When I started to see my weight loss begin I decided to make a 1 year goal. I wanted to be down 60 lbs. I didn't know if I would make it. I had tried to lose weight for 3 years and I did lose 20 lbs in that 3 years but I couldn't seem to lose more than that. So as we all know I tried Hypnotherapy. I had to listen to it longer than I thought I would have to. I listened to the 2nd week for 3 weeks instead of the 1 week. I had to do that with most of the weeks actually. I also had Jonathan do a form of waking hypnosis called NLP. The NLP gave me a total aversion to sugar. I can say a year later it works works works. I haven't had sugar for a year, and I don't plan on having it ever again. I don't miss it at all. My life is so much better for it. My kids don't have it that often and when they do it's not that big of a deal. Some of my kids are starting to not like it. It's going to benefit their lives for the good. Even though I didn't lose all my weight in 7 months like I've seen others do (can you say biggest loser). But I've averaged a little more than 1 lb. a week. I think it's great to do it more slow and steady. It's healthier for one and second I've had time to make my way of eating a life change. I don't look at weight loss as a temporary thing. I can't see myself eating any different as I do now. I've been doing it for so long. It would seem out of the ordinary to eat like I did a year ago. I'm so excited to live my life healthy and lighter.
Some things I've learned over this year.
- I don't need to lose weight every day.
- It's ok to "stall" for a week and a half.
- My body knows what it's doing so if I treat it right it will treat me right.
- I'm stronger than I have given myself credit.
- I love fitting in smaller clothes.
- I love that my knees don't hurt going up or down stairs.
If you want to try it Jonathan is taking clients to do live sessions. I recommend doing it this way. It can be custom fit to your needs. NLP is magic as well. I believe it helped me reach my goals. He can do it via Skype or FaceTime as well.
Oh yeah I did reach my goal. 60.6 lbs gone gone gone.
