Robbie: Introduce yourself.
Connie: I'm Connie, and I was, came here to lose weight to try to get on track so that
I can be the person I want to be.
Robbie: Okay. And how did you hear about the Burlington Hypnosis Centre?
Connie: I'd been hearing a lot of good things about hypnosis and wasn't sure where to go,
so I went on the internet and found website, and it just seemed to be what I was looking
for.
Robbie: Are you glad you came?
Connie: I am very glad I came. I can't imagine being where I am now if I hadn't.
Robbie: How long have you been coming here for?
Connie: Eight sessions over 10 weeks. So this is my eighth session. I just had my eighth
session.
Robbie: Okay, and so what changes have you noticed since you've been coming here?
Connie: Huge changes. The cravings that I've always had are gone. The being able to actually
smell a chocolate bar in another room is gone. I don't want it. I don't need it. I'm happy
drinking water. I'm happy eating healthy foods. It's not just I have to do it, so I'm going
to do it. It's I really want it; I enjoy eating it. And I don't want the bad foods, the ones
that made me where I am now, or where I was. I'm not there anymore. I just feel better
overall because of it.
Robbie: Show us that ribbon you have there. So what's that? Hold it up a little higher
so we can see.
Connie: This is 28 ΒΌ inches; it's exactly how many inches I've lost to date in 10 weeks.
Robbie: And how do you feel?
Connie: I feel amazing. I can't believe that this actually represents what used to be me.
I mean, I've seen the jeans sizes got down; I've seen the clothing sizes go down. But
can't put it into perspective until you can hold it out in front of you and look and say,
wow, that's the total inches I've already lost. And I'll be excited when I can double
this. And I am going to. I am going to continue until I'm where I want to be.
Robbie: So do you think this was a worthwhile investment?
Connie: Absolutely. Absolutely. At first when I heard I was a little skeptical. I heard
good things about it, but I wasn't sure how it was going to work for me, or if it could
work for me because I tend to be a strong willed person. So I wasn't sure if I could.
Robbie: You've learned how to use that in your favor.
Connie: I've learned to use that in my favor. I don't, I'm able to just take control of
almost any situation I'm in now, and not let food run it for me. I'm able to be in control
of what I want to do, and that's a really, really good feeling to know that I'm in control
again not the food.
Robbie: What was the free screening like when you came here the first time?
Connie: It was kind of neat when they actually tried the hypnosis part, and it worked. I
thought, wow, that's cool, because I really wasn't sure if it would ever work for me or
not. So it was really interesting, and it was kind of nice to know that because it did
work that time I thought maybe this will work for me. So it's been, it's been very positive,
and I felt good leaving that that this really might be what I've been needing. This might
be what does it for me.
Robbie: And so do you believe that you're going to continue losing weight until you're
at your goal and keep it off?
Connie: Absolutely. There's no doubt in my mind that I will now reach my goal weight.
I will reach my goal size and more importantly I will feel better, just about myself and
my self confidence and healthwise I'll be where I need to be. Because right now, even
not right now, where I was, was an unhealthy place. I'm feeling a lot better now because
I have lost so much size. I'm breathing easier; I don't have the indigestion I did. I'm feeling
healthier, and I know that as I continue to lose weight and reach my goal that's only
going to get better. And it let me keep up with my son, let me keep up with my friends
and people around me.
Robbie: Really live your life.
Connie: Live my life. Not have to worry if I go to an amusement park will I fit in the
rides, or my size doesn't constantly have to be a burden, something I have to be concerned
about because I know that that's not going to be a problem anymore.
Robbie: Good for you. Is there anything else you want to say?
Connie: Just that I thank you so much for helping me, for letting me be where I am now.
To know that this used to be me and it doesn't have to be anymore, and it never will be again.
So, here I'm getting all weepy. I'm just so amazed that it worked, that it was able to
work for me, and that I can feel so much better.
