Weight LossSmoking CancellationBreakthrough Hypnosis

Greg Buckey from Dublin, OH




I'm Greg Buckey from Dublin, Ohio. I am an executive who has lost 47 pounds and 5 inches thanks to my program at Positive Changes Hypnosis. In the first week of my program I lost 3 pounds and by the end of the first month lost a total of 15 pounds! I hit my weight loss goal in 6 short months, and then, to my surprise I continued to lose weight! I lost 7 more pounds exceeding my original goal! So far I've lost a total of 54 pounds and I feel awesome!

Super-size Me….

Before Positive Changes, I was so embarrassed of how I looked. I would avoid the camera and anyone wanting to take pictures of me. When I did get in a group picture, I would hide in the back (or thought I was hiding) because I was so embarrassed and frustrated with my weight. I never looked at pictures of myself. I felt so uncomfortably large that it was difficult to walk. When I was younger I looked at myself completely differently and was happy with who was looking back at me in the mirror. As time passed I avoided mirrors unless I was getting ready for the day and had to watch myself shave.

I Couldn't Ignore Being Fat Anymore

Before I decided to come to Positive Changes I was overweight for years. I quit smoking in 1983 and my weight gain started. I reached my breaking point a couple of years ago( when my weight gain started); causing me health issues. I was borderline anemic and always felt like I couldn't get enough oxygen. Just walking caused me shortness of breath and I felt like everyone could hear me coming because of all the huffing and puffing. I could not ignore being fat any longer!

I Never Feel Deprived

Before I started my program at Positive Changes I had horrible eating habits. Not only where my choices with what I ate unhealthy, the super-size portions of food I was eating were horrible. For breakfast I'd eat salami and processed cheese. By 9:30 or 10 I'd be hungry again and start eating potato chips or some other unhealthy snack. If someone brought donuts to the office, I was the first in line. Lunch was always about eating way too much. One of my eating problems was portion control. I have learned to eat a lot less and I don't feel like I have to be a member of the "clean plate club". I can save my leftovers and eat them another time while being satisfied and not feeling deprived. Now, my snack craving is gone and nothing goes in to my mouth that I don't think about first. My food choices are nourishing and satisfying to me. I make sure that my food is healthy and balanced but my change is automatic and effortless. The process is really easy. I don't miss the way I used to eat. I have never felt deprived in any way.

The Olmstead's Story Caught My Eye

I tried losing weight with a low carb-diet but didn't lose much. I then gained whatever I lost back and I never attempted anymore diets after my failure. Then I saw the ads for Positive Changes in the newspaper and became engaged with all the success stories. There was one couple, the Olmstead's, who really caught my eye due to their success with the program. Their story was so compelling that I looked up the address for the Positive Changes office. For the next three months I found myself creating detours that drove me past Positive Changes every night coming home from the office. I had decided enough was enough.

I Was Committed To My Success

After I called and scheduled my free evaluation I was anxious and excited. My first impression was that the office was professional with a courteous staff. The evaluator explained the program in detail and was very easy to talk to. During the consultation, I felt no sales pressure from the evaluator. This program seemed too good to be true. I was having a hard time on my own without any success, so I was skeptical of this program at first I spoke with my evaluator again and decided to enroll at Positive Changes Hypnosis. The evaluator helped make my first appointment. I decided right then and there to commit to the program and stick with it. I'm glad I did! No doubt about that.

Any Skepticism I Had Is Gone

In my first week, I had already dropped 3 pounds! I started to realize "wow, this program really does work"! I was seeing results instantly and any skepticism that I had was gone. If you follow the program the way it's given to you, you can't help but get the results.

So Easy, It's Unbelievable

Shortly after I started the program, I noticed the changes in my behavior. After the first week I could see the immediate success! I quickly realized this program really does work. My habits changed rapidly and I have not returned to my old behaviors, both mentally and emotionally. This program has helped me stay positive and focused on my goals. I never imagined that losing weight and getting my life back could be this easy. It was incredible!

My Doctor Is Astounded

My doctor always told me that I needed to watch my weight. I remember during an annual physical my doctor reported that I gained three pounds that year. I shrugged my shoulders and thought "three pounds? That's no big deal". Then he pointed out in ten years that would be 30 more pounds. And as it turns out, he was right. I gained those 30 pounds and then some. When my doctor saw me after my weight loss he was astounded. My doctor is so impressed and happy about my weight loss he gave me a pat on the back. When I told him what I was doing he was amazed but happy to report that my blood pressure had gone down and my overall health has greatly improved.

No Weight Gained Even on Vacation

I know I will never gain that weight back. I don't crave any junk foods and when I get hungry I eat a healthy balanced meal. I always drink a bunch of water and I never have felt like I've been on a diet. This is my life now. My good eating habits have become such a routine for me that there is no reason for me to gain weight again. In fact, I just got back from a vacation and not only did I eat whatever I wanted but every morning I automatically woke up and did my exercise. I didn't gain a pound of weight while I was gone. I came back from vacation feeling great!

I Look at Myself in the Mirror Again

I am absolutely more confident and proud since losing the weight. Now I'm not afraid to look in the mirror and I feel more comfortable around other people. I am more confident at work and more focused. I feel I'm able to handle stressful situations more effectively.

My Family Used To Worry

My friends and family are amazed with my weight loss, my wife and daughter especially. They just rave about me. They used to worry about all the extra weight I was carrying and how it might affect me and my health. Now they don't have to worry anymore. At work, while I was in the process of losing weight, no one ever said a word to me. It was amusing to me that no one seemed to notice the weight loss when I was losing just a few pounds. Then all of a sudden one day everyone started saying "what is this"? Once you lose as much as I have people sit up and take notice. It feels great when the people around you actually notice the weight you have lost.

I Can't Believe Anyone Wouldn't Want To Do This

My weight loss was so beneficial to me and my overall good health. When you're carrying an extra 47 pounds, it's hard on your body. Being anemic on top of it, I was starving my organs of the oxygen they needed to function properly. I feel so much better now and I look better too. I would recommend Positive Changes to anyone and everyone. I can't believe someone wouldn't want to do this program. When you see the ads in the paper, make the call and schedule your consultation. I genuinely fell that the Positive Changes program is just that easy!

It's So Easy

I give Positive Changes 100% of the credit for my weight loss and improved lifestyle. If you're thinking of coming to Positive Changes, I can't tell you enough good things about this program, it's just so easy! If you follow the program the way you're supposed to and make up your mind that you're going to do it, you can definitely get the results you're looking for at Positive Changes Hypnosis. The Olmstead's got me here and I'm hoping I can get you here too!
