I'm hungry and stop when I'm full. Honestly, it's that simple. I've exceeded my expectations. After shedding 95 lbs., my self-confidence soared. I feel great and my energy is high. I've maintained my success for over five years, and that's why I'm confident my weight loss is for life.

Thanks to hypnosis, I had the courage to start a new business. I have experienced abundance and prosperity ever since. I have the energy and confidence to be 100% successful. I know the next half of my life will be great. No dieting and no extra baggage. When I was overweight, I was mortified when people asked me if I was pregnant. I know that's never going to happen again. Every year my New Year's resolution was to lose weight. Not anymore! This year my resolutions included riding in a hot air balloon and learning to dance. There are no limits. I have a new, "can do" attitude and I'm living the life I've always dreamed of.

I'm extremely proud of my accomplishment. I can't take all the credit though. Hypnosis made my weight loss simple and straightforward. It's completely changed the way I think about food. I never feel deprived. If there's something I want, I eat it, but I think and eat like a naturally thin person. I recommend Positive Changes daily, to everyone. At first people say, "Hypnosis? I don't know." I tell them to take a good look at me. I know overweight hurts. I was there. But don't let past failures stand in the way of your happiness. Call Positive Changes. I'm living testimony and a five-year success story. Hypnosis works!
