Success Stories

My name is Aimee King. I've lived in Columbia, SC all my life. When I was overweight, my life was a mess. Every day I would think about how stressful my life had become and wonder how much more weight the next month would bring. Thanks to Positive Changes, I turned my life around and lost 50 lbs. in 5 months! Positive Changes is the best thing I've ever done for myself. I have less stress and I'm happy and optimistic. If I'd known losing weight and changing my behaviors would be this easy, I would have used hypnosis a long time ago. I even saved so much money from not buying junk food, I was able to go out and buy an expensive new car. I use my junk food allowance each month for the car payment. My doctor was also impressed with my weight loss and thought it was fantastic.

For two years I was held prisoner by my weight. I was depressed, miserable and embarrassed. I always felt self-conscious, like I wasn't good enough for anybody. I did the things typical people do. I was tired when I got home, but I was so stressed I could barely relax. Hanging out on the couch with a snack was my down time. After dinner, I'd snack handful by handful until I went to bed. I was steadily climbing up the scales and heading nowhere fast. No one ever saw my eating habits during the day. Even my boyfriend had no idea my life was in such turmoil. My weight destroyed our relationship. One night he told me he couldn't even look at me anymore, and then he was gone. I was fat and alone. I became depressed and the cycle continued. I had no idea how I was going to get my life back. Then my mom told me about Positive Changes. At first, I cringed at the thought of hypnosis. I felt like I'd be giving up control and I didn't want to do that. However, after watching Positive Changes clients for a while and seeing the changes they were making, I decided to try it. After trying a session, I fell in love. Hypnosis is relaxation! I left that evening feeling pleasantly surprised and confident. For the first time in over a year, I was happy. From that moment on, I began reclaiming my life.

I noticed changes right away. I slept better that night. My food choices were healthier, but I didn't feel deprived like when I was on a diet. I wasn't snacking at night or drinking as much soda. I started drinking water' before, water was only something to swim in. I began to feel great about myself even before I lost my weight. I was more positive. My emotions were no longer in control...I was! I felt more confident every day. I lost about 10 lbs. a month and can now fit into a size 6. I now do so many things differently without even thinking about them. Before, my life centered around what I was going to eat, how guilty I felt about eating it, and the fact that I wasn't able to stop eating unhealthy foods. Now I eat only if I am hungry. There are no off-limits foods, and I enjoy healthy food as much as I used to enjoy junk food. I've never slept so well in my life and I wake up motivated. I have a natural glow. I have the energy to stay on the go for 18 hours out of 24, and I even started exercising. If I want to relax and clear my head, I go for a quick walk.

My friends and family saw positive changes right away and are absolutely astonished with the results. People tell me I look better than ever. I sometimes run into people I haven't seen in a while and they don't even know who I am. I waited so long to find a program that worked for me, and I wish I could tell every person who wants to lose weight about Positive Changes. Why suffer from being overweight when you could be at your natural and ideal weight in a just a few short months? I've kept my weight off for almost a year now, and I can definitely say there's no going back to my old ways. Positive Changes has shown me the way to reclaim my life. It's so easy - you can do it too! When the only thing you have to lose is weight, why put if off any longer?
