Down 3 pounds

I have no cravings or hunger pains even though my partner is eating ice cream, popcorn, pretzels, peanuts and more every evening while watching TV. It doesn't bother me at all. It does make him more self-conscience and guilty about his snacking.

I am eating healthier now especially since I'm not dealing with cravings. I'm not looking at pasta, fried foods, or pizza. Instead I want grilled chicken with a big portion of mixed greens and vegetables.

It is really nice not thinking about food all the time. There are better things to think about or not think at all. When your not focused on food all the time, you can relax.

If you decide this is the path for you, beware the raised eyebrows when you tell people you are losing weight by hypnosis. There are too camps of people - the ones who think it is great and are eager to see how it goes for you so they can try it too and the ones who think you have lost all your marbles and it is time for you to stay in the padded room. But that tells you if they are open-minded or not. Now you can spend more time with the open-minded people and enjoy life more. Who needs the negativity?

And the Journey Continues...

After reading a couple of Brian L Weiss books on healing with hypnosis, I decided I wanted to see if hypnosis would help me lose weight. Maybe my brain needed to be reprogrammed. I read everything I could find and then found a hypnotherapist. I went to my first session today. He told me that he would put me in a heighten relaxed state and put suggestions into my subconscious (I guess it will stop fighting me and we will be on the same page to lose weight). When it was over, I felt very relaxed and energetic.

At my first meal post-hypnosis, I had a salad that I was enjoying but suddenly stopped eating. I didn't want anymore and was satisfied. Even 3-5 hours later, I was fine. No carvings or urges to snack.

I am to avoid white sugar, white flour, white rice, and most dairy products. I am to eat protein at breakfast and only eat three meals. I ordered Mastering Leptin by Bryon Richards as this is the book my hypnotherapist follows.
