Friend of Julie: Meet Erin

Today's Key Hypnosis success story comes from Erin. Thank you Erin for sharing your story and your photos with us. You inspire all of us to continue on our weight loss journeys. 

I have been following your blog right along with Julie's program from the end of August 2013. I love both! On Easter of 2013 my dad hosted a beautiful Easter egg hunt for all his grandchildren and a few extended relatives. It was that day that changed my life forever.

The Easter egg hunt required quite a bit of walking and at approximately 280 lbs and wearing a size 24 I had difficultly keeping up with my 4 much faster kids. After we got back to the house my dad was excited the share that he had heard about Julie's program and gave me the phone number. At first I felt that it was a great idea.. for someone else. I knew that I needed to loose weight but wasn't eager jump into something like hypnosis.

After most the guests had gone home, my Dad offered me what I now know is the greatest gift of my life: he said if I was serious about trying it--he would pay for the program.

The next morning I called Julie's office and was put on the wait list. That day I decided I would start a low carb "diet" and while I waited to see Julie I had some success on my own: I lost 25 lbs.

My 3 sessions started at the end of August and ran into September. I was really nervous when I arrived and even for the first 2 months I was on the program. I thought I might not be able to be hypnotized or maybe I would be one of the very few just not to have success.

I was wrong!

I've found following this program to be just a part of who I am. I have not gone off program and I don't have any worries that I won't reach my goal without straying.

Erin 2 years ago at her brother's high school graduation; size 22-24.

Erin 2 weeks ago at her sister's college graduation; size 12-14 dress which she was in high school.

I am not yet at my goal but I'm very happy to come as far as I have. I have not weighed myself, but I have so many non-scale victories. Here are a few:

1. I rode 6 hours in a plane fitting comfortably in my own seat.
2. I went shopping with my average size friend and I felt normal.
3. I enjoyed keeping up with all my kids at this years Easter egg hunt.
4. I never walk in a room and worry about being the largest person there.

I was obese for the last 13 years. I know that with the tools Julie has given me I will never get that way again.
