Positive Changes Hypnosis

I wish I had joined Positive Changes 20 years ago. I have gone thru gastric weight loss surgery only to get to within 40 pounds of my goal and gone back to poor eating habits. I have done the liquid diet, Atkins diet, Medifast, low carb, low fat, name it ...I tried it. Sure I would lose but then go back to my old ways of eating. \r Positive Changes has taught me to think and eat like a naturally thin person. That is what I needed, my mind is doing the work. I am not on a diet, I eat like a naturally thin person. Nothings tastes as good as being healthy and thin feels.\r My eating habits have dramatically changed. I used to drink a 6 pack of diet pop daily. In 3 months I have not even had the equivolent of that. I have lost 36 pounds in 3 months. My shirts are falling off my shoulders. My portions are smaller, no drive thru eating, I read about nutritionand read labels. I mindfully eat only when I am hungry and don't snack. There is no desire to do those old habit routines.\r My job at Kaiser Permanantee has a huge Thrive campaign going on now called You Gotta Move and you know, I am ready to start exercising! I will be successful! Positive Changes is working for me! more

I started at Positive Changes two weeks ago. Already, I have lost the cravings for sweets and chocolate. When I go to the grocery store, I can walk by the candy isle and not even look that way. I head straight for the produce section without even thinking about it. My grandson spent yesterday with me and he wanted to bake some cookies. I slipped and ate one but then it felt like the cookie upset my stomach. I had the same response to eating bacon for breakfast yesterday. (My usual breakfast is a fresh strawberry waffle.) I have lost six pounds and am thrilled with my results so far. more

I didn't really know what to expect, I didn't know a thing about hypnosis or it's process. I am so glad I attended the sessions and classes. Iv'e lost over 50 pounds since June 2011 and i'm still going. I am extremely happy with the results. The people that work there are terrific,very nice and respectful. They don't look down on you for whatever condition you are there for,I really enjoyed and looked foward to my appointments.The process is very different from most weight loss programs. It's great more

This has been a great experience for me. My total outlook on life is more positive, not just my eating habits. I have lost 13 pounds in 5 months and I'm trilled with my success. I have the tools to continue eating the right proportions, healthy foods, and work exercise into my life. I didn't gain the weight over night and I'm not losing it overnight ;however, my habits which created the weight gain have been with me for 54 years and now my new habits of 5 months are showing results. It feels great to be in control. more

Keep in mind that I've only been at this for a week, but I'm not hungry between meals, I don't snack, and I have more energy. I don't understand, but I don't care. I feel so much better. more

I want to recommend Positive Changes to anyone who wants to change something in their life. All staff at the center are very helpful, kind, professional & knowlegable. They really care about your success. I can now relax like I could never do before. This means less stress, which means less pain. I have been to counselors before but Sutton is the best. He has gotten me to see where I am heading & where I should be going to have a better life & points out it is ME who is doing the changes. Well worth the time & money to change your life. more

A totally positive experience. Nothing as positive as these people and helping me to achieve my goals. Too bad everybody and everything can 't be this inpsiring. more

What a refreshing change!!! No measuring my food, no writing lists of what I eat, no weighing in. No GUILT trip!!!! Just working on the triggers that made me loose control. Just learning to recognize myself. I know now that have a slim future. more

I joined in January 2012 and have lost 29 pounds just by watching my portions, cutting out the bad fat, drinking 8-10 glasses of water and walking. Listening to the CD's is very important and of tremendous help. Very please with the program. more

I started with Positive Changes last summer and have slowly dropped nearly 30 pounds. I have punched new holes in my belts to keep my pants up. I can now wear nice tops that had become ""too small"" for my upper arms. (I finally bought new - 2 sizes smaller - pants.) Honestly I have not worked the Program 100%. Maybe 50%+ I am still working on my biggest challenge = to make Time For Me! BUT-- Now it is all clear to me. I do KNOW that I can do this. I am thinking now before I act - before I eat. I am eating healthier, snacking less and snacking healthier. I am eating smaller portions and not having seconds. My knees do not hurt and I am sleeping better. Life is getting better one week at a time. I treasure my time with the Positive Changes staff and talking with other clients. Their Classes, Acceleration sessions, Personal Coaching and CDs are working for me - MENTALLY and PHYSICALLY. I like me. I have the CDs and find support, peace and tranquility with them. more

I've only been going for a few weeks but there already have been changes. My favorite part is acceleration. I've stopped eating between meals, eating out of habit or maybe boredom, only use milk on my cereal ( I used to drink a glass with meals loading me with carbs I'm not supposed to have) and fast food places get passed by. I'm motivated. No one has put me on a diet. Changes come from within. I've been an insomniac for close to 40 years. Already I'm sleeping all night and without drugs. That alone is worth the price. more

Started back in Oct 2011 and even though I have only lost 11 lbs since then but my frame of mind has me aware of how & what I am eating & to refrain on just eating out of boredom or any other reason... Positive Changes has given me the incentive to stay positive should something negative happens & to keep working on oneself regardless of the outcome! Thank you for the assistance & regaining my self awareness back ... more

Positive changes saved my life and changed the way I feel about food and myslef. Lets back up the refriderator, nine months ago I weighted 270 lbs and couldn't loose a pound. I hateded myself for letting my weight get away from me to obesyity, I couldn't hardly tie my shoes because I couldn't breath when I was bent over to much weight. My blood pressure was high and boarder line for starting blood pressure meds. I had a bad knee, which was only made worse by all the extra pounds I was packing. I had a lot of side effects from being125lbs over my normal weight of 145lbs.\r My Mom (god bless her) suggested I give PC's a try. She said, ""what did I have to loose."" ""Try something anything""... today is March 17th and I've lost 60lbs, I now weight 210lbs. Yes, I still have weight to loose, but I know I can loose all of the weigh I want to. If I follow the Positive Changes program as I've been doing sence I joined 9 months ago, I can loose another 60 - 65 lbs. and achive my goal of 145 lbs.\r The staff is awesome, totally professional, they are wonderful compassionate people, that really want to help people no matter what is brothering them... the front entry staff knows all of us by name and are consistently glad to see and/or talk to you, they are wonderful and I will miss them. They make this place a comfortable and SAFE place, which is important to most people that have problems.\r I now go to a small gym and work out 2 -3 times per week, I walk my drive at least once a day and usually lots more. (driveway is 1/5 of a mile) I can even jog up the hilly protions of my driveway now. I really enjoy exercising now because the pounds just keep dropping off and when I add exercising it just speed up the process. Before comming to Positive Changes I told friends and relatives I was allergic to exersice.\r Let me tell you ""IT WORKS"" and you'll love Positive Changes, if it worked for me, I know it will work for you. more

I have only been with Positive Changes for a short time. They have helped me with my confidence, and showed me my ""Evil"" eating habits and are helping me rethink my eating habits. more

Positive changes has changed my life. I am still in the beginning of my program but I have already seen drastic changes in my life as well as weight loss. I have way more confidence in myself and no longer feel the need to hide behind clothes! I am very thankful for finding Positive Changes! more

I have just started and lost 3.5 lbs in my first week! The staff is upbeat and encouraging. From what I hear from others, as long as I ""trust the process"" I can't help but be successful! more

I went to Positive Changes to help deal with severe depression and anxiety. Medication didn't help. Counseling didn't help. Positive Changes helped! The hypnosis bypassed my conscious, negative mind and gave it the push it needed to greatly reduce my depression and anxiety. I'm still trying to get back on my feet, but the hurdles and set-backs seem smaller than before and I'm spending far less time being negative and more time being productive. more

Positive Changes is the best thing I have ever done for myself! It is not a diet...they do not ask how much you weigh, or measure you! They only ask what your ideal weight is, where you want to be at the end of the program. You can eat anything, in moderation...Drink 8-10 glasses of water per day. The pounds just begin to melt away! I have struggled with my weight for many years! It is no longer a struggle. This is the simplest, easiest method I have ever tried. I feel like a new woman, more positive, confident, and with higher self-esteem! Postive Changes is LIFE CHANGING! YES!!! IT REALLY WORKS! more

I love Positive Changes! I had been obsessed with food for 25 years and could never lose weight and keep it off. Positive Changes changed the way I think about food. I have been going for 6 months now and have lost 25 lbs. I have been averaging about a pound a week. Slow and Steady has always been best for me. I know I will lose the 100 lbs I need to and I will keep it off for life! I feel so much better about myself and life in general. I feel healthier than I have in years and plan to enjoy my retirement without the worry of being overweight. I recommend Positive Changes to anyone who struggles with weight loss. There is no need to feel guilty any longer! more

Positive Changes has made a huge difference in my life and I am very thankful. I think the idea of having different hypnosis therapists is an excellent idea because each one has a different approach to the difficult aspects that you may encounter. They are not only friendly, but very empathetic and helpful. Thank you PC. more
