My name is Edith Braxton and I am from Arlington, WA and I am a Registered Nurse. I heard about Positive Changes on the Radio. Before I came to Positive Changes, I had been on a diet roller coaster for the last 35 years. Since I was about 20 years old, I have been on and off so many diets. I always lost weight, but I always gained it back. I felt horrible about myself and the clothes I had to wear. I hated to go shopping and didn’t want to buy anything. It was pretty bad. I’ve lost 45 pounds to date, and I have gone from a size 18/20 to a size 4/6.

Hypnosis has been the most awesome thing I’ve done in my life. It’s been a very natural thing, and I don’t feel like I’ve been dieting at all. I noticed after my very first day and session that I went home and slept all night long. It was the first good night of sleep that I’d had in months. I take medications, and I would always drink a pop to wash them down: I knew better as a nurse but still did it anyway. The next morning after I started Positive Changes, I drank water with my medication. I looked at the glass of water and did not even connect that it was a post hypnotic suggestion. It never even registered. Even though I’ve always liked fruit and vegetables, I was in the habit of going to fast food. Believe me, I was not normally buying fresh fruits and vegetables. I went to the Grocery store that night and I had a cart full of fresh fruits and vegetables. I went through the rest of the store and would start to buy the things I’d usually buy, look at them and then put them back on the shelf. It was an awesome experience. I thought “this is going to work”, and this was after my first hypnosis session.

I have thoracic back pain and it’s so much better. I had pain in my knees, and they don’t hurt at all anymore since I lost the weight. My blood pressure is also under control. I now get so many positive comments. People will walk up behind me and say “oh my gosh, you’re just melting away”, or “you’re looking so nice, you must feel so much better.” Before hypnosis I would have said, “Oh, I have ten more pounds to lose”, putting a negative spin on the compliment. Now I just say “thank you”. I never saw myself as a thin person before even when I actually was, but now I not only feel it, I believe it and know it!

My confidence and self esteem have increased one hundred fold. I feel so much better and have so much more energy. I am riding a motorcycle again which was an activity I had given up because of the weight. It’s a wonderful feeling to have my life back!

The cost of the program is more than worth what I have spent. It’s the best money that I have invested in myself in my entire lifetime. And I’ve invested in a lot of things from weight loss programs to gyms and exercise equipment. This has been the best “well spent” money. I would recommend Positive Changes to anyone, and it’s well worth the money you invest in yourself.
