Linda, as you know I have been in a full fledged home remodel since the Louisiana Weight Loss NOW Challenge kicked off July 9th. I bought a home and completely gutted it, and I am now putting back the pieces to move in for October 1st. I am only on Chapter Five of Eight, but I am faithfully practicing the tools I have learned in your Weight Off NOW Self-Hypnosis Home Study System. All I can tell you is that I did not think I could be hypnotized, but hypnosis is working for me.

Hey Linda…
I have a moment to update my blog so let me sit still for a minute and recap.
Seeing this picture also just amazes me!
I joined this challenge not only to change my lifestyle but to stop reflecting my constant dieting and eating habits on my daughter. The other day I noticed a few things; Nicola and Michael grabbed the grapes and oranges for snacks instead of the cookies. The fruit is now out in the open or washed and ready to go in the frig. The “junk” is in a drawer and the bottom on the pantry. Nicola has a new sense of confidence and beauty from the inside. My four year old Michael is addicted to the juice plus chewy vitamins. Sometimes I have to remind him that we only take those once a day. However… I smile knowing that he is getting the nutrients he needs and now making healthier choices.
I did buy and totally gut my new house. The remolding is going great and although the big projects are done, I still have a punch list a mile long to finish. HOWEVER— I can slow down and take one project at a time and not be so overwhelmed. With the hypnosis I have found my stress level and overall outlook of stressful situations have changed. I use handle stress with lashing out or getting frustrated and giving up. Between a combination of feeling healthier and stronger and more relaxed thanks to the hypnosis I am at a better place with my stress and anxiety. I actually have NOT had to take my prescription medicine for anxiety in almost two months. Just knowing that I can manage my panic attacks feels amazing.
One last “OMG” moment…. Recently, I had a visitor come to my home that hasn’t seen me in about 8 weeks. When she got out the car she said “Look at you Skinny Minnie!” I was shocked and looked around to see if someone else was standing there. It feels good that I am seeing results and people are noticing. The biggest part about this is that I haven’t felt like I have given anything up. I still cook every night and bake cookies and treats… but I take a few bites and I am happy.
Oh, one last thing… from changing my eating habits and not over indulging… my IBS has corrected itself. IN OTHER WORDS… I feel great from the inside out and I am happy with my progress.
NOW– I am off to the World Series to watch my brother-in-law pitch for the PHILLIES!! And yes, I will have a stadium hotdog… but I will run up the stadium stairs to get it.
Balancing life… and enjoying every moment!
Thank you!
Christine
