I originally got interested in self hypnosis because I was having a weight problem this summer. I noticed that my weight was creeping up, and I knew that at a certain threshold my diabetes would kick in. (I know because it has happened to me before). So, on a whim I spent about $50 on an audio set “Think Yourself Thin” from Adam Eason an entertaining hypnotist with a strong NLP background.

I was pretty determined to not waste my money, so I decided to follow all the instructions, and listen to the audio sessions at the rate suggested (one per week). I used my determination to leverage my subconscious, determined to make a serious change.

The worst part was keeping an eating journal for a while, and actually discovering what it was like to feel hungry again… This had to happen, because I needed to interrupt my old pattern of eating and bring the whole eating thing back into my conscious awareness again. Don’t worry, I didn’t starve, and after my metabolism stabilized, There was almost no willpower needed to stay on the program!

The most enjoyable part of the program was the audio self-hypnosis sessions. I tried to listen to the latest every day whenever possible. I could feel my body filled with energy and my psyche seemed to feel new enthusiasm after many sessions.

In about 3 weeks I started to notice that my self confidence had improved! and I felt like I had new control over my life. This unexpected result was very nice, and had unexpected benefits in many aspects of my life.

I was told not to weigh myself during the program, so I waited 10 weeks from when I began, I was amazed to discover that I had reduced my weight by over 25 lbs!

Well I was convinced of the power of self-hypnosis, so I purchased the “Master course in self-hypnosis” and started to learn the basics of how it all works. I now can create my own self-hypnosis tapes, and I try to either listen to one of Adams (I still love the Think Yourself Thin sessions) or one of my own, every day.
