I've gone down 1 ½ clothing sizes and I'm on my way to my next set of jeans. I'd always been kind of big, but I've really struggled with my weight for the last six years. In 2001 I started to get really heavy and I lost it and then gained it back over the last couple of years. I couldn't wear any of my clothes and I just got bigger and bigger. It was like that scene in Willy Wonka where the girl turns into a giant blueberry except that I wasn't blue and this was real life.

I've tried lots of things to lose weight, I've done The Firm workout, but I didn't stick with it. I did the low carb diet and I hated everything. I tried Slim Fast and that just made me crave sugar. I did LA Weight Loss because my parents coerced me into it and I gained weight to defy them. I did the South Beach Diet, but it involved a lot of cooking and a lot of vegetables, so that didn't work out so well.

I joined a gym, but found out that it doesn't really help if you don't go. I tried to work out with friends, but you can't work out with friends when they don't go. I even did Dexatrim for about a week. This, of course, was the week that they found out that ephedrine was burning holes in people's hearts. No matter what, every time that I tried something new I would start for a while, get tired of it or stop seeing results, and go back to my old ways. I would completely fall off the wagon and gain it all back.

Sometimes I felt out of control. If I got upset or nervous, the first thing I thought about was going to get food. It wasn't a snack cake; it was a box of snack cakes. It wasn't a candy bar; it was a bag of candy bars. It felt terrible and felt sick all the time. I was a Mopey McMoperton and I used to sit around and feel sorry for myself with my frosted donuts. I used to have a bad day and I'd say "Forget it; I'm going to buy every box of cookies that I can find and stuff my face until I feel better", which made me feel guilty and even more fat.

I didn't really have concerns about hypnosis because I had a teacher in college that used to do it and told us about it. I decided to call A New Day Hypnosis after I saw a testimonial on Craigslist. When I met with Laura she was really easy to talk to. I felt comfortable and it seemed like she wanted to help me. I didn't feel pressured by her and I respected her opinions about my situation.

I've had anxiety problems in the past and during the first week I noticed that I was a lot more relaxed about things and I started sleeping better. I noticed in the first week that I was drinking a lot more water and I noticed pretty soon after that I had more confidence about not eating sweets. My stress levels became a lot lower.

I let go of my defeatist attitude and now if I get frustrated and upset, I try and identify what's making me upset and see if I can change it. If I can't change it, I just keep on going. It's nice to be able to go to the grocery store and see a dozen cinnamon rolls on sale without wanting to take them home. I'm happier and it's easier to laugh. I don't spend all my time feeling sorry for myself. I'm also running a lot and my feet don't hurt. The first time that I ran the mile it took me 16 minutes and 38 seconds and the other day I was able to run it in 10 minutes 37 seconds! I met up with a friend recently who noticed my weight loss and she was shocked that I'd been running without being chased.

I feel more in control now. Halloween has always been the hardest holiday for me and this year I didn't eat any Halloween candy even when I handing candy out to kids. I didn't want it and that was crazy for me. Friends and family notice that I'm getting thinner and I have a better attitude. I haven't worked in the last month and normally that would cause me to have a tailspin. I notice that I don't feel sorry for myself anymore and I'm being more productive. People have mentioned that I'm a lot more calm and relaxed. I'm just doing what I want to do and I'm much more confident about things. It's so refreshing for me. Now I know what I want and I'm going out there and getting it.

I always feel better after my sessions and it's a good boost for me. It has helped me gain a better perspective on things and I feel more in control and much more hopeful. I'm confident that I'll do better this time because I've learned a lot and faced facts. I can't just lie around waiting for the pounds to melt off. I've figured out a way to eat that will get my body what it needs without making me absolutely miserable. I won't try to cut out food groups from my diet because that's not permanent. I'm a lot more realistic about what I am willing to do for the long term and that makes me feel good.

I've struggled with my eating behaviors and had issues with my weight since high school. I never felt like I fit the ideal mold of beauty and tried different diets over the years that never worked. I'm not a good dieter and most of the time diets usually worked in the reverse way for me and I ended up gaining weight. Sometimes it would work for a little while, but I could never be consistent, so I didn't get long term results. I felt like I was going crazy because I always knew that I meant to do certain things, but no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't control my eating habits.

My husband was interested in stopping smoking. We'd both had some reservations about using hypnosis, but after we read an interview with Laura on austinist.com, we had all of our questions answered and it was easy to decide to try it. My husband met with Laura and was able to quit smoking after his first session. After I'd seen my husband's success, I decided to try it for myself.

When I first met with Laura, I was frustrated with where I was in terms of my eating habits and attitude. I had been at a lull with my exercise, but after my session I was able to get up and go with the motivation to work out. It was there in my mind and I would just go and do it.

Making changes in my behavior hasn't been too difficult. In restaurants, I used to feel like it was a free pass. Now, I make the decision not to order an appetizer and not eat all the chips on the table. I don't have to finish all of my meal, either. I can take half of it home and be healthy. I'd always known that it was important to drink water; I just couldn't ever do it before, now I've been drinking water a lot more often.

It's been really nice looking forward to the relaxation of my sessions to unwind. I've become conscious of my actions as I'm going through the day. It's more comfortable because it's not this thing that's happening to me, it's something that I'm doing for myself. My biggest benefit has been that feeling that I get to choose. I can control how I live my life and I feel more confident, so I would definitely recommend A New Day Hypnosis to anyone who wants to create a healthier lifestyle. I know that my behaviors are my choice and the more that I practice this lifestyle, the more natural my habits become.

I have struggled with my weight for about nineteen years and my weight has always been an ever-present thought in my mind. I've been coming to Laura for about a month and have gone down a clothing size so far.

I learned about Laura through craigslist.com and I saw that she worked with people who wanted to promote a healthy lifestyle, so I thought that it sounded like the approach that I needed. I had heard about hypnosis before and couldn't figure out how it worked, so I decided to just try it out for myself.

I started to notice changes after my first session. I started eating slower and drinking more water. My weight loss has been much easier than I thought it would because I'm not fighting with myself anymore. I felt like there was a part of me that I couldn't control or fix. It seems like the part of me that was always fighting the good behaviors just quit. It's become easier and I don't feel like I need to talk myself into it, it's just a part of me now.

Because of my new lifestyle, I am now able to work out longer and I can see my muscles and I feel stronger. Now, I find myself saying, "Yes, you can wake up and work out, "You can eat right," "You don't have to go out to lunch everyday." I feel in control now and it's so good. I've never been able to work out consistently for this long. If I missed a workout in the past, I would think "Good, I get a break". Now, if I miss my workout day, I feel really annoyed and notice that something is missing.

I was addicted to diet soda and I used to drink two individual sized bottles every day. Last Monday, someone at work bought me a small bottle of Diet Dr. Pepper and it took me the whole week to finish it! I eat a lot less sugar and when I want something sweet I'll have a Hershey's kiss instead of a Snicker's bar. When I'm hungry, I make the healthiest choice for me, carrots and celery instead of popcorn and chips. It makes me feel really proud.

I feel more confident now. When I'm walking around, I don't tug on my clothes and worry the way that I used to. I'm focused on what I need to get done for the day. When I hear people laughing, I know that they aren't laughing at me. My husband said to me recently "I know you've always been beautiful, but now you are SO beautiful." Also, my sister-in-law has been trying to slim down and I was able to give her some of the tips that I'd learned from Laura.

I have peace of mind and I finally feel live I've got it. All the other things I've tried, Weight Watchers, Phen Phen, Dr. Phil, Body For Life, Dexatrim, they all left something out. I've been able to just get the last bit of tweaking. I believe that these changes and my weight loss will be permanent because I'm doing it myself; no one else is doing it for me.

I've struggled with weight issues for the last ten years. It was a constant waste of inner turmoil. I always felt like I couldn't get on top of it, I couldn't have any control over it, and that the food had power over me. I've tried Jenny Craig, Weight Watchers, Nutrisystem, starvation, Adkins, and calorie reduction. I always had the typical results; I had short term success and then gained the weight back and more. I was always telling myself that it was mind over matter and I felt like I was hanging on by my fingernails. It was a constant struggle for me.

I felt completely out of control. I would stop for fast food two or three times a day. My car would automatically turn into the drive through even when I said that I wouldn't. It had nothing to do with hunger; I would eat when I was full and then pass that point. I was trying to fill something that could never be filled and now I realize that I had been suppressing so many things from myself. My behavior had become nightmarish. My lifestyle was so unhealthy that I was afraid I would die of a stroke. The last couple of years were the worst point of my life.

I learned about A New Day Hypnosis when I did a google search. When I met with Laura, she was easy to talk to and really understood what I was trying to do. After the first session, I felt a boost in positive feelings and noticed some changes in my behavior. I felt a lot calmer and started to want better foods. It's been one of the easiest things that I ever did. It requires effort and attention, but my mind has changed and that's the biggest difference. I have more energy and want to exercise more. I'm a more positive person and I don't freak out all the time anymore. I feel capable and on top of things now and I have much more endurance with my exercise.

I feel so much more in control now. I make better choices and I feel better about who I am. I'm not being negative about myself and my inner voice is much more confident. I know that I can do anything that I want and that understanding has expanded past the food and into other things in my life. Smaller portions satisfy me because I've started to really focus on the food itself. Healthy food in particular has become a focus in my life. I have cravings, but now they are for healthy foods and that's been a total change for me.

This has been such a bigger experience for me that I'd ever imagined. I came here for a particular reason and it turned into a life changing event for me. My husband has noticed the difference in my attitude and the way that I think about my life now. All the doors have opened up for me and he acknowledges that I've been able to learn something new at 50. The people who work around me can tell the difference because the guys who I get lunches for are getting Whole Foods now instead of Jack in the Box. I have an internal confidence and I don't need approval from people to make me feel good. This was the push that my brain needed to talk myself into doing all the things that I can do. It opened the door to change for me that I didn't know that I had shut.

The biggest thing for me is realizing that I'm really good at ignoring things that need attention in my life. Throughout my life, when things got unpleasant, I've said, "Well, I'm just gonna shut that door and not think about it". I've realized that I can't ignore things forever and that eventually my mind will force me to deal with them. Your brain can either help you or hurt you and I know now that if I don't deal with things, my brain will do really weird things to compensate and I'll end up eating fast food and covering myself with a layer of fat. You have to figure out what the issues are in your life and deal with them.

I know that I'd been getting my self esteem through work. My life was completely out of balance and I found myself saying that family was everything, but then spending all of my time and energy at work. The weight gain was indicative of something that I wasn't facing up to or dealing with. Now I can move in the direction that I want to. The experience has let me know that I have what it takes to continue to do the work that I need to stay healthy. I've recommended this to others and I know that it depends on the person and a belief in the power of their mind.

Laura has provided so much more than what I expected. I came here predicting very little and thought I would get some suggestions that would be pretty generic. Instead, she figured out the issues with me and we worked on them. Despite my attempts to block it, Laura tends to poke at things until they come around. If the person wants to do this and understands what the mind can do and is willing to work at it, Laura has the tool that they need. It has been life changing. Every time I go home I cry because she's opened so many doors for me. I see things in me and have learned things about myself that I never thought I was going to learn. It's not what I expected. It's been life changing.

I've struggled with my weight all my life, but specifically since I started working in the last ten years. It kept going up and up, but never went down. I tried pretty much everything; I did Weight Watchers and lost some weight, but ultimately didn't sustain the weight loss. I tried Jenny Craig for two months and it was short lived because I was always thinking about food and obsessing over it. I tried Adkins and lost a little weight and then gained it all back. I found that I had to distract myself to not think about food and eventually lost motivation and just stopped. I felt like food was controlling me. I ate out of stress and would buy a bag of peppermint patties and they wouldn't last the day at my office.

I heard about A New Day Hypnosis through citysearch.com. My mom had used hypnosis for weight loss and had success, so I was motivated to try it. I started to notice changes in my behavior right away; I gave up the sweets at night, which had always been my biggest downfall. In college, I was playing sports and would skip meals and eat sweets instead; I would cut out the chicken and green beans and eat ice cream for dinner. Now that the issue with sweets is cured it feels so weird to me. It's crazy to me because it's been I'd had this problem for 30 years and now it's just gone. I feel more in control now and it's easy for me to avoid sweets.

This process has been very easy, I don't have the cravings and I don't think about it. My mind isn't constantly focused on where my next meal is coming from. I'm exercising a lot more consistently and that's been great. I've slowly increased my cardio and I can see the improvement in my endurance. I'm also doing much better with food at restaurants, which had also been a problem for me. Now I'll take half of it home and make two meals out of my dinner. I've completely eliminated stress eating and I don't have to eat sweets to reward myself. Instead, I catch up on my magazines at the gym as my reward for my hard work.

I feel more confident because I can see the change in the way my clothes fit and increasing my cardio workout. My mother and husband have both commented that my jeans are fitting differently. I can see my progress and feel like my whole life is in control. I know that these changes and my weight loss are permanent because I don't have to think about anymore, I just do it. I know that there's no reason why I can't sustain this and I would recommend A New Day hypnosis to anyone who wants a healthier lifestyle because I've found a lot of success with it.

I've struggled with my weight for almost eleven years and it's been really frustrating. I was having a lot of difficulty with anxiety, which was affecting my weight. I felt really out of control. When I'm anxious, I don't eat right and I get very uptight and I don't sleep well. I'm cranky with my kids and I don't get good sleep. I felt shaky and use food to calm me down. I would have a snack for a meal and an hour later I was snacking again. I thought I might break down and start crying or beat my head against the wall or something, so it was a little scary for me.

At this point in my life, I've tried harder than I ever had before to control my weight and I just couldn't do it. I tried lots of eating plans and I would lose a little bit and then quit losing weight and stop doing the plan. I also did massive amounts of exercise, but that didn't really help either.

I heard about A New Day Hypnosis on yahoo.com. It took me a month to pick up the phone and schedule my appointment. I wasn't sure what to expect because hypnosis was an unknown for me. I was afraid that I was going to be brought back to childhood or do something strange.

I noticed changes after the first time I met with Laura. I immediately felt a lot calmer. It's been a lot easier for me to stick with a healthy eating plan. I'm better able to control anxiety and I'm handling it more healthfully. When other people around me are upset I'm able to stay calm and I don't take on negative energy or stress myself out. My husband gets anxious sometimes and I just tell him to calm down and I don't buy into the drama. If he gets upset, I stand up for myself without getting emotional.

I'm not overeating anymore. We went to Fresh Choice the other day and even my kids had more to eat than I did. I'm eating more regular meals. If I do have a snack, I'm satisfied with a little bit and I'm able to stop myself. If I'm in the middle of an unhealthy behavior I just stop to regroup because I don't have the desire to do it anymore. My mom and my kids have noticed a change in my behaviors and my mom and husband said that I looked smaller.

I feel more confident and don't compare myself negatively to others all the time. My biggest benefit has been feeling more focused on what I want and not having the anxiety about things. I can be happy now and if I feel I'm getting stressed out, I have tools that will work for me for the first time in a very long time.

I believe that these changes and my healthy lifestyle will be permanent. I've learned how to listen to myself and it's helped me to calm down and take a more realistic view. I put my attention on what I want to happen instead of worrying. I've already recommended Laura to friends who want a healthy lifestyle because she's great. I feel like hypnosis is a really valuable tool for me. I've had a lot of people comment on the change in me; I'm able to calm myself down when I'm starting to feel stressed and I just keep going.

I've struggled with my weight my entire life. It was like I was on a roller coaster; I was constantly getting on or off a diet. It was horrible because I've always been in a state of overindulgence or deprivation. I talked ugly to myself and beat myself down. My biggest problem has always been overeating. I thought that food would make me feel better, but it was just a temporary solution for my problems.

I've attempted to change my eating habits in lots of different ways. I've tried every diet under the sun, artificial sweeteners, and diet pills. I even tried hypnosis in the past with a creepy guy, but it didn't work that well. I did the Opti-fast liquid diet twice and lost a lot of weight, but gained it right back when it was over. I can't even count how many times I've done Weight Watchers. I felt out of control and no matter what I did, I never really mastered my weight problem. My friend Tommy recommended A New Day Hypnosis to me when he was able to stop smoking with their help and he made me a believer.

I noticed changes immediately. I felt positive and began to believe that making this change was possible. It was an evolution that was getting to the real issues instead of just putting a band aid on things the way that I'd done in the past. It's been very easy because Laura is easy to talk to and her methodology gets to the heart of the problem. She doesn't preach or tell you what to do. She's good at getting me to say things that I didn't know that I was thinking or feeling and I've come to a lot of self-realizations through this process. I like the way that she remembers things about me, a lot of times when you go to the doctor, they don't have a clue what they did the last time, but Laura always makes me feel like I'm important to her.

I feel like I have a support structure that I can rely on forever. I can exercise control because I'm more self-aware, I have a little voice in my head that reminds me of what I need to be doing every day. When I see myself creeping back into bad habits, I'll listen to my sessions and change the way that I feel about things. The biggest thing for me has been recognizing my behaviors and having a dialogue about it.

With hypnosis, it's like the little secret in my back pocket. Before I eat, I ask myself if I'm really hungry. When I go to a restaurant, I almost always put half of the food in a to-go box before I have the first bite because I'm aware of what I'm doing now. My body has become my friend and not my enemy. People have commented that I've calmed down and seem a lot happier. I feel more confident and know that I have control now.

My biggest benefit has been that I've been able to work on issues that I wouldn't do anything about if I were on my own. It's been really satisfying to actually intellectualize what's going on and come up with a solution. When it comes to eating habits, it's a very complicated thing because you've got to eat every day. I know that I'm done with going up and down and I'm ready to age well and be a healthy old person who has fun.

I've recommended A New Day Hypnosis to lots of people because it's a good process, Laura cares about what she's doing and it shows. She really helps people get to the root of their problems instead of giving a band-aid and that has been invaluable to me.

I have always struggled with my weight and spent a large part of my life being depressed and thinking way too much food. I've been on so many food plans that I was able to know, without consulting anything, exactly how many calories I had consumed every day. Teenagers have better things to do with their time and it wasn't a fun way to spend my adolescence. When I wasn't compulsively counting calories, I would wipe it all from my brain and never think in any way shape or form about food or exercise, which was also not healthy.

As far as diet programs go, you name it, I've done it. I did the Scarsdale for four months and I've tried every single fad diet that exists. I even bought Susan Powter's book back in the 80's when it came out. I've exercised and paid attention to what I ate. I even did The Zone a couple of years ago and felt like I needed a slide rule to eat lunch; that made me feel more nervous. I was thinking about food all the time and I don't want to think about food that hard. I lost weight, but I'm sure that at least five pounds was due to energy expended in freaking out that I had my food ratios wrong. In everything that I tried, I would lose weight, but was never able to sustain it. I felt out of control because I wasn't progressing and felt like I was just stuck.

I heard about A New Day Hypnosis when I saw a flyer at the Wheatsville Co-op and decided to call. This has been so much easier than anything else that I've tried. I started to notice changes in my outlook almost immediately. I had a plan and I became more conscious about trying to get to bed earlier so that I could get up and exercise. I really like having these tools and a sense of control. This process has been easy for me because I let the information seep into my brain, so it isn't much of a challenge. I never felt tense or nervous about it and it didn't require any effort on my part. I'm getting better sleep and I see progress, which gives me a greater sense of control.

I feel more confident because now I know that I can do it. My biggest benefit has been learning how to be patient with my body because this process isn't magic and it doesn't happen right away. When I was able to let go of that belief, it became a lot easier not to get fed up, or say "why bother".

I feel confident with everything that I've learned that I have tools to keep me on the right path. I've gone down around two clothing sizes so far and when I saw my mom and my brother recently, they commented that I was looking good, which helped me to see my progress even more.

I would recommend A New Day Hypnosis to anyone who wants a healthy lifestyle. It's painless and it gives you a good plan. Everyone may not to learn the same things that I did, but there are always things that everyone can learn and improve upon.

I've had to struggle with my weight for the last five years and it's been very difficult and painful. I was tired and restless all the time and it was hard to not be able to fit into any of my clothes. It was painful emotionally seeing people who were thin and then looking in the mirror and feeling so fat. I felt out of control because I couldn't stop myself from eating. I saw what I was doing, but I couldn't do anything about it. It had gotten to the point where I was eating between five and eight times a day. I was embarrassed that I was getting fatter, so I stopped eating around other people.

I've tried fasting, crash dieting, different meal plans, and exercise. The results were temporary no matter what I did. I would lose a little weight and then gain it all back. I'd try for awhile and then miss the foods that I used to eat or I would have outside interference from friends and family and just make the bad choices again.

I heard about A New Day Hypnosis on citysearch. Every review that I read was a positive one, so I thought I'd call. I had a little bit of concern about using hypnosis, because of the things I've seen on TV and in the movies. I was a little worried that it might be mind control, but when I came in and met Laura she seemed wonderful, so I wasn't worried.

I noticed changes immediately after my first session. When I went to eat something, I was choosing things that were healthy. I wanted to get up and go and I didn't have the desire to lounge around anymore. I've gone down two clothing sizes so far. I have more energy and I don't struggle to get up stairs anymore; I'm also getting a much deeper sleep. Of course, there is always that temptation in the background to make bad choices, but doing hypnosis has helped reinforce everything and keep me on track. I feel more in control and if I notice that I'm reaching for something I can stop myself now.

Hypnosis has helped me eliminate all the snacking and friends and family have noticed that I'm thinner and I'm wearing different clothes. I eat more vegetables and fruit and I find that I'm eating a lot less in general. I can control myself and I'm just eating three times a day. I feel more confident and I'm a lot more positive because I have hope for my future.

My biggest benefit has been that I have the tools to lose weight and I've learned a lot about what to eat and what exercises are best for me. I have a clearer structure on how to plan and a direction for healthy eating in my life. I know how to do this and I can apply it to everyday life rather than running home to eat my Jenny Craig meal or getting on another temporary diet. I would recommend A New Day Hypnosis to anyone who wants to lose weight because it really does work.

I've struggled with my weight for the last seven years. My eating habits were very poor because I didn't care what I ate as long as it tasted good. I had no control over my life. I felt out of control, like a tumbleweed rolling across West Texas. My emotions were out of control and I was getting through a couple of 20 ounce bottles of Dr. Pepper a day. I could eat a half a pan of brownies and feel really sick afterwards, but I liked the way that it tasted so I didn't stop myself. I was stopping at Taco Cabana for breakfast tacos almost every day and my stomach really hurt from it, but I kept eating it anyway.

I've tried Weight Watchers and it worked, but after I'd lost twelve pounds, I realized that I had to start reducing my food intake and it totally freaked me out. I wasn't sure I could do it and I had no confidence in my ability. I tried it again three other times and I would do it for a month, but I wasn't prepared for the changes that I needed to make, so I quit.

I knew that I wanted to lose weight because I wanted to excel at my job and feel more confident. I also wanted to have more children and decided to be healthy beforehand. I firmly believe that if you can change your mind you can change your life and hypnosis was something that I hadn't tried yet.

I did a yahoo search and read about A New Day Hypnosis. Pretty soon, I noticed that I was eating better and eating less. I was also drinking a lot more water. The biggest change for me was stopping Dr. Pepper and I haven't had one in two months! I've gone down a clothing size so far and I have a lot more respect for myself because I know that I can do it. My emotions don't go up and down anymore and I'm pretty happy all the time. Today at work someone told me that I have a really bubbly personality, which I haven't heard in a long time. I have more energy and that makes me happy. I feel good and I'm a lot more motivated and patient, so that I get things done right. I notice that I have a lot less anxiety about life in general.

I've been very impressed with the services and I like that the meetings are one on one. It has really helped me to work with someone who is honest and won't BS me through it. It's also been good to work in the present and the future, not digging up problems from the past. I feel much more in control now. When I go to a restaurant, I'm not afraid to try new things that are healthier. I also have more patience with my cooking. I'm more in control about how I make decisions. I step back, evaluate and think about what I want to do instead of doing the same thing every time. I realize that I have choices and I don't have to go back to my old ways.

I eat because I'm hungry now and not because I'm bored. I eat slower and don't feel guilty about not cleaning my plate; my appetite has changed a lot and I notice that I'm less hungry. I feel more confident and know that I can do anything that I want to do. I think a lot of the issues that I had about food were really about fear, frustration, and impatience. Once I got those things under control, the food situation got better. I have faith in myself and know that these changes and my weight loss will be permanent, so I would recommend A New Day Hypnosis to anyone that wants to create a healthy lifestyle.
