This review is from: Weight Loss with Hypnosis CD: Lose up to 15 Pounds in 21 Days! I had tried smlaiuinbl tapes on weight loss in the past and had never had any success. I refer to the type where the messages are embedded in the music. I’ve also tried the rah-rah coaching tapes and had no luck there either. But because I was desperate to find something that would help me break the hold that emotional eating has on me, I considered hypnosis programs. I ordered quite a few to try, but this is the one I’m keeping. Ms. Montanaro’s voice is soothing and relaxing. Her voice is the most pleasant voice of any of the many hypnosis programs I listened to. I wish she would produce other tapes on self-esteem, motivation, etc. These are common problems among dieters. The first program on this C.D. deals with weight loss and uses guided imagery that I find very easy to get into. The second program is on exercise motivation, and is also easy for me to use. I consistently listen to both programs during the morning when I can relax and focus without falling asleep (did I mention they’re very relaxing?) and then I listen to both programs at bedtime and fall asleep to them. After less than two weeks I am noticing that without any conscious effort on my part I am not using food to soothe my emotions anymore. The exercise program has been a little slower to show effect. But the last three days I have been more motivated to exercise, and I am an exercise hater in the extreme. I was very skeptical that hypnosis would work for me, but without a doubt it has been changing the way I relate to food. I’ve lost 5 lbs in the last two weeks, when before my weight loss was stalled due to the emotional stress of this time of year. This is truly helping to change my eating habits and lose the weight. I would recommend anyone who is interested in trying hypnosis for weight loss to start with this program.
