Success Stories

My name is Emily Blanck and I live in Moraga, California. I' m a fundraiser and lobbyist. I lost 22 pounds and dropped 2 dress sizes in 3 easy months. I even lost weight during the holiday season, and I'm now easily maintaining my slim new weight. I'm convinced that my weight loss is permanent. Once you've read my story, you'll understand why. Everything that follows is true and factual. It happened to me.

It's hard to admit now, but I once had no control over my appetite. If I started on anything with chocolate, I'd eat it all. When I got home from work, I'd eat right up to midnight when I went to bed. I always overate because I no longer could tell when I was full. One time I was making cookies to send to my daughter at camp but ended up eating the entire batch. Now that's out of control!

I lost and regained the same 20 pounds over and over my entire life. I tried Weight Watchers twice, but as soon as I stopped, the weight came back. I tried a crazy Fat Flush diet where I drank 64 ounces of cranberry juice a day and ate almost nothing. No foods could be raw, so I was cooking 3 meals a day. Who has that kind of time? Again, I gained the weight right back.

These diets couldn't be maintained for life, so they were not helpful. I was ready for a different approach so I called Positive Changes. I went in for the free evaluation, signed up, followed the program, and I reached my goal weight. It was that easy!

Within the first week of joining Positive Changes, I noticed differences in my behavior and responses to food. I was floored! I kept telling my husband, 'Wow, I don't want to eat!' Now I know what full feels like and automatically stop eating.

I have allergies, so I can't eat a lot of the holiday foods other people enjoy. Every year my boss buys me special potato chips that are safe for me. I would eat and eat on those chips and gain more weight. They used to be my favorite but now, since hypnosis, I don't want them. While everyone else is snacking all day, I drink water and feel satisfied.

So you see, with Positive Changes there is no crazy diet plan to follow. It's all about changing eating habits, and that's what happened for me. Foods I used to crave, even my mom's holiday cookies, I can eat one and be satisfied—not the entire batch! I used to joke about how chocolate would call my name. Not anymore! I now have complete control. Hypnosis has given me a sense of freedom I thought I'd never see again.

I think most people already know what to do to lose weight. They just can't seem to do it on their own. Positive Changes helped me internalize and make permanent the habits and behaviors to keep me slim for life. Positive Changes taught me that it's not about what you know; it's about what you apply. I have followed my program and here I am 22 lb s lighter and keeping it off!

The best part about Positive Changes is that all I had to do was sit back, relax and listen. I' m an intense person, so it was nice to feel my body finally relax.

Hypnosis is very freeing. It allows me to focus on my thoughts and goals. Once my subconscious thoughts changed, results happened quickly and naturally.

Using hypnosis made losing weight easier than I ever dreamed possible. Honestly, I didn't have to consciously do anything! I followed the program and results happened. One of the changes I noticed immediately was I started drinking water. I hated water before, but I found myself drinking it all the time and enjoying it. A mazing!

Since joining Positive Changes, I'v e had so many unexpected benefits . I've moved from slow walking to more vigorous exercise like Jazzercise. I used to fill my head with all sorts of negative self-talk that was affecting my health. I could find the worst case scenario in any situation. With Positive Changes, I was trained to think positive thoughts. Any time I'd start to think negatively, I would stop myself and change the thought to a positive.

I also no longer beat myself up about food choices . I used to condemn myself if I ate something unhealthy and then eat more because I felt bad about myself. I' ve overcome that habit and all that energy is now used in healthy endeavors. I sleep better and I'm a happier, more relaxed person.

I feel confident recommending Positive Changes to anyone. My friends , one of whom is a doctor, were impressed when they saw the changes I made. They both joined and started seeing results right away!

Positive Changes is a wonderful program. The staff is supportive and kind, and that meant a lot to me. They really mean the positive in Positive Changes. It's genuine support to help you achieve your goals!
