Success Stories

Hi, I'm Linda Owens. I live in Lindenhurst, New York with my husband and our two children. I'm a mortgage loan officer. I used to weigh in at over 300 lbs, but then I lost 150 lbs. in 10 months with Positive Changes! My dress size went from a 28 to a slender 12. The most important benefit I received from Positive Changes is an inner knowing that I'll never be heavy again. Never. Knowing what I know now, I would have paid triple the amount for this program. You can't put a price on how good I feel. My doctor is also delighted. He wanted to know where I had gone so he could go too. People often think I had my stomach stapled. I tell them not a chance! I lost my weight naturally with hypnosis. I'm grateful to Positive Changes. The entire team was supportive and encouraging, and they were personally interested in my results.

When I was overweight, I didn't know what it felt like to be hungry because I ate all day long. I'd eat in the car and then stop at the deli. I tried losing weight with one of the national diet chains, but I didn't enjoy the meetings and I didn't lose weight. I tried the high protein diet, tomato soup diet and all the fad diets. None of them worked. The last straw came over the summer, when I wanted to be active with my sons but couldn't. When they wanted to go swimming, I was afraid to be seen. I went to amusement parks but couldn't squeeze into the seats.

One day I saw a picture of a fat lady in the newspaper. I was appalled to realize it could have been me. Then I saw the after picture and thought, WOW! The story said the woman had lost her weight with hypnosis. I was a little afraid of the idea of hypnosis at first, but the article said I could go in for a free consultation. I could put it off no longer. I picked up the telephone and called Positive Changes. The free screening was reassuring. My consultant had done the program and he looked great, and he knew I could do it, too. I signed up and lost 150 lbs. in just 10 months!

I call hypnosis my calorie-free indulgence. I now find it easy to make healthy food choices and I no longer spend my evenings on the couch snacking. I can put Oreos in my sons' lunches without eating them all myself, and I made it through the holidays with ease. Instead of craving food, I now crave exercise' and compliments! I can run up and down the stairs with no problem, and I can work in my yard and weed my garden. I always wanted to be more active and accomplish more. At 150 pounds lighter, I can! I now have a hard time remembering the old me. I even spent an entire day in a bathing suit without a T-shirt to cover me up. This is the life I want and I'm never going back to the old me. The other day I lifted my youngest son. He weighs 50 lbs., and it shocked me to realize I used to carry three of him around on my back all day!

Positive Changes does more than help you lose weight. They give you the knowledge you need to lose weight and keep it off for life. Thank you, Positive Changes, for being there for me. When I think of all the years I struggled to lose weight, I can't help but recommended Positive Changes to others. If I can make just one person feel as good as I feel it will be worthwhile. So don't wait another minute or let yourself gain another pound, and for goodness sake don't start another diet until you at least investigate what hypnosis can do for you. Call Positive Changes. If you're like me, it will be a call that changes your life'¦forever!
